FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE MAKE THE LITTLE SECURE CONTAINER THINGS EASIER TO FIND I'VE BEEN ON THIS MAP FOR TWENTY MINUTES

...for the side job "go to this coordinate and find five little crates that are indistinguishable from the space crap everywhere, but have a helpful little yellow light that makes them somehow LESS easy to see". (actual name "lost cargo" with objective "find the lost containers")

put em on my scanner after i get close enough. please. please. i fought so hard to kill that big bloodsomething overseer and protector and the billion little bastards all over the map. im not leaving and letting it reset. :(

If you're referring to the lost cargo missions, the containers are bugged, they are supposed to have markers showing approximately where the containers are. That should be fixed in the upcoming update. :)
Reply from Andi on the Steam forums:

The problem is that for the latest update a bug crept in. Before, there were special "search area" markers, that gave you a hint in which area to search - these are now missing and make it very hard/ almost impossible to find the needle in the haystack
