Has anyone found any Biological Locations in the last couple of months? i spend most of my time out exploring, but i have not come across any in the last 3-4 months.
Biological Locations no more?

yup - more damn bark mounds just the other day
In the last five weeks I found two anenome sites, one brain tree site, and at least four or five bark mound sites.
Thanks for the quick replies. It must be just me then.
Some sectors are void of them, some tons and tons. Literally can go from feast to famine on crossing a sector line.
Didn't come across Bio sites for a long time (more looking for ELWs and "exotic" star types), but I managed to randomly stumble upon all three Anemone types in Odin's Hold in the last 3 days - all in previously undiscovered systems well below the galactic plane. Just yesterday I found two of the three sorts in undiscovered systems with 1) an A class supergiant and 2) a B class giant as main stars.
And yes, my trip to BP contains at least two more nebulas - so I will see plenty of bark mounds again

Bark Mounds and Anemones are the only things I've discovered in the last 7 months. Discovered a whole systen full of bark mounds about ten minutes ago.
The thing I can't seem to find is Lagrange Clouds :/
I am currently exploring the Nebulae at the far end of the Norma Arm.
Yes, I've found two planets out in the TRAIKAAE nebula area just yesterday. Both were HMCs, previously discovered but not mapped. Both had Bio POIs, Bark Mounds. I've not turned in the data yet, but soon.
Edit:
I just now ran across another system out in TRAIKAAE, previously discovered but not properly scanned... 5 bodies all with Bio POIs.

Can one body have more than one type of biological?
Edit: I've only found bark mounds so far as well. Just wondering if I do, whether I should visit all bio POIs or not to verify.

Hmm, from my experience I would say:
Same kind, different sorts (e.g. Brain trees): Yes, sure. I once found 3 sorts of brain trees on the same planet in the BLAA HYPAI nebula. I think it was in one of the Guardin Ruin systems over there.
As with different Bio types (e.g. bark mounds + brain trees): Yes, definitely. Planets with two different bio types exist, and from my view, you can easily find them near Guardian Ruins. Found plenty of them with the combination mentioned above in the BLAA HYPAI nebula (next to the Guardian Sites). Didn't find any planet with more than two types of biological on it, but I'm on a search for it...
Interesting. I guess I'll scan all the biological POIs from now on then.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was searching on this subject. I have been traveling towards Sag A and I am currently in the Norma Expanse. I am taking my time and scanning nearly every body in a system, trying to find biological sites. It seems to me that there is a significant drop off from the Inner Orion area. I could find all kinds of biological sites there and Stellar Phenomena, but once I hit the Outer Orion it really dropped off. Hawkings Gap, I found only 2 bodies with biological sites out of the 600+ plus I scanned and no Stellar Phenomena. Norma Expanse, where I am currently, I have found 2 systems with Amphora and just came across one with multiple Bark Mounds, but, similarly, I have scanned 400+ bodies in the Norma Expanse. In the Inner Orion, I probably would have found 5 times as many by now.
i have only found a few in the last six months of scanning. i found one Sinuous Tuber in the Empyrean Straits since i left the bubble on my way into the centre about 10 days ago.
i think the bio types are discovered anyway.
All that is left is Raxxla.

See, this is why if you're looking for bio sites, it's not worth it to waste time on scanning every body in a system. All of them require specific criteria to be met, so you should be focusing on those bodies, not the rest. As best as I can tell, if a body meets all the necessary criteria for a specific form of life (including whether said life is actually present in the region or not), then it will spawn there - unless the body is too small to actually generate even one said site. Then certain types of life (most notably, brain trees) are specific to certain areas of space only, smaller than the region they are in. (Then there's often a nebula requirement too.)
Same goes for NSPs. Find the right region, the right area inside said region, the right systems with the right bodies, and you will find them. It's just that in most cases, these are so rare that you won't randomly come across any. The notable exceptions are the Inner Orion Spur, Dryman's Point and Sagittarius-Carina Arm regions, because they have some forms of life (albulum gourd molluscs in the IOS, the various peduncle stuff in the other two) that cover the entire region.
I should clarify that I am trying to limit my scans to the criteria listed in the Codex for those sites (i.e. Class A stars with temperatures between 200-400K, or whatever it states), I am not just scanning randomly.
Ah, righto. You did say that you're "scanning nearly every body in a system", so I thought you weren't limiting your scans. Then I suppose you're not finding some stuff because it's not present in the region: for example, no amphora plants in the Outer Orion Spur.
Or for NSPs, no gourd molluscs anywhere except the IOS - most specific types are tied to one or two regions anyway. (Except the various anomalies.)
See a list of what has been found where here. At least for the surface life, it appears all have been found.

I have found Anemones in the Abyss and recently some lagrange and ring life in Formorian Frontier. My last finds were around Sag A* tube worms and stuff, but heading back out towards the Frontier again now, so I will see if I can find anything there. There is plenty of stuff out that way but it's distribution is not clear.
