Ocean Temperate

[Hominin]

Has anyone found one of these since 1.5? Might be my bad luck but found plenty of Temperate, Temperate Swamp, even the supposedly rare Temperate Plateau but not a single Ocean planet. Odds don't seem right :/

[aY227]

I definitely found Ocean planets... is Ocean Temperate something different?
Well, anyway - it's a boring planet :)

I'm living on an ocean planet right now, just outside of legacy territory making a lot of fuel before I go in. I don't think I've ever seen "ocean temperate".

They are out there. Even the ones with large water filled craters.

On mine there's a crashed capital vessel in the ocean. It's 200 feet below the surface. I can't say for sure but that kind of depth seems new with 1.5. Everything before has been park the SV hovering at the surface and dive with a drone.

When RE gets updated to 1.5 start the ocean planet start. For me, it`s a tuff one, but I like it best

200 feet or 200 meters? Just askin'

Thank you to all of you, at least i know i'm not just wasting my time looking for something that doesn't exist any more. They used to be relatively common on my previous games but still haven't seen a single one in my post 1.5 main game, let alone one i like. might even be worth starting a new game and saving the seed, my save game is already massive from all the exploration on this one.

Are you talking about a particular scenario? I never had the option to select an ocean starting planet. Normally prefer to start on swamp planet with the hostile CV but temperate gets more focus from the devs and trying snow this time which seems more difficult. starting on an ocean planet would make me delay going to space for quiet a while :) I do like them all but life isn't complete without an island resort of your own on an ocean planet :)

Yes, he talks about Reforged Eden (but you can play Project Eden, if the Reforged Galaxy is not your scene), and I can only agree, the ocean starter is beautiful.

[mathaniel]

Thanks Mr. S and correct.

[Hominin]

Another reason to give that scenario a try, seems to be where most people are these days too, thanks :) But, that might raise the original question again, if ocean planets still generate in the default game? i'll be searching again later, any clarifications welcome.

[ravien_ff]

Yes they do still generate. It's just random.

[ravien_ff]

20% chance of 1 temperate planet, 10% of 2 temperate planets.
A temperate planet, if generated, then has only a 20% chance to be an ocean planet.

Began playing Vanilla 1.4, I "kept" my save (ie. haven't started over yet) for the 1.5 patch. This may have something to do with it.

But Aste Gamma system (for me 17.1LY from my starter planet and system) should have a large Ocean planet, that I would assume is Temperate, due to its weather seeming very familiar to my Temperate Starter, named Naswa.

No enemy factions, just lots and lots and lots of ore deposits, some gold and Erestrum, but many Smuggler's Barges wrecks to scoop up some salvage and alien containers to loot, a smuggler's hideout, 2 fishing huts that have a free bed to sleep in or RP with if you like or wanna core it. A Nest and 2 Large Nests if you like XenoSteel blocks or Xeno Substrate in general (I have a base that's essentially useless and sole purpose is to "research" alien artifacts and stuff, and I buy weird commodities to stock it up with) some crashed CV wrecks and some other tame POIs, nothing Legacy Infected, no living people either.

The smuggler's hideout when taken over and cored shows a Trader NPC is supposed to be on base, but they are hidden, invisible or bugged out. There are some Arachnids/Spiders that I recognize from the polar regions on my Starter Planet, that cause Frostbite when they strike you. Those are very fast.

An island or two with about several hundred acid spitting Starship Troopers bugs, but really no faction or base attacks at all. The deepest I found was in the "Deep Sea" biome, and it was less than 50 or so meters deep, but still significantly deeper than on any other planet I've been to or seen. But not the 200 feet/meter depths I've heard others speak of. Not so far.

The Kelp Forest and Coral Reef water biomes are nice for scooping up tons of Plant Protein, dozens of Gold/Sathium/Neodyium bearings, as well as the 3 basic ore bearings. Lots of raw pantaxid to pick up, both types of alien plasma, as to be expected, Prometheum stones, on land and under water, Magnesium bearings in Deep Sea.

Great place to just "be" and explore, feels like a true PvE "experience" at least in the sense the only things i gotta worry about are the animals and my own stupidity. Which can be enough. But after a while break time and vacation are over, and it's back to butting heads and grinding up steel to fuel the gears of war.

The planet shows up as a green ball on my system map, you could do a Planet search for Naswa and see if it shows up for you in your game seed. There is nothing spectacular about it, but there is just something else about it that makes me enjoy it so much. It's not even just the lack of Factions or base attacks (sometimes that can be boring and I catch myself missing them. Teleporters are amazing btw)

I look forward to the day I can make a Subnautica like base underwater in EGS. Until then I can enjoy what we have so far, and make it more like Stranded Deep.

Desert Golems can be found in the Dust Bowl biome as well. I'd love to have started on this planet or at least have it in my Starter System, but it's a great mid/late game place to check out. Just not for the player that's thirsty for blood and hungry for meat and looking for the next piece of lumber to put on the chopping block.

There some Rich Asteroid Belts in the system for that.

that sounds about right for how it was. it seems to be basically 0% since 1.5. what is your personal experience in a post 1.5 game if you have one?

yep, same again. plenty of ocean planets in my pre 1.5 game. nothing in a new game started after 1.5 and i am starting to think this might be a problem. really could use a vanilla 1.5 confirmation.

Pretty sure when it's set to give miles it gives feet. I can't say for sure unless my game is running though.

Ocean planets are absolutely there in 1.5.
Ocean Temperate I can't say, I've NEVER seen one of those.
