WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Mapped biological regions on landable Odyssey planets; turn in completed data at Vista Genomics.
Biological signals shown by system and planetary scans point to possible exobiology targets, but the sellable product is a complete sample set collected with the Artemis Genetic Sampler. The DSS map helps identify where biological regions lie; on the surface, each species requires samples with enough genetic diversity. Finish one species before switching to another, then take completed records to Vista Genomics. First-log status may affect value, but it is not guaranteed, so treat the cartographic state as a check rather than a promise. This guide is for Odyssey on PC Live.
Odyssey access and an Artemis suit with Genetic Sampler.
A ship with Discovery Scanner and Detailed Surface Scanner.
A landable body with biological signals.
A route back to Vista Genomics before carrying unsold data into danger.
Use the Discovery Scanner and FSS to find bodies with biological signals.
Map a promising body with the DSS and inspect its biology regions.
Land near a region and locate a sampleable organism using the Artemis suit.
Collect the first sample and use the sampler's indicator to guide the next distinct sample location.
Travel until the species diversity requirement is met, then collect the remaining valid samples.
Confirm that the set is complete before changing to another species; repeat for additional signals.
Return to a concourse with Vista Genomics and sell the completed data.
Farming tips
Species colony ranges differ; let the sampler confirm whether a new sample is distinct enough.
A planet without a First Footfall tag may be a candidate for an unclaimed first landing, but it does not guarantee a first logged biology payout.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat for each uncompleted species on each suitable planet. A completed set is a limited collection for that species and location, not an infinite loop; seek another species or world for additional data.
Common mistakes
Taking samples from the same species too close together; move until the sampler accepts genetic diversity.
Switching species with an incomplete set; finish the required samples first.
Assuming first-log value from an empty footfall field; verify the live record and payout after sale.
When to stop or switch
Stop sampling a species once its set is complete. End the trip and sell when the value of the data or the risk of carrying it makes further landings unattractive.
