Well then, I don't understand what went wrong for you or that reddit post. I was there last week and picked up around 30 Chemical Manipulators. In Fact I'm going to do what I said I wouldn't do and boot back into windows. I'll go and check to see if you're right. But I only started playing again AFTER patch 2.4 and I most certainly picked up a lot of mats there very recently. I may even have a recent screen shot!
I have just been to Dav's Hope, took me 5 mins to get there. I took a screenshot with the game in windowed mode so you can see today's date and time in the top left corner.
Official: Dav's Hope has not been nerfed.
The only thing I can think of is that you looked around in your Ship and not an SRV.. The goodies don't appear unless you're in an SRV
