question about bio-signals help

[Replicator01]

hello Commanders, i found planet with 6 bio signals and went to orbit scan it 100% and then i see blue spots and i found on one large part 3 different bio signals there. i landed scanned 3 times 1 bio signal and get it done. now for other 2 signals in same location i havent saw any other plant or anything else to scan so my question is Do i need re-enter orbit and then priority other bio signal and land on same part to see new life forms? or can i collect 3 different bio signals in 1 landing? i hope you understand my question.

if someone else has same question, you dont need to re-enter orbit, i just found 3 different bio signals in same location few meters away. completed 3 samples and already started sampling next bio-signal

You do not need to re-enter orbit.

Some bio have specifics, for example fungi or frutexa only spawn on hills, so you won't find them on plains even when those plains are coloured blue for some reason.

The meta is mostly landing, scanning, back to ship, fly a few hundred meters, land, scan, rince repeat. Gathering all 3 samples on one single landing is not very efficient since running around takes more time than flying around, and using srv is just more menuing.

just in case you do not know, default Q and E will scan the bio types on the scanner. a lot of them have overlapping biomes. ill grab all the ones in area A, then move on 2 B, which is usually the hills, or some small little dot of something

Get an idea of where they are from orbit but also as others have noted, learn (read the wiki or in-game codex) to learn where they are located.

Generally speaking, just being in the right sort of terrain will get you spawns of what you want, but as you approach, aim for an area where all of the types are close. Eg: edge of a plain with mountains nearby, so you scan the stuff on the plains and then move onto the mouintains without having to go back into space.
