Thank you! I'm not worried about money - I have a lot already - but the way my brain works, I need to practice things before I understand them. So I'll look around local systems, see what I can find, until I get used to it.
Oh, I do have a question, come to think of it. Are TWAs the only places that have life? Or do other landable planets have things growing too?
Thanks!
I took a month-long trip with my primary commander, and Observatory/BioInsights worked great. Upon my return, I found that both of my commanders' discoveries and scans were combined all along. I fully analyzed all 10 bio signals in my current system with one commander, then switched to the other. According to BioInsights, all signals were already discovered and fully analyzed by the second commander. I had to switch back to pen-and-paper to keep track. I created an issue on GitHub, but the project appears to be abandoned there.Elite Observatory - Search your journal for potentially interesting objects, or notify you of new ones on the fly while exploring!
What even is this? Elite Observatory is a tool which can read and monitor your Elite Dangerous journal for objects which might be "interesting" so you can go take a closer look. What is "interesting?" A lot of things, potentially. Currently the built-in checks include: Landable and...forums.frontier.co.uk
MattG's Observatory plugins
Quite some time back now, Vithigar mentioned he was working on a new version of Observatory that would allow plugins. This immediately piqued my interest, and I've been watching the project progress with anticipation. Now we have our hands on the new version I've been busy writing some plugins...
It's a great tool for those who don't have multiple commanders, but it's currently useless for those who do.
Edit: I keep forgetting about Discord. The project obviously isn't "abandoned", based on recent activity there.

That's normal for brain trees and sinuous tubersHi
have you already seen this.....(see hereunder) 2 species of one kind on one planet. Is this a bug or something else? I never seen something like this. And I'm in exobiology Elite 1 working hard on Elite 2.

It's not a bug, but it's due to how the legacy Horizons bios work. Of those, you can find more than one on a planet. Although the different variants are just palette swaps like Odyssey's variants (Cactoida Vermis - Red / Green / Blue / etc) are, they aren't variants, as they had different temperature requirements that the variant system couldn't handle.
For example, Roseum Brain Trees require a surface temperature between 200 K - 500 K, while Lividum, Aureum, Lindigoticum Brain Trees, all of which are just different colours of the original Roseums, require 300 K - 500 K instead.
Thanks for explanation. The only thing which worries me that this count for lot of spieces. But only brain trees are together on one planet.
Not really, just for brain trees, sinuous tubers, and perhaps anemones (regular + bioluminescent). Oh, and technically, Thargoid barnacles too. The only other Horizons bios have only the one kind, no variations. (Amphora Plants, Bark Mounds, Crystalline Shards.)
What's your favorite Artemis Suit Engineering mods?
The only one I know I want is the Reduced Tool Battery Consumption.
The only one I know I want is the Reduced Tool Battery Consumption.
jump assist makes artemis the real flight suit
night vision can be helpful when looking for plants
melee damage for when you need to touch grass real hard
︎ Night Vision
︎ Improved Jump Assist
︎ Increased Sprint Duration
︎ Improved Battery Capacity
That's what I have and it's been great, especially for those mountainous areas where you can't land near the biological.
This thread is a little stale, and I feel really dumb asking this question but it seems like the right place to ask. Having achieved Elite (and Elite 1), where and how do I access the special Red suit pieces that become available once having achieved the rank? I've looked through HoloMe and Pioneer options and nothing is jumping out at me. 
First of all, I want to thank all the commanders for their help and information. Thanks to them, I found a "system with mass E" near the Bubble; I was very excited, and even before jumping into the system I recorded a YouTube video to immortalize the moment. I was convinced that I would find 90 bodies within the system, but there was "only" one T Tauri star.
The reason for this message is to ask for advice on finding exobiology in asteroid belts/clusters, or planet rings. The CODEX says that exobiology can be found in these, and I would like to ask for tips and tricks on finding them. Sorry if this was answered before; I would thank link to information if so. Thanks and regards !

First off, welcome! The Codex is somewhat misleading there then: the life found inside asteroid belt clusters and planetary rings are in Notable Stellar Phenomena signals, so, an entirely different kind, from a few years before Odyssey. If you're interested in more info on them, I do have a link for you: marx's guide to Notable Stellar Phenomena.
The GEC also has a separate category for NSPs (here), so you can look up some of them, see how they look.
So, where's the link to that YouTube video?
