I agree to a large extent... especially for actions that are common to certain areas.
Like at game start, we have a food replicator. Later on, at one of the stations we also have one there. You'd think knowledge of how to use a food replicator, would be shared between them, but both are separate familiarities.
This has been on the roadmap since v0.3 was being beta tested (Familiarity v2). Skills still have all the same problems and wont work for all the same reasons, but this should deal with the shard familiarity aspect of your problem.
However, I think the OPs issue is more to do with remembering where you got to. Which has also been on the roadmap for a long time - Permanent Log.
