Yup. And when you find this on Deciat 1, Deciat 2, Deciat 3, Deciat 4, Deciat 5, Achenar 1, Achenar 2, Achenar 3... you realize it's not an outlier. It's the norm. The good-looking ones are the outliers.

I'd say its an outlier not the norm
(I'm recently taking a tour to search for pre-engineered stuff for my migrated xb commander, and this involves landing on tens of planets - i havent seen a single pixelated one, but then again, i haven't been in Deciat nor in Achenar for that - btw, are those systems handcrafted?)
I had no idea it was THAT common, i've landed on about a hundred planets since Odyssey came out and i've never seen an example as bad as i've shown, but Odyssey was different back then, maybe i'm lucky, i don't know, but i hope this gets fixed...
I don't remember this being an issue with Horizons, and they call this "improved planetary generation" uh.
I'm based in Deciat. I'll drop in and take some picks in a couple hours and we'll see what's what.
Pick a planet, I'll show you the pattern on it.
Here is Deciat 1.
From a distance:
In orbit
On approach:
And the surface:
I don't see any pixelization at all. Off to do Deciat 2 now.

You will likely be 'fed' a screenie from one of the transition points... Where patterns of the ilk being described may be observed briefly, but long enough to hit the screenshot key to prove a 'point'...
Nah, that's pointless
As i said in the last 2 days i docked to about 120 random stations, probably half of them being planetary ones, and i have not noticed any issues while landing.
I'm not saying there are not specific circumstances where such terrain pixelation is happening, but that does not mean it's the norm - as a blanket statement regarding any and every planet in Odyssey.
OP also said they landed on hundred of planets and never seen it "as bad" as you mention it - so if it was the norm, it should be evident to everyone that is landing on more than 3 planets since, being the norm as you say, at least 1 if not 2 or even all 3 should be affected by it
The only thing you manage to show on the forums is your bias against Odyssey and FDev, and it seems you really enjoy this else you'd be spending your time with more entertaining activities
Here is Deciat 2.

So it is not the game. It is your system and/or your settings.

Frankly, your second batch of pictures still look good to me. In your aerial shots at varying distances your ship and SRV remain sharp and clear. Why do you need even more definition in the fine details of the landscape? Looking out of my window at the grass at 20-30m, I can't see individual blades of grass, but the patches I do see when standing out there are easier to see from here. This is the same effect the devs have incorporated in EDO. It mat not be perfectly done, but it's certainly good enough.
The digital camo look is the norm now, sadly
Looked at the original screenshots.
"I don't get it. What's the problem?"
Scroll down, read comments, understand what the problem is.
Scroll back up. Look more carefully.

Hell, how did you do that? Almost cinematic. Is it Ultra? On high it is a bit worse, still can understand it is the game.
Everything is on Ultra. Supersampling set on normal at 1.5.
I bet you thought you were clever when you skipped all the screenshots between 2km and 180cm altitude. Let's fill the gap, shall we?
Here's where you came in:
"I don't see any pixelization at all."
"I don't see any... oh wait..."
"Guess I'd better stop taking screenshots now."
"..."
"I'll just pretend that this didn't happen."
"I... umm... don't see any pixelization at all. Off to do Deciat 2 now."
I took my shots at game marked intervals. When I approached, when I first enter orbit, when it falls to glide and then on the ground. My screen is perfectly smooth all the way down with very few exceptions. I never see anything that looks as horrific as your screen shots.
I'm sorry you have issues, but they are clearly your issues, not the games.
And by the way, your post was predicted:
I'm out in HP 36601 collecting materials for a while, but when I get back I'll just shoot a video on Deciat 1 going all the way down.
