worlds update terrain generation and floating islands
I haven't seen the new terrain and features such as floating islands in my game yet, I've explored quite a few systems. Is this locked behind something or have I just been unlucky?

When did you first start playing? I see you only have 50 hours in the game, perhaps what you're used to is already the "new" graphics.

they are rare, seen two or three floating island planets in 100-120 planets visited.

Almost all of the floating island planets I've encountered have been in expos...
I think I've come across maybe one or two naturally.
Same with the synthetic fauna...

I've seen at least a dozen. Maybe a little over half that with synths. A few 3/3 synths as well which supposedly didn't exist.

Floating island only appear on lush (tropical ) planets and are fairly rare.

I think my success rate is how many planets I see, plus I'm in Eissentam.

I scan every critter on every planet, & even with finishing both expos, I'm almost finished with my 29th system of the year, so probably 150ish planets, plus both expos.

More like "lucky". The only things that get in the way of your ship more than these are the megaflora.

I've got two bases on worlds with floating islands - one with red grass and one with teal. They exist but are very rare.
I explore mostly by dipping into a system, finding the lush/tropical worlds with my capital ship's scanner, zooming down to see how they look and plopping down a base computer and teleporter if I like the planet so I can explore it more later. So, I've seen a ton of planets and only have come across those 2 on my own. They're rare gems.

Oh there's definitely a lot of luck there.

Another weird one was 5 of the first 25 were Abandoned systems. I've gone months without seeing one of those.
