Karkinos undermesh on Genesis
Since Polymer is very very rare on Genesis (if im wrong, please tell me where you get it xD), the Karkinos in the Lunar caves are very important to me. But in one of the cave (the one at roughly 23 / 25) the Karkinos spawned UNDER the mesh. Now i cant reach it, but it probably still prevents new Karkinos from spawning. Any suggestions?

wait until it despawns, find another, get hexagons and buy from HLNA

Well I just learned that there is a cave with them in lunar biome, so thread is a win already :)
Under mesh spawning in caves have always been a bit of an issue though, hopefully they can improve on it.

I've seen ONE Kairuku on my map, after several wipes, so they do spawn in the arctic. Also, Hesperornis drop org poly (ocean biome).

i came to the conclusion that i just craft the polymer. with the magmasaur you get very good amounts of obsidian out and i already found very good locations for that.
(the cave at the eggstraction mission. bring a megatherium and start the mission on gamma for around 10k chitin on x1 settings. lots of obsidian on the sides, just bring the magmasaur. for stone i tp to bog south west and bog north. thats close to those metal trees where a doedi gets loads of stome)

Yeah with no mantis and a very small number of Kairuku (i only found six near the ice fishing mission, and nowhere else) and Karakinos (i only have one karakino on my whole map currently, and i haven't been hunting them or anything), it seems clear that the one resource that they wanted really rare was Organic Polymer. Hesperonis are common in the ocean, but they are all super scattered and not really farmable.(ive not seen 2 in visual range at once yet.) At first this REALLY bugged me, but then i found that the Ferox gives an otter-like temp bonus in both forms, so the volcanic biome shouldn't force high quality ghille. (I didn't want to be forced to use Otters to handle hot temps) Or if you don't want to rely on shoulder pets, this would be a way to force people to break out their hazmat suits again from Abb.

Second place goes to cementing paste, with no Achatina, and not nearly enough beaver dams (ive not spotted one yet, but i have only partially explored the snow biome.), and not being allowed to grind mission loot items or loot box items, and no Gachas, the only way is the basic old mortar / chem station crafting. Oddly, Obsidian is very common in Snow and Ocean biomes (probably volcanic too, but i havent been there yet) so the rarer part of crafted polymer is the paste, which is a change.

There is a tonne of organic polymer in genesis. Get yourself a bloodstalker, then skate along on top of the sea in the ocean biome. There are Hesperornis everywhere, you'll have a load of O. Polymer in no time
