Exobiology - Hidden Unidentified Organics

True - but in this case all we need is one confirmed instance of a botanist turning up a single extra species and we've proved it is not a but. That is the thing that's yet to happen!

And that's proving a positive! It only takes one instance to prove the positive, but no amount of negative results can do the opposite. So who's organising and when do we start?

We need someone who is experienced, has the spare time, is online more and has a happy relationship with most people!

How about you, @varonica ?
 
Just spent another hour on a planet with 4 signals and 8 entries and 4 different areas. If this planet had civilisation on it, they would not have a word for 'flat.' There is literally nothing flat on it - not even an ice sheet. I was barely able to identify all 4 known Genera, and the bacteria was up in the mountains??? Go figure... So, no - no confirmation yet.
 
I was planning to do a full exobiology session or two so will try to note where issues happen and see if others have the same problem on the same planet
 
Of the thousands of players doing Exobiology and the hundreds of thousands of flora scanned at this point, zero have been reported as duplicate genera on the same planet.
Of the hundreds of planets I've landed on since EDO released precisely zero have had a maroon shaded scan for a genus I was collecting.

At this point I am comfortable saying FDev prevented duplicate genera from spawning on the same planet. Unless they say otherwise, or someone actually can prove with video a redundant genus exists on a planet the math is pretty much settled. I'm not holding my breathe on this.

Seems possible. Guessing that early report I heard was mistaken or guessing. Several folks have tried but never found the extras. That’s kind of a shame if it’s a bug.
 
We now have proof. Enter system Col 173 Sector CM-U D3-21. There are five moons with one biosignal. I started with 2 A, and (surprise, suprise) it is not Bacteria, but Braintrees.

Even before landing on the ground I could see that there are definitely at least two differently coloured families. I found three kinds of braintrees.

Note the difference between the white and the orange text. This seems to be a bug.

Granted, this is a case of "old life" (pre-Oddyssey), but we now have the proof that slots in excess of the number of biosignals can point to different sub-species of some families of life on a planet.

Brain trees are legacy flora. You find them on Non-atmospheric worlds a few light-years from Guardian Structures. It's an interesting find. What would be good if we could prove the same thing with Odyssey organics!
 
I agree. As I said, it is pre-Odyssey life, and this may account for different behaviour in regard to the new Odyssey mechanics. But we have now partial proof that the slots in the organic discovery plane may actually point to different variants of one species.

Thank you. I made a post about this a few weeks back but was never able to confirm anything. I still have some such places bookmarked.
