Could not find the geological signals anymore

Yes - rather than geological activity only being at a few specific points, it's spread out over the planet.
If you reopen the DSS you can change its map mode between the various signal types, which will change which bits of the planet are highlighted blue, then fly down to one of those areas and have a look around.
Biological signals work the same way as well.
of course, once you do track-on to a geo site (the finding of which mechanic now is actually one of the few things i like about EDO... more explorer-like fun to hunt and scout then just show up at a target location), it's pretty pointless since all formations are bugged and will give only the same resource... have fun sourcing your jumponium, commanders...!
I also like the new mechanic (at least the idea), but I'm not able to track down geo sites. They are not in a destinct colour. How did you manage to differantiate? Also switch to the backside of a planet is not working for me.of course, once you do track-on to a geo site (the finding of which mechanic now is actually one of the few things i like about EDO... more explorer-like fun to hunt and scout then just show up at a target location), it's pretty pointless since all formations are bugged and will give only the same resource... have fun sourcing your jumponium, commanders...!
I think the number of geologicol / biological items is not the number of locations, it is rather the number of different types of "codex-entries" (e.g. vents, geysers, fungii, etc. ).
it would seem that the entire blueish 'heat' zone is the site (of sorts). just land anywhere in the blueish area, get in your srv, and follow the radiation signatures on the radar display...
confirmed here as well about backside no longer working. yet another in the looong list of things that EDO broke...
The problem that follows with the complete "surface reorganisation" ist the loss of previous known locations like shards.
Ah, that would make sense. And the darker the blue the more likely to find a vent / geyser etc.)?
As far as I've observed it, the different shades in the filter is just the topography. darker shades are mountains lighter shades lowlands.
Thank's, I scanned only a few planets so far, all 90% blue, I think they should at least make a real heatmap, otherwise I miss the point here
About the backside, yeah, it's not working properly for me as well (i see only for an instant the scanned areas on the backside)
I think the heat map is working just fine, any of the planets I scanned that went 90% blue had the specific feature everywhere, drive and fly in any direction and find what you're looking for.
It's more realistic now, flying to a planet in Horizons just to find 3 locations ram packed with vents and then an entirely barren planet was weird.

Hmm, maybe more realistic indeed, but I would love to see some of the mentiones "ram packed vents" This is also reality. Earth is not a typical planet, I know, however we have a lot of these places (Island, some places in Italy....)
I just eplored a moon whith three geolocical and two biological objects. I localized two of the geolicals and one biological in close vicinity.
Give it time, I'm pretty sure places like that will be found too with the way procedural generation works but its gonna be far less common.
I like the way it is in Odyssey, instead of flying to one specific spot on a planet I can choose where I want to search which makes resourcing and exploration more unified, simply better gameplay even if it's not as efficient.
I don't even understand how your doing the filtering .... help me here. Is there a keybind i should have set somewhere?
In the dss interface after youcompleted a full probe scan of the planet, you'll see the filter in the high center of the screen, but only if the planet has features to filter
