Pro space tip. You can dismiss and recall your ship at any time. When recalling your ship it will return to your current position and land within a minute. Saving a great deal of drive time.

[@cmdrstardragonrider8076]

Just a heads up, If you didn't know already, each lifeform is listed in the codex, (at least all found types). In the description of each one, it will tell you how far you have to be to scan the next sample for genetic diversity. Some are as close as 150 meters, others as far as 1 km. Each type tends to be different.

[@Jonas-xn9lw]

You can make a right-click with the Genetical Sampler on different colonies before trying to scan. It's useful, trust me. I did it with Osseuses : There were very little in my area, and I already scanned two, but I found another group that was kinda close. I right-clicked, and almost all plants were blue, except that one that was green. Scanned it, and got the third sample. Always right-click, it can save your time!

[@HobboTube]

Or use the bioinsights tool which will tell you when you’ve gone far enough for genetic diversity.

[@buxton5165]

Something to know - different plants grow on different terrains. Bacteria, tussocks, tubus, and stratum like the flat sandy areas. Osseus and frutexa like rocky mountains (or sometimes rocky ridges in sandy areas). Cactoidia seems to like hills. Concha seems to grow best in small valleys. If you know this it can make it easier to find the right species because sometimes the blue areas on the scanner don't show the best areas to go to pick the right flowers.

[@HawkesGaming]

Good tips on locations.

[@shitmandood]

Sometimes it can still e hard to find though! Imagine having to find Osseus and there are no mountains on the planet to search for them. I’ve had to fly back up and back down five times or give up for the day and start fresh the next day before it would turn up. I’m still finding bio in the bubble that ppl haven’t turned in and getting that extra multi million space bones.

[@kelalatir]

FYI, the Full Spectrum Scanner (FSS) will tell you if a planet has biological or geological features on it when you zoom in. Using the FSS might mean you look at non-landable planets, but I find it much faster than flying to all the atmosphere planets just to see which ones have biologicals on them. Also, the FSS gives extra exploration rank and credits.

[@Rykaas]

Quicker to check the system map to see if it's landable, and once you selected a planet the third option to the right "planetary information" will tell you everything you need in in the "features" o7

[@Achates72]

One easy tip to save a bunch of time is to fully scan each system using the FSS tool. As each body is scanned it will let you know if there are geologic or biologicpoints of interest. Once you have finished scanning go to the system map and click on points of interest. Each planet with life on it will be green.@@Rykaas

[@UndergroundArtistry23]

How exactly do you tell if a planet is landable ?

[@GrandpasPlace]

Now your getting me excited. Ive been way out along the southern edge of the galaxy in the formidine rift for months. This whole trip was done because I was working on getting exobiology elite so Ive been scanning life the whole trip. I had heard they changed the payout for exobiology but that is a huge payout, much more than I was expecting to see. Well, Im still 20Ly away from the closest human system, cant wait to see what I end up with.

[@Arcadif]

As a returning player, I struggled more than I would like to admit, but I made around 10 millions after only scanning one life form on one planet. Tho I visited 3 other planets that had life forms on them, but couldn't find any to scan when I got on the ground... I can only imagine the amount of money I could make it I was good at it.

[@HawkesGaming]

Try outside the bubble and outside the galactic plane. Once you are in an area not travelled by many Commanders, learning becomes very profitable.

[@tommiturmiola3682]

Just one thing to mention for new pilots: When doing exo-biology always try to go to sunny side of the planetoid. It is just so much more pleasant. Not always possible but looking for some bacteria in a dark is just anoying.

[@NinjaZXRR]

Thats a great return, i will be doing this, I have been playing elite for seven years on console. Now that I transferred my account to pc its time I do something else than Thargoid hunting.

Same here. I wasn't even out really trying for exo-bio, was just making my obligatory 5000ly trip to unlock Palin. About 2500ly out from the bubble, started finding First Footfalls all over the place. And as shown here, was flabbergasted the first time I turned in a first-footfall Stratum Tectonicas. The jaded cynic (or clear-eyed realist, depending on one's perspective) might say "make bank now, before it inevitably gets nerfed", lol.

[@HawkesGaming]

@@cragnamorra Fdev knew about Stratum when they did the bonus money fix. I do not think they will nerf Stratum. It's relatively rare compared to all the other life forms in the pool.

