um, my fauna just changed?

[FeycatG]

Did a patch just happen or something? Several of the fauna on my planet have changed, some of them quite drastically!

With Origins, every planet in the Universe changed. Have you been away for a while?

Hopefully they improve the terrain generation with the next update, given that it has a large focus on visuals and will in some way invalidate existing bases anyway (due to new potential).

No, I only have like, 50 hours in the game. I was playing this afternoon and the animals were normal (ie, as I discovered them - like the first thing I did was bounce to 50 systems looking for a perfect planet for myself, so I'm really familiar with them all)

There is a considerable amount of variation even within the same species. Crab types are a good example. Some look like crabs, some like tarantulas and some like preying mantises, but all are the same crab....

Every planet with a base (according to HG) did not not change "terrain geometry" after Origins update. Bases wont be destroyed or made to be underneath stuff with Next Generation either, i presume.

But there are many, MANY planets to be discovered with all the bells & whistles offered up in the new updates "Origins (new proc-gen formula) and now "Next Generation (newest high-end graphical enhancements) for some, bring a'tear to your eye, amazingly beautiful "new proc-gen system" fabulastical-grandiousity :)

However, as it has been in almost every major "Universe update the "planet ambiance" (next gen flora, fauna, etc.) seemed to change for many NMS'ers, for better or worse, but may not change with the Next Generation update. We shall see.

"Hopefully they improve the terrain generation with the next update..."

I guess you just haven't discovered some of the "New" terrain generation yet... it is remarkable...

(the 2D_parallax does not do it justice... canyons seems about 2+ miles deep ... you can sort-of see that from judging how massively huge the Ouroboros-plants are)

Super excited to see what Next Generation will look like next week !

Only a few had fauna take over like my moon base filled up with life and large rocks planet was dead before no life at all, I'll be packing up the base to rebuild off the ground this time.

I know, that's why i said that.

90% of the planets didnt change (much) so are still "seen one, seen em all" kinda deal. There's no point visiting them unless you need a specific resource.

The terrain planets you mentioned are extremely rare. I visited over 100 systems and only found ~5 of them, none of which have deeper water which is what i was really interested in.

I would die. I visited 49 systems (probably not a big deal to people who aren't noobs, but it was about 30 hours for me!) looking for a planet to build my base on. All quests on hold, just zooming around from system to system trying to find a low/no sentinel planet with non-lethal weather and a pleasant (to me) aesthetic.

If the update ruined this planet I would cry!

So. I just scanned a creature last night, uploaded it and named it, then logged in this morning and now it is a completely different creature. This is not the first time this has happened. Last time I thought it was because i hadn't uploaded it, so i made sure i did it right after discovering this new one, but it still changed.
