WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
FSS body results and DSS maps for landable Odyssey planets with biological signals.
Biology signal triage reduces wasted landings by combining system scan information with the DSS surface map. The FSS reveals which bodies have biological signals; the DSS then shows the regions to visit. Before descending, verify that the body is landable and that its signal count and surface regions justify a stop. This does not identify every organism or promise a valuable species. Once landed, use the Artemis Genetic Sampler and complete valid sample sets. The method is especially useful on longer exploration routes where each diversion and landing should advance a defined survey goal.
Ship with Discovery Scanner, FSS and Detailed Surface Scanner.
Artemis suit and Genetic Sampler for collecting biology.
A route with enough fuel and return options for the planned landings.
Scan the system on arrival with the Discovery Scanner.
Use the FSS to identify bodies and note those with biological signals.
Open the system map and discard bodies that are not landable or do not fit the current trip.
DSS-map the remaining candidates and inspect the number and placement of biological regions.
Choose a body whose regions are practical for your surface visit and set the location as a target.
Land near a mapped region and sample one species to completion before moving to another.
Record completed targets and continue only while the expected survey effort fits the trip; sell at Vista Genomics later.
Farming tips
The FSS signal count and DSS map are screening tools; neither guarantees a specific organism or payout.
Pick landing locations based on the mapped region and actual terrain, then adapt to what the suit scanner finds.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat for each system and candidate body. Triage is a reusable selection loop; biological sets themselves are limited to uncompleted species and locations. Bank collected records at Vista Genomics.
Common mistakes
Landing based only on a signal count; map the body first to locate regions.
Assuming every signal is a high-value organism; use actual sampled species and sale results.
Starting multiple incomplete species sets; complete one set at a time.
When to stop or switch
Stop scanning candidates when no remaining body advances the survey goal, or switch to another system rather than forcing an unsuitable landing.
