I seem to have found a new type of organic structure: Globe Molluscs
- Thread starter taoa
- Start date
It's only a couple of thousand LY, so I'll see if I can bring some out tomorrow.
@taoa , "What's that now? GMP?": The Galactic Mapping Project. EDSM uses their entries on its map.
As for the molluscs, I'm reasonably certain that like all the small molluscs, these ones are too small for research limpets. Only one way to find out, of course. (Plus all the mollusc samples can be obtained from the large molluscs, and don't appear to have any effect.)
Also, you'd be surprised how often new players find some NSPs and don't realise that there are more than the spiky crystals in them. The tiny lifeforms can be quite difficult to spot.

Great finds, OP!
Thanks for sharing them, and all the detailed info!

Hi all on ps4 the codex says that you found these in the 2100s not 3306.

If anyone is going out there we would like to get them included on the Canonn maps. https://map.canonn.tech/cloud_data.html
Best way is to use the Canonn EDMC-Plugin when you composition scan them but I have a process for loading NSP data from files so if you want to donate your logs drop me a dm and I'll send you instructions.
ISTR someone mentioned that they wanted GMP locations. The Canonn plugin can display the nearest GMP site if you want and it can scroll through them.
You can also search through the GMP here https://canonn-science.github.io/GMP-Search/
Or if you prefer json it is here https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping/json-edd

Got one in there
Holy Cow! I saw you, you little sneak!
I still have to scan one of these myself!
We've been finding them inside O systems only, so far, and the codex entries lean heavily towards these stars too, but not exclusively. Time will tell if there are varieties spawning into more types of systems.
Then again we're already at 6 varieties in the region, maybe that's it
As far as I'm concerned, and maybe Mooing can confirm, I haven't encountered any where a water world of any kind (ELW, WW, WGiant, Giant w/W) was present, so I'd like to find one such system to be able to either confirm they don't spawn in that case, or there's a variety specific to one of these worlds being present.
We already know of one type requiring Giants with ammonia life.

Here's Mooing's find in the 'flesh'
Ostrinum Globe Molluscs
And to get a sense of scale, here's the same one almost right on top of my ship. They're tiny!
These seem specific to Class IV giants, still around O stars.
It really looks like giant planets are always involved. I really want to find a water one now!

First, congrats OP on your discoveries!
I've been in the game for awhile but I didn't know that. Marx, huge thanks for your guide to NSPs so I don't miss them in the future (and for writing out what GMP is )

)With how small the area appears to be, I think we've already found everything there is. Anyways, here's 6 Ostrinum Globe Molluscs I found.
Nice! Now we just need to find out if we can sample them, and what you get
Kinda wish you could scoop them, since they're so small >.>
