Again, opportunity cost. I don't enjoy doing more, but getting paid less.
Has anyone ever found Stratum Tectonicas on anything other than a thin ammonia polanet?

In the main I was and will be doing it because I enjoy it, followed by using it to fund my carrier and tritium so as long as I feel like I am having fun and covering expenses I am fine.
Definitely enjoyment over any other consideration. Credits became irrelevant long before Odyssey.
Money : Elite is designed around rank progression. Exobio has been put "in the right place", FD said. On my side, I became Ecologist before they changed values. Now I don't expect becoming Elite on Exobio before the servers are taken down as I will never grind (edit : if not for pleasure) nor maximize money output.
About the question. I'm taking notes for fun since a few days as I'm casually exploring unknown places for Codex completion and got this so far
Rocky 6 NH3 (Ammonia),
Rocky 4 and 5 CO2
Metal Rich 5 CO2
Metal Rich 2 SO2
Rocky 2 SO2
Regards

I know I am a little late to the party but maybe this will help someone who comes across this thread.
I generally make about a 1 billion credits in about 5 hours or so. Results do very depending on the reference system and luck.
First go here: Spansh Body Search
Select:
'Reference System' and enter where you wish to begin your search.
'Distance (LY)' and enter the radius of your search. I generally go 200 LY or so.
'Distance to Arrival (LS)' and enter how far from the main star you wish to travel. I generally go 20K LS now that SCO is a thing.
'Gravity' and enter 0-.45
'Landable' and choose Yes
'Atmosphere' and select Thin Carbon Dioxide, Thin Ammonia, Thin Oxygen, Thin Water and Thin Sulphur Dioxide
'Subtype' and select High metal content world.
Hit search, you will get a list of systems and planets to visit.
I don't know how long Spansh keeps its searches for, but here is an example.
Stratum search around Sol
Hope this helps

Tectonicas can occur on HMC with ammonia, carbon dioxide, water/water rich, oxygen, and sulfur dioxide atmospheres, but only with surface temperature 165K or above according to one good information source.
Having said that I've got 2xEliteV in exo (and still carried on) and almost all the time it's SO2, CO2 or ammonia where I've found them, probably because those atmos are much more common.
Keep in mind the requirements are far more complicated than just atmos, temp and body type. Some types of Stratum will only appear on Ammonia worlds and some will only appear on CO2 worlds, whereas some will appear on many types of atmospheric bodies, as mentioned Stratum Tectonica, everything including Argon, but strangely not Neon, and there is a fairly narrow gravity band for them, something like between .4g and .6g. There are many Tectonica sub-species that only appear in specific regions and some that require specific star types, so you may not have encountered ones that appear in other atmospheres because they simply don't appear on the region you are in or the stars you are visiting. You will miss out on a lot if you filter by scoopable stars for instance.
Indeed, but I was only relaying what my source claimed ("according to..") and it doesn't mention tectonicas on Argon atmospheres. I'm guessing OP is not so interested in sub-species.
Every single sub-species of Tectonica can appear on Argon atmosphere planets. And whether or not they are interested in sub-species requirements very much matters if you want to tick all the codex boxes, of course some people aren't interested in that sort of thing, but if you are, knowing that some of the sub-species have particular star requirements is important.
I found a planet less than 1000 ly from the bubble that had over 150m worth of bios on that had been discovered but not mapped/first footfall. This was only last week on my way out on my current trip.
