Can we land on Earthlike or Water Worlds?
Nope, but that would be a truly awful reason as to why barnacles chose nebulae if it turns out to be the case.
Yeah, I guarantee if you go searching for *actual* geysers you'll be doing that longer than you will be looking for Barnacles!
Unless Barnacles take us a minimum of another year to find (which they won't).
Finding planets whose description says there should be geysers, on the other hand, that's easy.

Yes unfortunatelly You're righ
They're in the descriptions, is that not in-game for you? I'd say they could have a concrete effect on the game for sure. Enough that I'd be willing the hedge a bet that there's barnacles there :3
When it comes to looking at ingame clues, I would just like to reminde everybody of the glyphs on the UA pods, shown in this excelent drawing by Simulacray:
These glyps have previously been analysed as a numeral system similar to Maya numerals, specifically dates.
Here are some resources for those willing to give it a go:
Mayan numbers:

Date format:

Date calculator:

I don't have the time for this at the moment, so I just leave ti here.
Think Maya=Maia and date=coordinate with BC dates as minus.

i dont think geysers have anything to do with it, in my opinion these alleged barnacles will be free standing just sucking up the nabula gas, acting as maybe a nursery for what ever lies within.
I focused my search yesterday to the planets closest to the blackhole, nothing. One thing I did notice was I could use the data link scanner on the UA, didnt do anything just thought Id mention it. I also tested if just sitting unpowered did anything along with kicking out the UA and sitting powered down, zip. Along with those I also dropped it near a few of the outcrops opened and close, as well as a few of the other rock type poi's..nothing.

Not sure I agree an EL or WW be far more suitable. The elements in a Nebula are in a more varied and diverse, you are apart from anything else, assuming that the Earth contains all the elements. A large quantity of elements in a planet with an atmosphere would (I imagine) be filtered out or already combined with each other, in a Nebula they are free to move around.
Obviously just my thoughts and I'm not a qualified Astronomer.
MB also said "You are guaranteed to find them if you are in the right location."
I think that means a particular type of planet. If the T Tauri systems have no landable planets then I would go for the planet that is the furthest from its star and that has a gravity of 1g+
In the trailer the planet is very dark which indicates that it is either in shadow or a long way from the nearest light source.
Reaching Milestones with the Pleiades system data spreadsheet, You can now access system specific data in tabs almost all within the nebula are mapped:

but in need of feedback, I'm adding in asteroid belts and marking planets with rings...
Is there anything else that makes you choose a system or planet?

Have we found any planets with craters and fog like in the fog tech demo video? Or fog of any type for that matter?

I agree with you. I think the "Large Bernacles" are small at the begin and they grow the Bernacle shell shape (witch is the metal-alloy) using the elements they absorb from the nebula. I will compare them to our corals (at lest the red one) there is a little form of life that build a very strong shell around them self.
I will also like to point what for me is one of the very few sure hints we have: They are incredibly strong - much stronger than foamed aluminium for example. Many elements form the structure so technically they are alloys, but the composition is different in different parts of the cell walls for strength. They are good thermal insulators, and have a high melting point, but if they are melted they lose all their special properties and become a conventional alloy
I guess this part is important. They are a kind of alloy with a higher melting point (i assume compare to our common alloy) the most common alloys we know they have a melting point around 1100-1300k. And if we add that they are very good thermal insulator, meaby they have those proprieties to protect the life form inside from high temperature.
Talking about UAs. I think UAs and the Bernacles are 2 different pieces of the same puzzle or completely unreleated. My bet: they are kind of NavBeacon. This will explain why they are all around a shell and they use morse code. My think is that someone like to know who is going around this shell witch the center is Merope (thats simply why they point ther) or if someone is taking somethink important out from that shell. I wonder if they will do somethink different scanning a ship with metal-alloy in the cargo.
Sorry for put more space madness around and my terrible English (Italian here)

Lets assume trailer shows real barnacle as u can find it in game.
If moons are Tidally locked to the planet they orbit, the sun still shines on both sides. Same as Earth's moon. Our moon does not have dark side, it only shows one side to earth but shows both sides to our sun.
Tidally locked moons are not different than others that are not tidally locked. They still have day and night cycle.
Tidally locked planets have dark side but i don't know if there is one in the nebula with high gravity. Has anyone checked for tidally locked planets with high G in the Pleiades ?
The best way to narrow the search is to find tidally locked planet with roughly 1g high metal content or rocky world and search only the "sunrise" (edge between dark and light side) because only than dust can exist i think. That should narrow the search quite a bit.
But everything i sad above can be wrong there is noting stopping a GM spawning one where he is at. The trailers are meant to be good for the eyes.
And also dark scene shows better the colors of the structure and adds mystery so also dark side of the planets could also be wrong.

.And very sparse compared to a planet.
Anyway, there are pros and cons to each but either might be a logical place to find barnacles given what we know so far. We just have to rule one out because of game mechanics, which is very unsatisfying.

The meta alloys are needed for a purpose in the organism.
They are incredibly strong so could be used to maintain a high pressure difference between the inside and outside of the body.
They are good thermal insulators so can maintain a steep temperature gradient between the inside and outside of the body.
Could they possibly maintain some sort of fusion environment for hydrogen?

Sorry, just had a cursory look.
+1 rep amazing work
Meta-alloys will also be needed for Sirius Corporation to re-introduce the Mk 3b hyper drive.
No meta-alloys, no new drives ;-)
