From my experience usually the M star systems have cold planets thar should have chrisonite, you need the hyperdrive upgrade for that.
Or you might get lucky with an F star system.
That's typically what I'd do after pissing off a bunch of people - avoid confrontation - avoid head biting - shut up and fix the problem...not a word, just actions

While on the Mining Beam & Grenades discussion has anyone else noticed that shooting the doors with the mining beam will annoy Sentinels at Colonial Outposts but blowing the doors off with a grenade doesn't trigger them at all? If they're not hostile already anyway.

Is there a list of the types of stars and what planets they normally have?
Oh snap it's gribbs. You digging it?

Yes, second galaxy, fully upgraded, platinumed and still loving it. I have my 'problems' with the game but wouldn't want to express them here. All I will say is I think it needs more variety across the board and a few planets that mix biomes wouldn't hurt either. Now all I'm waiting for is to find out how to get to the damn centre! I'm convinced we need an Omega hyperdrive. I loved the way the first galaxy ended by the way. Very Zennish. I was in a galaxy called 'The galaxy is made of Chocolate' on a planet called 'Carter'.
I'm on a planet called Skyrim at the moment. Look, originality wasn't top priority! I can't seem to get a good picture of it though. I think the lighting is never quite right on this planet, apart from night time.

My PS4 just patched to 1.08. Small patch overall (I think like 64MB?).

First thing I noticed (don't know if it was there before) was a notification in the lower-right that said:
Low Atmosphere Planet
Plentiful Resources Likely
Elevated Strain on Life Support Systems
Again, no idea if that notification was common pre 1.08, but this is the first I'm seeing of it.

Haven't found a good looking planet for a while now, though I really need to upgrade my engine. Still on a 24 slot ship, 35 hours in...
I think can upgrade soon got one planet with gold and another with gravitino balls.

I just upgraded to only my 3rd ship last night-- up a whopping 1 slot (22 -> 23) simply because it was free and looks like a white Viper (from BSG). Think I'm keeping this for a while.
That stuff isn't new.
hah well there ya go. After the constant notifications telling me I had unredeemed bonus content, I trained myself to not look at that corner for a good long while. So everything is new to me lol
I'm still 162k light years away from the center of my first one. Honestly I'm only playing in bursts at this point. Variety is much needed.
I've entered a black hole system, with 5 planets. They were all very different from what i saw before, somehow i saw greater geological details and wilder creatures. It had 3 extreme planets (toxic/heat/sentinels) a dead one, and a cold one that i haven't explored yet.
I took the chance to learn more Vy'Keen words and lore, while i was getting my platinum for the extreme conditions. I spend many hours on those worlds, the funny thing is that i got there in order to use the hole, but instead i picked up a planet and set course.
On a side note i now have 2 stacks for gravitino balls (not full yet) and one of the following, resonator,vortex cubes, neutrino module, dimension matrix. So the potential to grow super rich if i want it is there. The funny thing is that now that my inventory is full, the last planet i've landed is filled with venom sacs as far as the eye can see.
P.S. Still on the Edge of Hilbert Dimension

They're used for some higher tier upgrades. But they're not exactly super hard to find either.

In the time honoured fashion, NMS just crashed after the patch. LOL

My latest theory is that the game becomes much more unstable when the online servers are down. Today I haven't been connected to the discovery servers at all, and I've been getting tons of crashes (including a hard lock requiring a reboot just now) if I spend a significant amount of time on a planet (where "significant" means enough time to enter atmo and land somewhere).
It's like every week or so, I can just expect the game to shit the bed. I'm very tired of it.

Yeah, people seem to think Black holes are just for warping further but the solar systems they're in are often unique and interesting.
Just looked it up, the game crashed 17 times total for me. A handful were "random", and the vast majority were during a HD warp.
I've warped 648 times, so... yeah. This is definitely user-specific. Still convinced it has something to do with the HDD. That's the biggest variable by far.

I've come across multiple planets with vortex cubes (and gravitino balls). Sell until you have a recipe that needs 'em. You're bound to find more planets where you can stock up on them.

Might have been a glitch, but I was flying around and saw/heard an explosion on a planet. Looked like the same graphic of a ship blowing up.
I circled around and tried to find an impact zone, but didn't see anything.
Would be neat if it was a ship crashing that I could've found.

