All it really needs is morph technology that can create weighted morphs out of several hand crafted samples to use for planets. If you have four, five samples to morph from, you should get enough variety that you will never encounter the same thing twice within the time frame you forget the first time you saw something.
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)
- Thread starter BlackMaze
- Start date
wonder he was trying to unlock one of the triplet engineer clones (3 of the engineers apparently have an identical body/face) but different clothes.
they didn't want to limit copy/paste to just planet generation.

Very well, I posted them already, but no problem :
And no, it doesn't represent ground. And yes it's an issue. And yes it should be fixed.
Frontier i am a console second rate citizen.
I explore 95% of the time, 80k systems visited, found alot of cool planets in horizons.
You just killed exploration, i wont be buying this trash or your arx packs if this isnt fixed/improved.
You may have fooled pc players but the truth is out now, no doe from me i will save my money.
Shame on you.

I posted them just earlier along with a video for further proof (and I credited your post). I can understand how you missed it but it was pretty obvious that it was purposely ignored by him.
Is it sarcasm?
Because it's pretty obvious, that person who wrote this doesn't really know more then we about how planetary tech works now and how should it work.
I remember the "mining crisis" when FD broke mining while introducing FCs.
Community managers on forums were silent for days, and finally admitted they have no idea if nerfing was intended , their contact in FD can't/won't tell them too, but they made an appointment in next week with someone closer to the technical/programming branch of FD and of and will try to find out.
So this is Horizons?
Odyssey.
Well, it ain't that fast an approximation considering it can take ages to load in the system map planet data.
I'll just go there, and I'll admit that I'm fighting a pointless cause. I think it's fair to consider this OP as a possibility though considering how samey planets do in fact feel-- there are flaws with the planet tech aside from this.
I do think if it's proved that repeating patterns is not the case, this thread should be deleted as it's misleading. You know I don't want it to be true?
Aren't we all ? Except for a minority of trolls, most of us would love if Odyssey delivered and didn't have those massive issues.
We all want the same thing, so stop hiding your head in the sand, and hitting your fellow commander. (not against specifically you, in general).
my god. i knew the expansion wouldn't be ready for launch. but i didn't expect it to be that far off.
when's console launch? i doubt they finish it til then. which unfortunately means no new content, because fdev is fully focused on fixing this game.

Well, Ive seen that often in Horizons too.
Not to that extent. All the planets I find are from around 4 different pattern. It took that one because it's the most obvious. You also have a canyon ice which is fairly obvious.
Don't worry too much about that specific user:
I don't like the new ice worlds.
It often looks very bad from medium altitudes. There is clearly issues with loading in textures as you close in. The speed at which ice freezes is a factor. Flash frozen objects look like they are wrapped in clingfilm-- I remember that on one freak weather day and the twigs on the trees...
So... you admit there is an issue? After we were promised more advanced and unique planets, the fact that they are so similar in many cases is excused by the fact that "I saw it in Horizons too?" Final nail in the coffin for you if I'm honest.
Well I got back to Colonia yesterday and got my Artemis suit. I'll be heading back out into the black. Last time I was out I was out for 4 years 2016 to 2020. I only landed in Colonia to sell a ridiculous amount of Discos, wait for Odyssey and now imma head out again.
Too many hoomans around where I am - I want the loneliness of deep space. Lets see if I can find some gems and figure out how to post screenies to maybe give some hope

He did like twice already, and then backpedalled and told us it was because of the potato pc we supposedly have.
