I wonder why this terraformable high metal content planet "A 6" has such a low value. "A 7" is mostly the same (terraformable hight metal content) and gave a somewhat expected 2,127,755 CR. But "A 6" only gave 184,249 CR. How can this be? I've yet to see a terraformable planet rewarding so few credits, something looks very wrong there. Should I report this on issue tracker or is this a known bug?
Is this a known exploration reward issue?

I never actually check these rewards off against my places visited .... just assumed they pay up honestly ....... but ........
The short answer is that there appear to be "levels" of terraformability, based on how close the planet currently is to Earth-like conditions. Your planet, with 3576 atmospheres worth of water, has quite a bit of work to do on it to make it Earth-like, so it would not be as "valuable" to a terraformer looking to make a quick, easy colony.
What are the surface conditions like on the other two terraformable planets (A7 and, presumably, A7a as well)?

Cool... I thought that might be the case, but didn't have the endurance to digest that thread.
I know that link you gave in your first post. In fact, it is my base reference initially for what's worth, even though it's not official it's a good and fairly recent reference. Now I had peculiar questions which are not answered so I decided to bookmark some systems I explored to verify some points and stumbled onto this aberration, triple checked and started wondering.
This I can admit, even with very complicated conditions, but the difference is a factor > 10 for very similar planets.
Temperature is 1,396K, it could also be the problem as I can imagine it's quite hard to lower that for humans, though A5 is 850K, terraformable too and as worth as A7 (220K). Now you're right that pressure is tremendous compared to others.
Well, as FD keeps the formula secret, I'll take it for granted that sometimes, terraformable planets can be of very low value due to some "scientific/technical reason". Not worth a ticket in the issue tracker, I guess. Thanks for your answer.
Sure, that's a fair feature request. I wish they would fix the real bug not showing the system names when selling in bulk (this one is on the tracker), when you only see lines starting with a comma. Looks quite ridiculous and never got fixed since ages (I remember I've seen this years ago).
A number of repairs are required.
It's like driving with one functioning headlight and no indicators "But I can use my hands to show direction".
Couldn't agree more. I docked at Colonia a couple of weeks ago after a journey that I began before update 3.3 landed. Not going to pretend I remember all the systems I scanned in November and December last year.
