The 9,000 unit scan Expedition 17

[Rhae]

HI
So I am working on this expedition and I scanned the 9,000 unit underwater animal before I hit my 9999 step thing. Is there another animal that will give me that milestone or am I stuck re-doing the entire Expedition again? I've only been playing a few weeks so I am new. Thanks in advance.

The milestone is a 90,000 value scan.
Expedition Milestones can be completed in any order. Some require prior milestones to collect rewards to enable later ones, but the Genetic Currency and Surveyor of Worlds in phase 5 are among the 18 that can be completed in the starter system.

You can complete the milestones in any order.

I completed the phase 4 milestone about getting picked up by a tornado while the expedition screen was still fading out at the very start.

Thanks. That's what I meant the 90,000. I just haven't been lucky yet to find another one then :(

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Once you upgrade your scanner, the 90,000 scan will be easily accomplished on any planet.

There are only three values for Fauna scans based on their rarity and/or size.
1000 1600 3000

That is increased by 25% if the base scanner is in any supercharged slot, and then multiplied by your upgrade module(s) percentage increases.
...

You only need to scan one rare creature with a scanner with an S class Fauna % increase to achieve it.

Install your scanner moduls, you will get as rewards throughout the game. Best in powered slots. Then scan animals. You can easily get over 400.000 for such a scan, then. And if you have more than 3 S-scanner-upgrades, don't hesitate, to exchange them, and test, if the new is better. 3 is the limit, however. (but spare ones can also be installed in addtional multitools, you might have.)

The expedition rewards you with FOUR "S" class scanning upgrades. As noted above you can have a max of three installed.

Make sure that at least ONE of the upgrades has a +% listing for FAUNA <- then just scan fauna - making 90k is as easy as... um, scanning fauna

PS Install your "Scanner" in the supercharged slot, not an upgrade module
