CODEX and Tourism Exploration issues

Found these threads with what look like similar weirdness:

CODEX issue

I am on a bit of an Exploration jaunt at the moment and so I checked my CODEX and found that I had not discovered one of the Water Gas Giant planets. The CODEX kindly pointed me to 109 Piscium for an example of one so off I toddled. When I arrived I honked the Disc Scanner and then to make...

Abyss Codex Anomaly Missing?

In the Abyss looking at the codex for the K-13 type anomaly. I am here at the lagrange cloud and I cant find the anomaly anywhere. Is it bugged? The k type is listed under l-type anomalies in the codex too. Flew around the cloud for awhile too.

I went on a tour of known places to look at them for myself and collect some exploration data.

The Silicate Va[pour Ice Fumaroles and Lava Spouts in CP-58 4207 were on my list.

To my both delight and disappointment, there were Tourist Beacons for both and some other things that I didn't check out after I found out the Tourist Beacons were no longer actually at the Geo Features they were supposed to me marking.

The one for the Ice Fumaroles was at a place where there are Silicone Magma Lava Spouts and the one for the Lava Spouts was in a place where there wasn't any Geo Feature of any kind.

Did eventually find an Ice Fumarole.

I won't spoil it for you by telling where it is.

The bodies and the Geo Features appear to be "hand made" and are very different. Very shoddy of the DEV's to lose track of where they put things.

Wonder if a load of tourists would demand a refund if a player took them on a tour and the beacons were wrong??

Here's an incomplete list of Codex bugs, to give you a sense of how many and what kind of errors there are with it.

That said, tourist beacons are a different matter. Many (most?) of them were placed before surface generation was changed, and sites were moved... but nobody from FDev checked and corrected them. With the DSS though, it's trivial to find the current locations of sites... and it's not like beacons around geysers and such have gripping stories to tell

Almost like bad fan fiction where the author just stopped updating mid story.

Ok. A "hint here" the planet with the bad beacons has 22 "geo features" and a complete mix of Silicone/silicate types and the DSS doesn't tell what the feature is, only where it is.
The Silicate Vapor Ice Fumaroles are rare.

Well, they're quite rare indeed.
But "all you need" is a Rocky Ice world with Silicate Vapour Geysers. And hope there's enough of them to yield what you seek amongst other types.

PS.
I found mine for the Codex of the Inner Orion Spur here :

Well FalconFly, this is what my CODEX shows.

I fly two ships is a Wing in Squadron HASL on side by side computers and it was the other ship that did the Composition Scan and we both got the 50,000 CODEX Vouchers.
