Unable to find Proto-planets?
I've been looking for protocite for some time. The wiki says it primarily appears on Proto-planets which are found around Dying stars. I've checked over a dozen dying stars and so far I haven't found one of these planets? Am I looking in the wrong place?

I did eventually find a planet that had my scanners blocked but that listed Protocite as a possible ore but I was unable to find any there. Other than that one planet I have been unable to find any that the survey indicated contained protocite.

Edit: I found a proto-planet around a temperate star. Is the wiki page inaccurate?

The wiki is player updated. I don't even touch it other than creating it initially.

Proto are most common around dying stars, but also appear elsewhere.

So far I've found all of my 2 proto planets around black stars, though that is probably because i've got a cluster of 5+ black stars near my starting point and I've only seen 2 dying stars total around in my corner of the universe. So I can confirm that Proto planets spawn around any star type though I'm sure they are more common around dying stars.

That planet that listed protocite probably had a Proto - mini biome, I know I've found Protocite in minibiomes on alien and what I think were irradiated worlds, thouhg in both cases it was of the plant harvested protocite not the ore version, not sure if that is supposed to show up on the ship's ore scanners or not.
