Thanks guys, I've got one of the scanner upgrades installed but it still seems to miss stuff right in front of me so I'm guessing that is just how the game is!

I've been naming star systems and planets 'ACTIVE PORTAL'.
On the slim chance anyone sees them, hopefully they'll make a conspiracy puzzle video or post.

Thats cool. Havent seen that yet. What color star is that?

just found a planet that's always dark, even in the dayside
sooo good.
Too bad there's no galactic charting system so you could give coordinates for others to find the planet...

I mean on the galactic map. Is it blue, red, purple?
O type it's blue.

What do the different color stars signify?

Ahhh ok. I thought you were like
because I was asking what color it was in the picture lol.Ahhh ok. I thought you were like
ahah, it was O0p, if i remember correctly
I know now that this is what people are seeing but...
It felt like i didn't reached the center at all, like some force pushed me back only to start all over again. It's hard for me to accept that this is just it, maybe i'm in denial, but there is a chance that we all missed something, and we didn't got the reward at the end.
For some reason, no matter how many times I warp, I've been ending up on planets that are dark, dreary, cold and/or barren lately even if/when the system seems quite bright and the planet or moon has water/liquid oceans and lakes. The class of system doesn't seem to matter neither.
Compared to my first 20 hours my second 20+ are somewhat less... hopeful or happy I suppose. I mean the chances of realistically finding a planet with life on it is supposed to be (infinitesimally) low and this game is not realistic but the planets I do happen upon all seem to have varying levels of fauna but very little flora. I almost yearn for one of those grassy, flowery lifelike planets or moons that I used to happen upon previously.
And the "happy" music which goes with them as well.
For now I continue to my journey onward. Sometimes focusing more on the direction of the center and other times just selecting systems based on differing classes in the hope I find another "happy place" to explore.

OHHH, that's why there are random rocks/elements that I can't seem to figure out what to do with aside from sell them.
Yeah, evidence is overwhelming. Game needed another year, at least. lol

Already addressed that, they didn't. Terminals are still eye height, Gek are still shorter. I guess if they shrunk down everything in the universe except for flora, then sure I guess we could be Alice in Wonderland.
Ended up 100%-ing that planet. Had a cool 4.7m fan-necked brontosaurus and a regal-looking 2m tall Princess Mononoke type of majestic deer. And the birds are so easy to scan now! Off to the next planet; interested to see if that flora was a fluke.

Wait... all of these star types are in the game?

Why the FUCK are there named planets in a system that was listed as "undiscovered" when I warped to it!? GRAAAHHHHH
I found a planet like that. I named it "The Planet From Pitch Black"

Fair enough. I agree with you 95% here.
... Like an elk?
"Yakul!"
Was really keen on trying that too but I couldn't find my way back to the portal
I think I scanned for something and wiped the waypoint marker.Not at all. They made plenty of algorithm edits with the day one patch but it all used the same seed. If anything the seed is one thing that won't change.

Was on a toxic planet last night where some plants were huge. Not especially dense with plants, in fact many areas of barren plains/hills, but the pockets that had plant life were some of the tallest I had seen so far by far. Figured I had just gotten lucky.

I found some Murrine by accident just shooting these bulb things growing out of the ground. There was no exlamation mark when I scanned for them. Thats probably why I cant find Omegon anywhere besides poop.

Ok I don't know if it's the patch or what but I am seeing WAY more huge plant life than before. Also saw a deer creature so big my controller vibrated with each step it took.

Stuff like this makes the game worthwhile to me at least. Hope to find a planet like that.

So the second planet I went to was an atomic island wasteland with hardly any flora, but it did have these giant palm trees that were 3x my height. Not something jaw-dropping, but still pretty big.
The last planet in this system was a snowy forest. Annnd...huge trees. Granted, I've only been on one forest planet before and it had more pine type of trees, but they weren't this big. Maybe this is again within the normal bounds of what other people see, but 2 out of 3 planets on 1.07 that have huge flora? I mean most of those trees are fairly big, but then look at that one in the center right. It's even taller than the plant in my previous picture. Maybe they're not as big as the ones in the PC mod, but damn if this doesn't feel more like a proper forest.
Its body was more like a deer, but had really nice markings and these wavy, long straight horns. I'll upload a picture tomorrow, gotta sleep now.

Just got off of one just like that but with a green tinted sky (since the star/space was green in that system).just found a planet that's always dark, even in the dayside
sooo good.
That's hilarious.

There's one, in a way... I'm trying to figure out how it works exactly. Gonna take some work to map it out, though...
Because the person who found it uploaded the planets but not the system.
Nothing shows as discovered until it's uploaded.

I found my first planet with pretty legit mountains. The screenshots aren't doing it justice, I need to figure out how to make Steam take full resolution screenshots, you can't tell how far away the things in the distance actually are in these... it was pretty damned majestic up there.
I think mountain size scales with planet size. This was a very large planet with three fairly normal sized planets as moons.
It also had the first actual sandy area I've seen.
No sandworms, though... that planet had no fauna...

What happens if I discover it first but someone else uploads it before I do the same?
Will I override their name?

This is really nice.

Holy Sandstorm that's really sand right? Another point of this awful "Shit-that-was-promised-in-the-game" list we can withdraw now huh?
Yes, although it's "just" a texture, it's not "physically" sand. You'll find it easily if you swim down to sea beds on planets with lots of water. I'm not sure there will be planets just with that, though.
The star system I'm in has a good amount of sand throughout (most of the planets have a good amount of water) - didn't know it was rare.

Your steps make a different sound on it too... This sand was above water. Also, the sand wasn't destructible . All the mountainous area around it was, by the parts with sand? Couldn't put a dent in it.
The sandworms found in the dump produced their own "sand blown" effects when they breach the surface, the actual ground textures wouldn't need to respond to them. (If I recall the way it was described by the person who found it, correctly... I didn't click on the link provided since I didn't want to see what it looked like until i find one, lol.)
... there's sandworms after all?
I know you can see it above water, was just giving an easy way to actually see it ingame.
You can't destroy it, because along with some other ground types, it's the "bottom" of the planet. Can't dig any further than that.

Only going to class O and B star systems from now on. So much better. Ive been to them before but since I been only visiting these systems the planets have been much more interesting.
Ayeee.. and I just had my first crash post patch (installed today).. pls dont.. you've been so good.

The way one's character moves while idleparticularly how much vertical movement there iskind of makes me wonder if we are hovering or something. However, there's a manufacturing facility "puzzle" where the correct answer is to
, while that that doesn't really make sense to begin with, it definitely doesn't make sense if the character is floating.
example: Short and Tall. I didn't touch the controls at all between those two shots.
At least this has helped me figure out why it seems like my character's height keeps changing.

there are squares of sand, not a fullfilled planet.
no dunes, only small beaches random located on planets