[@Sevorast]

Been watching some Elite videos the last few days, haven't played since right before Odyssey came out! My HOTAS broke, was supposed to be like a week but then the replacement I got didn't work and when I sent that back it was this whole big thing where they tried to say I broke the damn thing blah blah blah long story short I didn't play for almost exactly 2 years. So I been watching videos about thargoid storyline and all that crazy stuff, then this video autoplays and now I feel like I absolutely have to log in even though I still don't have a replacement stick. Guess I can use keyboard and mouse though, or my xbox controller? Gonna be weird. Haven't played any of the odyssey stuff obviously, so stoked to get out of my ship and run around! And it looks like maybe some of the performance stuff that everyone was upset about has been dealt with? Looked pretty smooth from the clips here. Anyway great video, gonna binge some of your other stuff now probably. o7

[@mbrsart]

It used to be little more than Personal Narrative™, but after the recent buff it's a good way to make money while seeing the stars.

[@hedcase]

OMG! Firstly, I'd like to say your video was very helpful, thank you. However, you missed out one important point for us newbies. You see i spent a lot of time googling because I thought I was doing something wrong. Because I never got that blue/gold layout and the bit that tells me what stuff is on the planet. Not on the first, or the second, in fact it was the fifth planet I scanned in the 4th system that actually gave me that. I thought I was doing something wrong. Not pressing a key or something. I eventually discovered that the info is on the system map, it will tell you whether or not a planet you scanned has 'life'. PLEASE don't think I'm blaming you, your video was EXTREMELY helpful. I'm just adding this comment for the other newbies like me who might be thinking "My planet didn't look like that after I scanned it!". . So I've landed, looking for Bacteria apparently. No idea what it looks like but I'll have fun searching. It may not be worth much perhaps, but it'll give me an idea of what to do on the next planet 😁

[@Saturnit3]

I had bought the standard version of the game about 5 months ago and it was hella hard making a buck, upgraded to odyssey on a sale and did as you have shown in the video. Spent two days mapping and gathering samples, when it became tedious I decided to cash in on my Hauler and made my way to the diaguandri system, sad thing was, I got intercepted on the way and got caustic damage- quickly jumped away, my ship slowly tore apart and I wanted to "silent run", I saw that on a thargoid video- turns out I needed to get my ship hot so that the damage would stop. However as I tried to get out of the FSS, it kept saying I couldn't do it because there was a star between me and the next destination point. I desperately tried to unlink the destination point so I could get out of the FSS but it didn't work. As a last ditch effort I full throttled aiming at the star so the ship would heat up, alas, it was not meant to be. By that point there was no going back and I slowly watched all my Hauler as it melted away. Defeatedly I looked at my death screen, 40 millions of Cartographic and Genetic data went to waste when there was only 7 jumps left. Sad times. Back to pirate hunting.

[@richvandervecken3954]

You could have avoided being interdicted by Thargoids by using the filters on the Galactic map. If you choose not to go through systems that Thargoids are threatening or occupy you greatly diminish getting interdicted by them. I have only been interdicted by them once and that was before I learned this trick. I travel with 4 pips to engines so I just boosted away from them and reentered supercruise.

[@Saturnit3]

@@richvandervecken3954 yeah I learned that the hard way xD never going any thargoid controlled systems now

[@timedriverable]

As a new player would it be better to do this in solo play...thx in advance.

[@Saturnit3]

@@timedriverable I guess, but in Solo play there will be the same NPC threats as in Open play. Best way to avoid thargoids is open the galaxy map and click to filter all thargoid systems. If you don't go into those systems, and plot another route, you won't have problems. Hope this helps. I only play in Open play and I've rarely seen other online captains, even on davs hope. Not many players are around these times. And those that I encountered mainly ignore others.

Damn, guess I'm too late for first footfall bonus. I've been searching for high metal content planets 2000ly away from the bubble for an entire day and every single one with any stratum on it has already been visited by someone. Or maybe I'm just unlucky. But this is still a great guide on exobiology. The pay is good even without the bonus.

[@jacobchedder6180]

I can't say anything about stratum, but I just found a planet with bacteria that I got first footfall on about 1000ly from the bubble. It was an icy body not even on inara. Keep looking and you'll find something!

[@VoltKraken5555]

Is it worth doing robigo passenger runs still, or does this pay better? I've been using d2ea's cmdrs-toolbox billionaire's boulevard. It's definitely more fun than passenger missions. I'll try looking for first footfall planets.

