Any tips on finding the last species on a planet? There are some butterfly things that do not scan for some reason, and I'm wondering if that's the thing that is preventing me from closing out this planet.

Just.. fly around pulling out your scanner every once in a while. It will show red dots on things you haven't discovered, even through the ground and whatnot.
If there's water, check the water. I found 3 diff water creatures on my planet. Birds I had to shoot down cause it's impossible to scan them otherwise.
Other than that I've been just blindly roaming around. I still have one more species to find and I'll have 100% on this planet. I kind of don't want to leave it, it's so pretty lmao. BUT I MUST EXPLORE SPACE

I want to see and visit big planet sized civilizations and shit. I want to visit the gek home world and chill out or at least visit a location where more npc's congregate. While the game is limited in what you can do now the possibilities are endless. My mind is brimming with ideas. I hope HG get some nice cash from this and beef up the team they got and just go hog wild with additions.

That's exactly what it is. Kill one and scan it.
Here's some screens of my "end game" gear. Tho I still have yet to find a single omega upgrade. AT-ST's are dead because I got super bored on an extreme radiation planet waiting for the extreme survival milestones so I could continue on my Atlas path.
Dunno if it's a bug or intended but after killing one of those big guys you are permanently on 5 star alert and it wont shake unless you reload or leave the planet. Inventory is generally pretty empty now unless I am farming toward an upgrade. Also my ship is trash 18 slot so it doesn't deserve a screenshot.

Dude I really hope this happens. There's so much possibility. Discovering ancient ruins for those big stone things is super exciting I just wish there was more. That's what I was saying the other day, I can see this game becoming hugely popular over time if they add content like that.

About the extreme survival milestone... the final one requires you to be on an extreme planet for 9 hours without leaving; they aren't cumulative. You can AFK inside of a building for shelter but you'll still occasionally have to recharge your life support. With all 3 modules mine lasts over an hour in a building.

Just found a new level of Sentinel attack... Your wanted level doesn't go down after you kill a big walker because once you jump into space you get attacked by sentinel ships. If you make it through four waves... Sentinel freighter warps in. I was shooting at it, tried to maneuver a bit and it disappeared... no idea.

Something like that would add a whole lot of desirability to the game for me. Coming upon random ass (but somehow unique) civilizations at various points in their evolution in the unlimited universe would be fuckin amazing.
I truly hope they do continue to patch/add content and that wasn't hot air. I'll pick it up at the first sale either way.

Pretty much this. I've already gotten bored with it but I skipped the Atlas quest piece when I first booted up because I forced myself not to read any spoilers on it before playing. Just dicked around for a couple days getting a little built up and said fuck it lets see what this story line is all about.

Well, I found the planet I'm just going to stay on for a long while I think. There's tons of Emeril and Vortex Cubes just lying everywhere. It's not extreme, 19c all the time, zero life, limited Sentinels and a base I can sell at.
Found the mother lode, just going to farm farm farm.

I made it to the core of the universe, took me 1500 jumps roughly. Man, that was the biggest waste of time in my whole gaming career, no exaggeration. Really disappointed. However the 60 USD were well spent, I took 100s of wallpaper league screenshots.

Because nothing fucking happens. This game has literally no purpose.
Imagine if the ending to Terraria was closing your game, clicking 'new world' and making a new one.

Games have purpose? Infinite universe and you want an ending?
The game can be fleshed out for sure but putting in an ending would be so arbitrary. I would like to see more populated planets or at least small villages with more aliens. Maybe a more robust "quest" system to keep people directed, since a good majority need something to guide them.
I am enjoying it for what it is so far. The exploration is fantastic. I'm in a 6 planet system which makes for some awesome screenshots. I've only been able to play for an hour or 2 at a time but what I like doing is "getting lost" on a planet. I dump all my goods at the space station, land on a planet and just roam on foot. Once I get to an outpost with a thing to summon my ship, I do it and go sell off again.
1 creature away from being 100% on a 15 creature planet, at 100% the reward is 375K. Pretty nice!
