Settlement on a Paradise Planet?

[ELDERBLIVION]

Is this possible? Has anyone ever come across one on a Paradise or Bountiful Planet? Majority of times I either get a Poison or Radiation Planet...just looking for something different.

if you find a Settlement on a Planet that you like, you can claim it... you don't have to take the ones the maps show you...

i also remember someone doing some testing a while back... they found that many/most things seem to be triggered on the 2nd planet closest (or furthest? idr) to the one you are on... i think they were looking at the distance of the planets while in space near one... anyway, what they would do would be to go to the other planets and look at each of the others to see the distance... then they would go to the one that placed their desired planet in the position so it would be chosen with the next map... as i recall, this worked every time once they figured out the formula...

i'm not sure i was able to explain that clearly and i wish i could remember who it was that originally described it...

I always use a paradise planet for settlements now. It is so easy just get to a paradise planet, reset the mission for local and boom you will get one probably on the planet, though not guaranteed.

Yes, any inhabited planet should have some settlements on it. My current settlement in my main playthrough is on a paradise planet.

@wkitty42 mentions that to find settlements on a specific planet make sure to use the chart when it is the second closest planet to you, rather than the closest planet. I believe it was @Guyver8 that made that observation. I tested it out a few times and it does seem to work pretty reliably.

Personally I just added settlements to the exocraft scanner upgrades. Exocraft have a shorter scan range than charts do, so having it on exocraft means I can search for settlements specifically for whatever planet I am actually standing on.

Most of my saves have the settlement on a paradise planet, I do that by using one of the settlement maps from the space station vendor, I just use the map while you on foot on the planet I want the settlement on and only once did it point to one on a different planet.

Thank y'all for the help. I'll give it all a go and see what happens.

my settlement is on a green poo planet and one of the buildings didn't spawn all the way making it even comically worse, literal always acid rain, everyone is miserable clones, built on sand, sentinels enraged by it; its a good thing i dont actually pay that deficit or theyd be homeless XD

[SharkPlush]

it always starts acid rain right after you sign the lease you know

Yes it is. I have a settlement on a Paradise Planet.

Yes, my settlement is on a planet with no extreme weather of any kind, and no hostile predators. It is literally the safest planet I have ever found.

Found a nice spot on a nice planet, finally!!! Thanks for all the help!

Planets with paraffinium is a hint for a good planet.

I'm currently managing a settlement on a paradise planet, it's great.

The previous settlement I was managing was on a terrible planet that had intense radioactive storms about every 5 minutes, it was a real PITA.
