No valleys deep enough, no mountains high enough (Oddyssey, new planetary tech)

In Horizon I repeatedly stumbled on really deep canyons and sometimes mountains that streched some 30 km up in the air. Especially on moons close to gas giants. However those geological features seem to be long gone now. Or has anyone encountered any more extreme geology out there?

The new planets are looking great, especially the atmo ones. But I really do miss that old geology.

I found some Planets with some valleys, these extreme valleys not but Canyons and stuff.

And blue sky isnt that hard to find.

I've already found extremer geologic structures than in Horizons. Look harder, or don't give up too soon on this regard. That's actually the main selling point to me of Odyssey and the source of all my hope.

How extreme?

Look at the picture below and see how huge the "old" mountains were. Haven't encountered anything like that yet and I have checked several planets.

Not sure why you bring up blue skies. The different colours in the atmosphere on the new planets is, as I said, one of the new great things.

Degraded Terrain Textures Compared to Horizons

I'll start by saying that there are some interesting new planets being found that look very hopeful. Unfortunately though, there is a serious majority that display very odd/simple/downgraded textures compared to Horizons. I'd like to think this is a bug and do my due diligence by filing a bug...

You're far from alone.

Sadly this lost geology, flattening of elevation data and shinyfying the new cut/paste terrain tiles has pretty much ruled out the more extreme surface flight shenanigans. There's just nothing left to fly around for a challenge. I'm just hoping there's a policy change and they don't force-feed it into Horizons in Autumn as anticipated. Not much hope though tbh.
