All biomes comlete but still at 94% (8/10 fauna)
I'm at Procyon III with a survey mission. There's only Wetland and Frozen Plain in the planet both which show 100%. Yet, I'm still missing 2 faunas. Any ideas what is going on....? Maybe there's in some cave?

No sir, thats where youre wrong.

You can zoom in really far into a planet when picking a landing spot, and when you click on it, pay attention to the name of the site, if you picked a coast, it will literally have COAST in the name of the site. So just keep clicking and clicking near the water line until you see COAST in the locations name.

I got a beach house outpost at a coast line. And the water is safe to swim in, but theres these HUGE frigging fish in the water that attacks anything that comes out into the water to far. They just straight up murder anything other fish that comes near them.

im staying my @$$ right here on this beach.

No, you CAN land on coasts, the landing location will have the biome name, than 'coast' next under it,

Im literally swimming in the ocean on new atlantis right now, ill see if i can get you a screenshot

You absolutely can land at the coast and have to for some things.

Tip: if there is nothing ocean exclusive the ocean will not say 0%. Unless I remarkably screwed up recalling that.

Wow, OMG, I had no idea this was possible. The game does an utterly terrible job of explaining this. Thank you.

To be fair the blurry planet texture kind of makes it difficult to specifically click on a coast biome at times.

But coasts, lakes, oceans etc are definitely in the game. Wherever you click on the planet matches up with the tile you land on. Not sure why some people would rather spread misinformation than actually correctly answer the question.

They are most likely deep in the oceans, which you can traverse easiy because no vehicles, and you cannot dive and swim to scan them because they didn't finish the game.

I think the issue is that we can't even find the coast when the area is marked as Coastal. Traverse in any direction after landing and you won't find it for awhile.

Is there some trick to getting to the ocean? I've had to go to the ocean a few times now, and normally it's fine, though I seriously do not understand why we couldn't land closer. This time, however, I've traveled for over three kilometers and still haven't reached the ocean. I don't even see anything looking like I'm getting close, like the other planets.

I landed on the coast, to be clear. I zoomed all the way in, selected the ocean, then moved the mouse ever so slightly in the direction of land until I was as close as the game would seem to allow. This is ridiculous.

Fun fact: you don't need COAST in the site name. Just land as close to water as you can, then check local map for where it goes flat. Walk there and you will find the coast line, you can even see how your scanner goes from BIOME COMPLETE to incomplete, because you just entered COAST biome.
