Quick question. If Signals detected is 1 or 2, what is the likelihood that you may find more than noted?

1) New to Exobiology. Had about $70m of scans waiting to be cashed up and landed on a planet to scan some stuff. Ship got blown up by a random NPC whilst in the SRV. Nothing in cargo etc. My question is, can I go back and rescan the last planet or two I was at , or will thos species register as...

Hi. I'm a recently returned player looking to explore and do some exobiology, the option wasn't there before Odyssey. Rather than build a new ship would the fighter on a Krait mk2 be able to land on a planet for the scans?.

Never done it before so noob at this. If I scan say 3 planets and sell my stuff at Station XYZ, can I go back to same 3 planets, scan the same stuff and sell it again at Station XYZ? Or do I need new planets and/or station? Thx o7

What's the fattest system you scanned for exobiology to date? I just scored 630 million (with bonuses) today. I wonder how common these are - show your best!

437 million credits for a 32 bodies system that was undiscovered. Had x2 7 biologicals x2 6 biologicals 4 biologicals 2 biologicals Got promoted to ecologist Took hours! Several hours later edit:: Do think exploration needs an easy fix. Full FSS scan followed...

Hi all. I need suggestions for a good ship type for doing planetside Exobiology -- BUT it needs to have 2 seats. I.e., which ship type with decent jump range (it'll get engineered), good landing ability (most important), but a crew of 2+. Background: I have a Krait Mk II I use for general...

If you go to one planet and get a complete sample for say Cactoida Vermis, can I go to another planet and gather another sample of that same plant?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a COMPLETE list of all exobiology species please? I have looked and there are many good guides but so far none have a complete list...I want to mooch around and tick off as I find, and then obviously delve further into seeking out onesie yet to come...

I started exobiology only recently, but I am enjoying it and I started out in my DBX but hate the slow fuel scooping, but I will always have a DBX and use it here and there. So I switched to the AspX for the larger fuel scoop, and it is nice, but it has a larger footprint and takes a little more...

What really put me over tonight/this morning was discovering a system with 3 planets close together with Stratum Tectonicas on them and getting first footfalls on them. Those systems make it worthwhile finding systems without HMC worlds on them, just when I am getting ready to just honk and...

So I went to go see one of the spires and landed about 7km from the site so I wouldn't be attacked. I took my Artemis suit just to add some jump assist. Lucky I did cause in some of the structures a little glowy area you can sample. I sold it for 2.5 mill, plus another 8.5 for first...

It takes a great many scanned lifeforms to earn Elite! Check out this slideshow of start to end in a journey around the Galaxy. This three year project is now complete. I'm now working for Elite V, but I'm only going to take a few selfies with the more interesting lifeforms for now on...

I've been doing a lot of exobiology lately and came across a weird one. With DSS, I found 4 bio signals: Bacterium, Frutexa, Stratum, and Tussock (Serrati). For the first three, I get the normal blue indicator and successfully located them all. The tussock, though, doesn't have any blue, despite...

Recently started exobio and i'm seeming to note a trend. When scanning planets the combined value of all plants, regardless of bio signs, tends towards 20 million. When i find a planet with a single bio, a lot of times its a higher paying one, close to 20 million. When I find a planet with 5...

I realised that by messing around different kinds of missions and equipments: yes, the Artemis has less overall damage reists, but even with your usual G3 the thing moves faster, has a far less battery consumption than the others, and can jump very far with the jetpack. So that for...

I was half way through the Ecologist Rank - now it's been reset back to Zero (in that rank) due to Update 14.01 That's a lot of plant data - for nothing What gives?

I've only just started playing around with Exobiology and have sampled the wildlife on a couple of planets suggested by the tool on Spansh - quite a lot of Stratum Tectonicas and Recepta species, mainly around the bubble for now. I've seen lots of people suggest that there are high rewards for...

How long do you spend looking for that elusive plant before deciding to move on? For me, it's about three revisits to SC and back to the planet before I give up it up as a bad job/too time consuming to carry on looking. I've also seen a number of planets where one variety is apparently there...

...It should at least be half of what it is now. This is silly money for doing essentially not much and risk free. But what's broken are the Exobiology rankings. The progress to rank up is using the old values. So you can hand in scans from 2-3 bios and jump up 2 ranks straight away. Possible...

