Photos of underwater creatures
In the current joint research there is the task of taking photos of underwater creatures for Nada. Where can I find water on a scorching planet? I have already searched three corresponding planets, but found no trace of a lake or ocean. Has anyone already solved this task and can help me?

You just need to keep hunting through systems looking or a water world that has Solarium listed as one of the resources on the planet.

That is always an indicator of a HOT planet.

I have the same problem with the task of photos of underwater creatures on toxic worlds, I've problably gone through 15 water systems and I found plenty of water worlds or toxic worlds, but never toxic water worlds...

I'm getting pretty frustrated over this ...

Solanium not Solarium.

Edit: Yes, any planet with SOLANIUM and water on it will do.

If you have the Community Event selected in quests and go to the galaxy map and select current mission it'll lead you to planets more likely to have what you're looking for.

My problem is I found a scorched planet, took a photo, the little pop up told me to go into space and contact the anomoly. I did, but the option to send the photo is grayed out. smh

I'll try that, thanks!

You will have to just do it again. (Take another photo) I had this happen to me a few times as well before I completed the optional part of the community event quest and got all 10 images requested.

Disappointing that they just keep sending you back and forth to the same (4) planet types instead of one of each water world biome in the game. (There are a lot more than just (4).

Keep track of each planet location folks! You will need to go back to each multiple times to finish the quest. The game doesn't care if you keep using the original four planets you have already taken photos on.

Right! I wasn't in game and couldn't remember the spelling. I figured the OP would figure it out anyway. ;o)

Solanium is not enough... I hit multiple worlds with underwater creatures and solanium and it's still not happy. Why do they do events that hilight the flaws in this game? FFS, I can't scan planets without changing the f'ing mission because the incoming message notice blocks all the instruments on the panel, not to mention this being the trigger for same?!

Wow people are so easily triggered these days. I had no problem with taking the photos. You simply have to find a corresponding biome which also have water on the planet. And of course ita random, not all planets have water on them. Then make sure at least 10 underwater creatures are on the photo. Its not a rocket science.

This quest was way too tedious, its difficult enough to find specific biome planets that have water, they should not have made you find them in a specific order too.
