Cool idea, it was a fun enough idea to stick around, but I ran into some issues.
For the first 5-10 minutes I only ran into one scrap and was unable to mine anything because of that. I eventually discovered that moving left and slightly up seems optimal to intersect the trajectory of the scrap, otherwise you may never see any.
I was able to get the radar, but ended up going far enough that there were no more deposits, but I kept going because I was thinking I would find some, but I never found any.
The anomalies such as moving shadows and the shadowy lights that destroy your drones are a fun touch.
