Can't find biological/geological signals anymore...

[WreckRoot]

In Horizons, when a planet has geo/bio signals, I approach the planet, I DSS it and I can see all of the signals on the planet and in nav panel. I can select them, approach them and find something (geysers, shrooms, crystals, trees, whatever).

In Odyssey it's no longer the case. Almost every single rock I DSS has impact sites, artificial structures, power sources or wreckages. However, even if I do find mention of geo/bio signals, it's typically 1-3 of either and when I DSS the planet... none of them show up on the nav panel or on the planet. I still tend to find the standard (impact sites etc.) but no bio/geo sites.

What gives?

er think the heat maps remove geo locations function...
Thats why every one on PC was in a rush to get mats before EDO release as every one expected mats which you get from geo locations to be nuked...
Rolling back to horizons was not expected as horizons was meant to get every thing but the walking areas...
If you read the codex thats were you start for the new DSS modes.

Confirmed in other topics heat maps in, nav panel out..

DSS heatmap

Does anyone know what the new DSS heatmap is supposed to look like? Mine is just blue and grey and pixelated, and the pattern doesn't change when I change the filter (which I guess isn't intended behaviour). Thanks!

when i was in fss, 2 icy's had bio(2) in their features, i didnt look before dssing them, but those were i think settlements, are you trying rocky/metal rich or all landables?

Ooooohhh.... that's what that is... heatmaps... I didn't know, I didn't play the alpha and didn't notice, I just thought DSS simply is made to look like crap .

I jumped into the game to check what you said and indeed I see the filters in DSS.

HOWEVER

As I found a planet with 3 geo signals (didn't have one with multiple bio at hand), all heatmaps are identical

Spoiler: heatmaps for 3 geo signals

and when I get on the surface and start prospecting, all prospectable nodes yield the same material (phosphorous)

Spoiler: needle crystals = phosphorous

Spoiler: piceous cobble = phosphorous

Spoiler: crystalline fragments = phosphorous

I presume something here isn't exactly right, yes?

Yeah I am seeing the same behavior - but in my case/planet everything in a site is Iron - There is at least one case open on this already on the tracker
However .... I am actually enjoying the gameplay around the new gameloop for finding /scanning for ground sites - as opposed to the old horizons method of scan a planet and have X sites listed in the navigation pane - its far more interactive and explorer like .