Can't believe I just now realized if I find a trading post with stuff I need e.g. Dynamic Resonator, Omegon, etc.. I can buy it all up, save, exit out then restart the game and the stock will refresh. This saves me a lot of time now.
I just need a bit more gold and I can build that Warp drive theta and finally get to explore some of the further stars.
Probably a meteor impact. I remember a few people mentioning seeing them before and I just saw my first one about an hour ago. I saw it streak down and explode in the distance. I didn't find an impact crater or anything though. It'd be cool those events did cause some sort of deformation.

Given how small it is, likely more bug squashing and crash fixing. But who knows?

If it gets above 26.5 C here in San Francisco, people start shedding their clothes as if they had caught fire. Maybe your NMS explorer is just a soft West Coaster?

Can confirm portals are now active, but only in select systems. I've found several so far and have named them 'ACTIVE PORTAL'.
I'm lying, but I do name systems 'ACTIVE PORTAL'
I occasionally rename one with some cryptic shit, like random morse, or the LOST numbers. Just in case someone bumps into it and makes a 3 pages long post on reddit explaining his theory.
To be fair being exposed for long periods of time in 45 degree heat would slowly take its toll - dehydration etc. Especially in a space suit. You'd at least want a drink of water.

so...is there any "science" to finding all lifeforms on a planet? like is the list in a particular order or something?
I've been walking, swimming(ugh) for a few hours now looking for the last lifeform, but have come up with nothing. I'm thinking it's a flying creature as from experience there may be two types of those (and 3 types that are water spawns)
..oh, and for the love of god,I don't care that my jetpack is depleted, or that there's a space anomaly, or to hold r2 to take off. please get rid of those tips..it's bad enough there's no photo mode in the ps4 edition and we have to deal with the landmarks on the screenshots..

All I see every time they come close to me.
Is there a PC mod for this yet? If not, why not?

Generally speaking: first on the list, birds, middle, deer/buffalo with a variety of heads, last, fish.
The last planet is the richest i've ever encountered. I named him Hirk's Treasury, you stumble upon venom sacs on the surface, yes it has THAT much, but i didn't take not even one, because i had stacked vortex cubes, and the caves are filled with the things. On top of that the caves have tons of plutonium, and crystal gold.
On the surface of course there is Chrysonite crystal, and plenty of platinum and zinc flowers, there is gold in piles, and i found nickel deposits too (the flat ones with much depth under the surface).
I plan to stay for a while because, i can make 2.4M per trip.
P.S. I also "bought" a new 48-slot ship from the junkyard, now i'ts fully equipped , with optimal configuration, and the cargo hold is full of resources.

I was on a snowy moon last night and my cold hazard protection was kicking in at a 12ºC "storm". The game seems to have no normal operating range for the player's suit and what is cold/hot seems to be defined by the temperature range of a particular planet.

I'm in search of 'my' final ship and I'm now looking for planets to get some great shots. I've got to be honest and say those are my only objectives now and I feel as if I've experienced and discovered everything this game has to offer, regardless of the slight aesthetic changes here are there. I'm in desperate need of new content: New flowers, new trees, new rock formations, new building, new room layouts, new biomes, deserts, marshes, meadows etc. I no longer land on planets but simply window shop before blasting off to another solar system. I really hope Hello Games tie the base building into game's mechanics and add new experiences because of it.

For me it's always:
LAND
AIR
SEA
Although once, and only once I got a vicious land crab last on the list, after some sea life, which was odd.

A few tips. Mind you I've still only cleared eight planets so far.
A other people have pointed out, there seems to be a pattern on how the list is ordered when you hit the "Options" button. Looks like it's Predators, Grazers, Fliers, (not sure of the order of the last two, either Cave Dwellers then Aquatic or the other way around).
The Scanner is your best friend. Holding L2 will give you a pulsing white dot (for distant out, of range creatures) which can be used as an impromptu radar. Obviously red dot shows you what still needs to be scanned.
Also, some creatures only appear at night.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong
I've followed the atlas path, collected 10 atlas stones and birthed a new star. Now my options are from the space map, is either free exploration or route to the galactic core. I assume i'm supposed to head to the galactic core, but there are still so many spots on the path. I thought that after I birthed a new star the game would be "over."

I hate when I scan while in space to see where the planets are and get landmarks plastered on my screen until I leave the system. Let me remove them please.

It shows a 3D mesh of where the planets are on your ship's screen.
