Despite looping around the far side of this triple-geological, one-biological planet... I have still not found those elusive bark mounds. At this point, I'm giving up.
At least some of the terrain gen was pretty cool.
Also, the geology was really quite generous today. Lots of high grade materials, very few cobble. Even included a couple of clusters of metallic meteorites, loaded with technetium, niobium, and germanium. A short drive quickly generated a respectable quantity of stuff, so at least my time has not been wasted!
