Recycler won't give output at Helios Reserve Gemini

As per my standard modus operandi, I scrap everything. EVERYTHING. But it helps to get the recycler on site, instead of running to the boat, even if it is close.

Imagine my surprise when I placed a recycler at Helios Reserve Gemini and got no output. I destroyed it (getting my precious resources of course), placed it in a different place. Made a video. Then placed it in a third spot, just to check. All the same. The recycler on the boat works great.

I don't remember this to be a problem before 3.5 or 3.0. Anyone else got this?

EDIT: I of course tried save and reload. No change in behaviour.

I am going through my second gameplay. The first one I started before the 3.0 update. When it landed, I cleared pretty much every location. Then 3.5 provided some interesting new quests, went ahead and did that too. Now starting from the beginning I noticed that some locations have significantly less creatures than I remember. Just to name a few:

- Lazarus complex, on the roof - the small rooms you access via vents - these used to have lots of pink or dark blobs, now every one of them was empty.

- Prometheus Vault - there was a killer-amount of pink blobs in the vent you go through when trying to access the power room at the bottom - I specifically remember that, because they almost got me killed the first time (flashlight attracted them). Now it was empty.

- Black Vein Station - the "office rooms" under the northern building were full of dark blobs the first time around. Now I only found an some Bio Dark laying around.

Has anyone found this as well? The spawners and most other things seem normal, it's just the pink and dark blobs that have disappeared entirely in some places (but they are there in other locations).

PS. In my previous save I could not provoke the fast sharks to attack at all - they were ignoring shots despite game confirming the hits (this made the quest to hunt them somewhat more difficult, killing these things in motion was not easy). Now I see they aggro to shooting, which is fine and I prefer it this way.

I tried getting up top, but gave up two thirds of the way... I must have built about 30 cable extenders as my steps, but after the second in-game day I just went to the faraway NDNS node and skipped it. I don't think it shows on the map.

A bunch of metal minerals there, mostly resulting in pigments and some gold. As you can see, there are some quantum crystals there, but these can be just shot down with a rifle.

Just did the first 1000km in the boat. When should I change the oil? It runs OK, bit of a gas guzzler, but I resolved that by stashing a bunch of oil on the deck. Autopilot would be nice, radar as well. But so far so good.
