Has anyone successfully scanned a bird in the sky yet without shooting it down first? I never manage to find where it lands after shooting it down
Yes you can, just have to keep at it.
Oh I zoom in all the way, but still can't do it. This is on PS4, maybe it's easier on PC, or maybe I'm just not very good at it. Shooting them down is no problem though, just finding them once they are dead.

This game really needs miiverse functionality.
On my current extreme planet I couldn't scan the birds when I landed, now they're the last species for 100% and I can't find the little fuckers anywhere!
Edit
They be dying next time I see them........ALL OF THEM

They just recently implemented a ticket system for tracking bugs.....no I am not kidding.
People have said it does not fix it

Your starter planet?! Very cool. Never sorted how to activate it though!

I was trying the ship farming thing since I was on a Gek system already. While breaking down the mods from my old ship and transferring to the new one, I was able to get a whole bunch of rarer stuff - Omeganon (however it's spelled) and vortex cubes amongst other things which I thought didn't stack. I never noticed before, but some do - you may just need to manually do so.
I don't want to leave this planet until I have some bank, but I think I sort of broke it - I have a whole bunch of crashed sites markers, but are filled with ships I left behind because they had less slots or they're my old ones

Yeah, you need to move on to a new transmission tower after a while.

Sweet. Thanks man
You can buy a ship from its pilot either on a space station or at stations around the planet. Square to talk and trade with the pilot.
Or you can seek out crashed ships and swap. Those are free, but require fixing up using various inventory items and elements.

You can clear the markers without taking the ship by clicking on the sphere next to them and selecting one of the two choices.
Look for a crashed ship that has a warp drive.
Find a transmission tower(use a beacon and select Transmission) and on completing the terminals puzzle it'll mark a crashed ship on your map. You can then take that as your own if you repair the ship.
Alternatively walk up to alien ships in the space station(or on the planet if they've landed), and you'll get a prompt to talk to the pilot. One of the options is to buy their ship.
You don't even need to do that to clear markers, you just need to walk up to whatever the marker is tied to. In a crashed ships case, just walk up to the ship. In terms of outposts/shelters just go to the save point.

This is the closest thing I've found to a Xenomorph so far. It had wings which made it even worse.

That first pic is great. Never seen anything remotely like it so far.

This worked. I had only been looking at the ship upgrades, which wouldn't have given me enough, but one of my multi-tool upgrades had 100 heridium in it. Thanks!

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I did the same, but eventually I got the blueprint. You can also search out a crashed ship and get it that way.
Regarding hiding in shelters for the extreme survival milestone:
As several people have confirmed, it does work so you can just let the game run for a while. However, on PC the game has to be focused. I didn't realize it is actually paused when it runs in the background, so no alt-tabbing for a cheap achievement.

Restart your PS4,people said it helps.
Shred that tree into carbon!!!
This. They have to be moving away from you at a pretty consistent pace. The ones that zig zag all over the place are imposiible to scan without murdering. Lol

Neat video by Matt Lees about the game, and not hating on it but instead marvelling at it.

Thanks guys..only problem with this planet is there is little to no plutonium nearby as they're all in the caves with the vortex cubes, so continuous landings/departures can be annoying :/ ...first world problems haha
I soldiered through it and got a 48 slot fighter-type ship - I've only seen the space RV's or long tube ones here, so i guess that's a plus.
I ended up selling like 4 stacks Omegon (sp?) oops..should've checked first to see if I need it for crafting anything special. I'm not really going to worry about uprading my ship though. It looks like I have the majority of them by going through this process - I can't remember but I think I have like 10 or so free slots.
Anyone know if certain ship types are more prevalent with certain races? I want to try hunting for a nice sleek fighter

Hey, that does kind of look like a xenomorph's skull.
Arachnid walking brain was the creepiest thing I've seen so far. Something straight out of Doom.
nailed it
Mine the other day. Not sure I can top this 'nailed it'

My first thought.
Speaking of which, on resource gathering with Plasma Grenades:
They do work on resource pillars, gold balls, copper floating eggs, etc.
They don't work on resource crystals, or the rare mats you destroy rather than collect (sac venom). Will just blow them up.
They work great for getting iron and carbon from rock/flora. Oneshotting trees with them is fun.
Ship types on offer seem to vary system to system, so if you're shopping for something specific, jump around after you feel like you have a good handle on what a given system has to offer. Not sure if they vary based on the ruling race of each system or other factors.

Isn't it 1.04? I don't see it in GOG Galaxy yet
EDIT: nvm I found it on the little version number next to the play button (1284085):
FWIW

So... I have a problem. I dont know if its because of the patch or just a bug or what, but all my discoveries just disappeared.
I noticed because I loaded my game in the planet I stoped playimg yesterday, got in my ship, landed nearby... and got the planet discovered message. I have absolutely nothing before that. I've tried reloading my previous save, but its the same, that only has the discoveries I've seen since.
Has the patch broken something? Or it's just lucky me?
I know it's not game breaking, but... kinda sucks, I was actually naming stuff and all that.
I'm on PS4.

Has anyone successfully scanned a bird in the sky yet without shooting it down first? I never manage to find where it lands after shooting it down
I'm at around 10 various flying species scanned, zero casualties. Only once did I even try it, and that was something really special as the intended targets tanked things that would kill even a Sentinel Walker several times over.

Besides launch day, today was the only day without crashes for me. Stuttering yes, crashes, no.
In ship draw distance/lod seems to be even worse. More animals appearing in larger groups. That's what I've noticed so far.
Also, saw a "juvenile and unpredictable" member of a species run up to another species and kill it with a smack.

They "work" on resource pillars, but the amount of usable element you get from them is very low in relation to how big of a chunk of the element you're taking out. To get the most out of mining, you have to use the mining laser.
Mining pillars is a chump's game though. It's slow for everything but Heridium, and every other resource you can find in pillars can be mined faster in other forms (crystals/asteroids). It's just a matter of finding the right planet/system for the right resource.

It's tough. People definitely have every right to be angry, but it's going to some pretty ridiculous extremes. At some point "development difficulties" just isn't a good enough excuse for all the absent features, however I've been more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt during all this and I will continue to do so because I genuinely enjoy the game. I just hope all this rampant negativity hasn't brought HG down.

You don't see much of anyone discussing the real issues with the game in that thread. They seem to have a few tent pole discussions based around multiplayer, sandworms or the size of creatures but most of it is just gaffers trying to out edge each other with memes, clever puns or outrage.
Meanwhile, we're discussing issues with crashing and saved game bugs that are actually hampering the enjoyment of the game for some users.

Your system starts with a "B". My blue stars usually start with an "O". There are things that I don't get with this game.
PhD thesis needed to understand that game.
