Something wrong in the state of Universe?

no issues here

I have found gobbledygook Flammesis by hitting it with the ships landing gear while trying to skim over a ridge before now.
On another occaision I eventually managed to land near something visually easy to spot and disembarked onto the top of Flammesis, I was in the middle of a patch of it which I hadn’t seen which explained why landing had been unexpectedly tricky.

Green sector?
4 different green sectors to collect 3 scans...

Don't know, maybe I'm color blind or didn't understand the game

Anyway... yes, from time to time I also can't find anything on a planet. But it's ok, I just go on with the next one. If I'm looking for more than 10 Minutes without finding anything I move on. Those 800-900m plants... sometime you can find them easy straight forward, sometimes you have to leave the spot...
I tend to fly around 20 to 90 meter above ground. (You can fly most ships like a helicopter with a pitched down nose...).
Biggest problem for me: I'm flying faster than the game engine can load the objects

Nah, these looked very much like bad hair days...

Usually Osseus are abundant enough to be quite easy to locate... but some planets, they just refuse to spawn in any significant numbers at all. I've mostly (but not exclusively) noticed it with the Osseus Fractus sub-type that seems to like the thin CO2 atmospheres but then the rocky terrain/outcrops on which they grow (I think the codex says as much for the species overall) are relatively small and/or infrequent compared to the rest of the terrain, on top of potential locations often being overtaken by other plants already. Stratum and Tubus being two particular culprits.

The worst case of completing a sample of Osseus on a planet where it was difficult to find had a distance of about 17 kilometers between samples one and two, with about 8-9 between two and three. May have been there were more closer but I might not have been looking in the right spot, and I probably should not have been so stubborn to look for those things there as they don't provide that much of a payout or satisfaction when you do find them. It's more like relief that the painful part is over and you can move on to another planet conscience-free.

... but this is also the person that, when faced with moons containing Electricae, mushrooms (fonticulua, which might not actually be fungus) and bacterium 2k ls from a white dwarf, where it was so dim that the game actually took a red dwarf 45k ls away as the light source... still hunted the germs on the surfaces of each moon except the one that only had the bacterium.

Yeeah... I'm doing mountain tours in my SRV to get that elusive frutexa or fungoid...
Gotta get em all.

I’ve had issues with Osseus before, sometimes just a few spawn kms from each other and it just becomes a massive ball ache. I give it a few mins usually then bail if it’s not playing along.

The SRV Survey companion program is really useful and I’d recommend it. Gives you a decent idea of what’s there and whether it’s worth bothering with.

I generally find bacteria OK to find if it’s not the same colour as the ground. The rewards for it are usually rubbish so I only bother if it’s in an area with other stuff. Stratum Techtonicas is where the bunce is, pretty common too.
