Earth like planet
Why is it seemingly literally impossible to find a green planet with blue sky and blue water? I mean true blue not that greenish blue ♥♥♥♥. I have watched dozens of videos and none of them have helped, half of them contradicted the other half even. Is there a legitimate way to find one? Or are they just so rare they are basically none existent. Which would be annoying considering the volume of green planets with yellow/red/orange water and skys.......

It's just random, no specific way to find them but pure luck.

This is one of mine.

Well that sucks to hear, but it makes sense and explains why

You have a better chance of finding Paradise Earth Link planets in Yellow Star Systems. Check for the Letter number combination in the galaxy map. You will see things like F5PF or to the like. The number represents a temperature range 0 being extremely cold 9 being extremely hot. Look for the middle like 5 sometimes 4 or 6 have paradise planets as well. Then make sure its has water in the Listing as well. Scour the map and look for those particular listings ( P stands for a peculiar planet ).. But scour the map in search of the F and G beginning letters with number 5 associated or 4 or 6 you'll have better chance finding one going that route. Also I tend to find systems with at least 5 planets or more for better chances at finding paradise planets. Happy hunting let me know if this helps ya.

even just finding planets with cool colors in any combination seems very difficult. green, blue, purple... i've only ever encountered a single planet that had purple trees, but yellow and orange? damn near every one. seen barely a handful that had blue grass, but again, orange and red? everywhere.
such is the way of rng but it sure feels like the deliberately made earth-like planets harder to find.

Nothing explains that explorer dynamic then searching for something exactly similar to what you know. Maybe request a suburb update? And a minivan?

Thanks for the reply, I will try it out, had no Idea that the letters were important.

I just want to find an earth like for my main base, and I only truly care about the sky and ocean being blue.

Another thing you can consider is to switch to a lush galaxy. There planets have a higher chance being of type lush required for getting earth like. Easiest way to get there is to complete Artemis story line and select the green hologram bringing you to Eissentam galaxy.

For finding a planet you like you can only visit as many stars as possible with the mentioned letters. Get some warp fuel stocked and then look at planets in each system. Scanning also helps as it reveals the type. The 11 type names you are looking for are here: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Lush
If the name does not match one of those it will not be earth like and you can skip visiting. Except if you are also looking for earth like looking radioactive worlds or others.

They exist but are hard to find as it is easy for one color to be off. Even when the colors are right then constant storms or aggressive sentinels can ruin it. The more things having to match the harder it gets.

Im sorry but the letters and numbers do not reflect neither temperature or planet type chances. Been to several systems without 'p' that had glitch/odd planet, and vica versa.

I've found many an Earth-like planet. My most favourite planet ever was one I found on permadeath and the permadeath noob in me didn't think to take a screenshot of the portal address. Not sure I'll ever find it again.

Like mentioned above, I look for yellow systems in the mid temp range with water. More of chance of finding them in larger systems. I'm not a huge fan of extremely mountainous planets, so I rule those out immediately.

Also, way more prevalent in lush galaxies like Eissentam.

Good luck.

This turned out to be true. Luckily found a F5pf and found 2 paradise planets and an overgrown. none of them earth like but definitely hit some kind of jackpot

The most acurate Earths that i find after THOUSANDS jumps around the years are this:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2625069972
Note that the search is a permutation of about six elements (green ground, blue skies, no storms, no rocks forest, etc). Literally these type of planets are one in a million. It's easier to win the lottery.

"G0" is my favorite star system to look. Half of the times appears a lush planet in good condition, but the correct colors will hardly come out.
