To find resources you will need to use a "survey tool." There are several different kinds...use the one that corresponds to the type of resource that you are looking for, such as mineral, chemical, etc. You may have to craft or purchase some survey tools, since you do not start the game with all of them in your possession.

When you activate the survey tool, you will see a list of resources arranged hierarchically, like a file system with nested folders. Select a resource that falls within a category that you are interested in, and hit the survey button.If any appreciable amounts of your selected resource exist in the area, agradient map with local concentrations of the resource will appear in your survey tool window to let you know how abundant it is. The size and resolution of this concentration map will depend on your surveying skill.

However, more importantly, a waypoint to the highest detected concentration of your selected resource will be automatically created and activated by the survey tool. This allows you to merely walk toward the created waypoint and be sure that that spot offers you the best chance of collecting the resource in the area. You could also walk to the waypoint and then run the survey again, to "follow" the concentration to its source, as resources are typically spread out radially from a central point of highest concentration, and following the survey waypoints will thereby eventually lead you to that central point.

Just be sure you don't get eaten by aggressive monsters while searching for resources out in the wilderness! It helps to make friends with a combat character.

I keep reading about "mask scent" exp.. but I believe this is actualy scout exp. Am I right or wrong? I mean I dont think you get "mask scent" exp right? Soo I have to wonder why is everyone so wrapped up in this skill? Go out, earn scout exp, get your exp III or IV and Mask Scent will improve. As I understand it it's not like using a weapon where you gain "pistol exp" your just gaining SCOUT exp right? If I am wrong please let me know so I see what I am missing out on with this "mask scent" exp.

Then use the DEV tracker cause people are reading what they want into whats being said and you should probably wade through all of it yourself if you really want to know.

A lot of rumours and the short answer is, nobody knows. Even the devs aren't sure yet what theyr'e going to do. They've said some of the items they're considering but haven't said which one's will be implemented, how soon or how severe some of the changes will be.To tell the truth I think they're still making up their minds.

For now, just take a deep breath, do your yoga and wait.

I made some weapon powerup schematics, but they didnt say on schematic what effect it would be. So, I then figured it would show up on said product, but it didnt. Anyone know if this is a bug that being fixed? Heh, selling weapon power up couplers...dont know what they do, but buy them anyway =P

Weapon powerups don't work right in factories right now. It's a known bug and is going to be fixed with the big patch in a couple weeks.
