Im an explorer, never see one of this...can you give the system a planet location please.
Ilook like planet photoshop in bulls@#t system, but show me how wrong i am.

Sarcasm mode on:
Look at all those patterns, this is unforgivable.
Yes, we should go back to Horizons planetary tech until Odyssey planetary tech is ready. Then Frontier can release it as an update. When it’s ready.

Just pottering, about 8000 Ly outside the bubble and our friendly "squiggly-double-V" just popped up again. Second planet I've seen this on, and others have posted the same.
Here's the other time I saw it, a few weeks ago, on a non-atmospheric that time.

Again, we paid 40$ for this.... I must admit that for me personally using money as an argument in discussion about ED and it's updates triggers a "WHAT?" reaction. Most of players that get "sucked in" play hundreds or thousands of hours. I just checked: my main account has: it's more then 90...
At least the impact craters have different ejections this time, though that specific crater is on this planet, too.Just pottering, about 8000 Ly outside the bubble and our friendly "squiggly-double-V" just popped up again. Second planet I've seen this on, and others have posted the same.

It's almost on every rocky planet I've been to. And I suspect for the one I didn't see it, it was probably on the dark side.
That looks like glacial features, ice streams between exaggerated nunataks. Below from an earth-like, gravity at 1 g, roughly.I'm still more interested in how this happens:
SNow if it would look like the image you provided, nobody would be complaining. Without the water.. and the atmo of course. But I don't see the earth example having badly stretched textures or very unnaturally highs and lows.That looks like glacial features, ice streams between exaggerated nunataks.

We know the engine can do better, because we have seen a lot of beautiful examples brought up in this very thread. It's just a shame that sometimes the engine decides to go on coffee break
I am starting to suspect this is just a limitation of the new tech. It may well in fact be working as intended.This is not a very encouraging answer.
Cheers,

I don't know why people ever thought it was a bug. Plenty of Frontier devs were working on this for a long long time. It's their brand new terrain generation design. They know how the pre-generated "terrain shapes" are created. They know how they're applied. They coded it. As I said on day 1 of this thread...

And also this, they seem to be aware: Source: https://twitter.com/drkayross/status/1396822807548469251?s=19
Dunno, I haven't visited many low g ice worlds in RL. Ice can make some really weird shapes. Horizons made similar, if less sensible, crazy landscapes. At least the Odyssey ones look like some sort of processes are supposed to work behind them.Now if it would look like the image you provided, nobody would be complaining.

SYeah, but they also look like a cup of Ben & Jerry's at times, that's what is bothering me. It looks really surreal when you get there, and not something that could happen to a geological shape. But 179 pages in, we can't do much else then wait and see what happens.Dunno, I haven't visited many low g ice worlds in RL. Ice can make some really weird shapes.

I know it took 6 years to sort out Horizons and the beigening, but I'm not sure I have the patience to wait that much again.
It's that reflection shader that's a bit much I reckon. Might have to push the slider a bit to the left on that one...

Update 5 contains a few points for planets that could be worthwhile checking out, despite the statement in Dev update 1 from yesterday:
The moon has some. They are impact craters, The streaks are related to the impact. Tycho is a prominent crater with that feature. Of course you find these more often on bodies without atmo.Arizona have a similar one you say. Can you please show me the similar crater on this picture ? Red circles are OK.
Can you prove me such crater is a common feature in our system ? Obviously, since it happens that frequently in space, you'll have to admit the odd to have several of it in the literal hundred of celestial body we have mapped is very high.
So, I want proof it's common.
Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like close up textures getting more variation, not fixing landscape features repeating.
