Lets say I have found a planet, landed and deployed terrain walker - how to see where to look for something interesting down there - is it marked somehow or what? Do I have to fly around whole planet to find it?

Fire you Mining beam at the ground and you may find anything - but only one type at a time - jettison what you don't what and try again til you don find what you want - if it's there - aka - gold, platinum, diamonds, metal, water, oxygen, biology (plants)

Don't forget the contracts available at cities which are geared specifically toward TW operations.

Hire a science officer... he'll tell you about any hidden containers in the sector and give you a pitch and heading direction to find it.

I assume pitch is this numbers on the side of the hud (double) and heading compass? Is this container far away? Does it show on the radar as pink spot? I tried to find somethig but there was nothing while "pitching" and "heading" in given direction...

The standard pitch ladder is in 5-degree increments, making it difficult to set an accurate ship's attitude ... 'though there are mods at SeeJay's website which give you one-degree increments. The heading can be set more accurately by using the digital readout on the upper HUD.

You must be really close to the object for it to show up as a purple blip on radar ... but you can deploy a sensor station (using the Deploy Constructor) to find an object which is further away. Or you can use another one of SeeJay's tools: a spreadsheet where you plug in heading and pitch from two different jump points to get a triangulated set of coordinates.