Robigo can be better only if you get totally unlucky not having first footfalls or finding any stratum. Robigo in a way does require a really engineered Python to be effective. This does not really.

You can make the ship waaaaaaaay cheaper than you did! 80% of your ship's cost is in the fuel scoop...

[@Glorious_Memes]

You have to make sure you're in Elite Dangerous ODYSSEY, not Horizons (if you play on a console then it is Horizons and you cannot get Odyssey). If you are on Odyssey on a PC, it is probably just that there's no life on the planet. Make sure you're scanning planets with an atmosphere and that are landable.

Is this more efficient than Robigo runs?

[@HawkesGaming]

By a huge amount yes.

[@seanchernobyl2911]

Thanks man! Have been following for a few months now subbed. If your on SC, maybe you could help out with some eddies! Thanks again. -Ironpirate20.

Any update on when I can transfer my account to PC from Xbox?

[@HawkesGaming]

Sorry I have no idea.

[@PlanetJeroen]

Neither can I .. I'm shopping with 155M in the bank after mooching an explorer hauler together, then did like 12 planets 20 life forms or so, and not sure what to buy next now ..

[@HawkesGaming]

The python or anaconda or both.

[@PlanetJeroen]

@@HawkesGaming yup, that will set me back about 155M easily :) Went for the Python as per your other guide, now following the mining part to riches. Might upgrade my explorer vessel to that unobstructed cockpit one .. quite liked exploring actually. Im weird like that :p

[@dietergehheim3928]

For new Players, you forgot to mention how to find planets by their names. For example C2 ... That is the 2 (because the 2) Planet at the 3 column (c--> a=1, b=2, c=3) on the systems map. Like a chessboard will do. Good vid tho 07

[@HawkesGaming]

Scanning all planets with atmospheres and landable surfaces.

[@EliaS-vj6mf]

Do you find Odyssey playable? I am undecisive whether to buy it or not

[@HawkesGaming]

It runs way better now than it did after launch. It's night and day.

[@eccoc9099]

I cant find any not first footfalled planets, ive traveld 800 + lightyears out, like this map is explored completely

[@HawkesGaming]

0.06% has ever been explored. I recently filmed the best start. My buddy went 1k ly out heading up and at an angle. I went 1000 ly out down and at an angle. Boat piles of first foot falls and first discoveries of life.

[@eccoc9099]

​@HawkesGaming What about if inara cannot find the system I am in? Or any around it?

[@juliannicholes3543]

Hawkes check out spacebourne 2 its a single player sc type game sick as fuck

[@HawkesGaming]

thanks I'll check it out!

[@PNX034]

This guy likes to hanky panky his friend Herman the one eyed German XD

[@HawkesGaming]

How do you like to make money as a new player to Elite Dangerous Odyssey?

[@Griffo4]

I wish I played ED odyssey, but in normal ED, I like bounty hunting, scanning planets, and commodity running.

[@VoltKraken5555]

I deleted my save and started over a few days ago. I want to try some fps conflict zones with powerplay bonuses

[@AcidAnnihilation]

fighting thargoids on surface stations has been very profitable for me. made enough using road to riches to afford a krait mk2 with ax multicannons. then i went to these thargoid invasions areas in open and started tagging interceptors. i let the big boys kill the interceptors whilst i keep the scouts off their backs. pulling in about 250m an hour so far depending how many people are in the site.

[@aigarskauls9200]

Up to what i feel like doing. Atm been playing some RPGs but Elite is starting to itch. Will have to put it on DL tonight and pop in over tomorow. Havent played Elite on this new PC.

[@Frankenllama]

i try to follow your guides... go 1500 ly outside the bubble just to be super DUPER sure. every planet i went to was discovered and i got 2 first footfalls out of 20 planets :)

[@longinus7150]

i have gone 1200 FUCKING LIGHT YEARS from the bubble, and i still... #1 Havent even found something original to get my name on yet #2 Each planet with with correct criterion already has someone landing on it God i fucking hate this game

[@longinus7150]

For some reason, this system that im going to doesnt show up on inara, im going to try that.

[@longinus7150]

it was a dead end, im just gonna give up on getting my name on some stuff and will just do the money part i guess, first footfall be dammned

[@testaccount7569]

I've found a few about 1k ly from the bubble, stay away from nebulas since they tend to be visited a lot, just go to the middle of nowhere :)