I'm doing some exploration for a bit as I get back into the game, and I'm curious about exobiology. I understand the basic process is to map the planet with the DSS, then land in one of the blue areas. But, what then? Per usual, the scanner in the moon buggy is next to useless. I do see some...

I've spent nearly 6 hours travelling in the universe and scanning plants on planets. I only landed on planets that weren't ever landed by any other players, but when I returned to the bubble and decided to check my payouts I saw that none of them had a first log bonus. So did I, like, had to...

Looking at the codex in any region of the Galaxy will show lots of different exobiological species and their various types and colours as being reported. What I've been wondering is that, when Odyssey launched, were all of these listed as "Rumoured" until a player found them? (Implying that...

i recently tried to review the discoveries i'd made in the xibalba region to find it doesn't mention my commander as having discovered anything there, some discoveries are also yet to be discovered... even though i discovered them. is this because we're unable to view discoveries in a region if...

I have been wondering if one has to sell exobiology data to get "first to discover", or do the servers log one as "first to discover" after the three diversity samples have been scanned. Thanks in advance.

After recent hotfix,today...Lets....drink tonight!

After having done a lot of exploration including exobiology, I have often found myself wondering just what's in my genetic sampler. It would be nice if the ship/srv lap panel could show the status of the genetic sampler (when the Artemis suit is equipped). Just the simple information of species...

Does Enhanced Tracking upgrade on Artemis suit increases the Genetic Sampler scan range (2nd mouse button)? It would be helpful.

...to you a "solid example" to present to the dev team. @Angus please chime in your thoughts -- WDYT about this idea? I've thought about the exobiology workflow at length. Some of the obvious questions I've asked repeatedly are: Once I've DSS'd the planet where does all that organic map...

It's more tedium added on to an already tedious task, but at least with regular exploration it is still rewarding enough to be worth it. Finding a ringed Earth-like world? hell yeah! having to travel sometimes kilometers to scan 1 thing 3 times, and then do it again for the next, and again, and...

Exobiology is a new addition to exploration, and a pretty neat one at that. The question is, is it worth doing? And if not, how much should it pay to be worth doing? First off, lets calculate the average profit per exobiology scan. Adding up all the values for exobios and averaging them, you...

Personally, I find the entire exobiology part of Odyssey as a "very poorly executed good idea". The heatmaps that have no official explanation are just the tip of the iceberg - still a rather significant one though. I really find it odd, that by launching 6 probes from the orbit of a planet I...

So I was looking at my Codex data and noticed some entries I don't understand. UNIQUE GENUS DATA LOGGED UNIQUE SPECIES DATA LOGGED What is the difference between these two entries and their 'encountered' counterparts which have much higher values despite me selling everything I've come across?

Greetings commanders, so i recently started doing some exobiology and i found a planet with Ammonia Atmosphere and 8 Biological Signals according to the surface scanner, however in the undiscovered plants there are 11 unidentified plants. So my question is, are there 8 different plants like the...

...I'd ask you guys if you'd noticed anything similar. I've just returned from a week long loop out from Colonia, specifically looking for exobiology. Because I wanted to make sure I maximised the search, I actually noted down on paper what the planet was, how many signals and what type, and...

...For me the heatmaps generated with the surface scanner are always only blue, there is no green (or any other colours) as shown in the Exobiology trailer FDev released in the run up to launch. Not sure if this is a bug or not, as the first bacterial sample I found was in the blue area (I...

Maybe I'm just the last to notice - but the range marker in the suit visor, showing distance from the last bio sample, is an absolute godsend. Thank you thank you, for an improved QOL for exobio! When was it introduced? Should I blush with embarassment? Whatever, my life is that much better now.

Does anyone know where one can find the inventory of exobiology samples one is currently carrying? For example, I am out of the bubble and have completed collecting a bunch of samples of different species but not turned anything in yet. I looked everywhere in the game but can't find an...

Right, I discovered a thing that 95% of you already know. So this is for us 5% who don't. Or if you find yourself looking for that last Bacterium that you just can't seem to find...😒 After you Surface Scan a planet that happens to have life forms on it you often get: But while in the Surface...
