These were taken in Wregoi JG-Y d24 2 c. Just before the most recent update. I've seen similar texturing on many planets.
Where is the patterning?

LoL
that's priceless!
Of course the opposite is true as well: If there are things you don't want to see, your brain will hide them from you. It's called denialism, and it's on display in this thread.
Ah! But can you spot the man in a gorilla suit!
Something interesting, if you look a bit closely at the repeating patterns...they're not identical. Strictly speaking, they seem to be closely related derivations rather than truly similar in a geometric sense. So the devs just need to turn up the noise generation a few notches, conceptually.
Uuuh look how bright the cockpit is it looks silly.I literally just fired up the game, took off from the planetary base I was docked at and decided to turn around and take a look.
I don't search this stuff out, its just out there, everywhere (or in lots of places)
I can't help but imagine a truck racing down the motorway at night, and Fred shouting to Jack "Turn the cabin lights out I can't see the road."
yeah procedural images will do this as they rely on height maps for variation, they can be done with multiple layers of complexity and some will be more obvious, having different values in texture to colours, will alter how obvious a pattern is.... regardless of how a surface colouration or texture is made, they still have to rely on a basic pattern
I pray FD can fix this because it's catastrophic for exploration.
Screenshot battles will accomplish nothing. It's cherry picked on both side.
The fact remains we have some planet which look better than horizon, but a lot of them are much worse. Patterning effect, lod issues, whatever.
Eventually, there is not "one truth". So it's pointless to fight over it. We have issues, hopefully they get fixed. I don't see the point in denying those exists, but I don't see the point in trying to prove every planet is made by a 5yo on MS paint either.

I was merely trying to demonstrate where both the good and bad texturing issues might stem from, it would make sense for them to use Bryce as it is old tech that has survived extremely well, simply because it is so good at procedural texturing, my examples were deliberately basic (though the left planet turned out well! might use it)
I think we always had them but the new heat map just made it evident. That's why they don't know how to fix it... it's just too late and now they need to create a new algorithm
Okay, here's a recent example:
Here's the part of your post that prompted me to describe your behaviour as badgering:
If you rest your forehead against a tree, you will never be able to see the Forest.
Posting some screenshots that are not showing obvious repeating patterns, will not make disappear the ones that show obvious repeating patterns
I do not know bryce, but generating an entire galaxy worth of planets, using the stellar forge for all the "event" in the history of those world and so on, is a massive task. And a lot bigger than making one or 2 "good" planets.
While I have no doubt about your skill, or your program for a planet. I don't think it can handle anything close to what ED is doing.
