Question About Scanning Animals
Hey gang, kind of a weird one.
I'm a weirdo and I cannot leave a planet until I have scanned all the animals to claim the nanite bonus
Usually there is one animal (underwater, underground) that takes a bit longer to find. No biggie.
However, a couple of days ago, I was on a planet scanning away as usual. I take a while to find the final animal. I want to emphasize I am 100% sure I only needed one animal to complete the planet bc I had triple checked on this.
Anyway, I find the last animal (a mainly diurnal flying uncommon), scan it, all good. Then I see some buried tech close by so I go over there. Then I find a few other resource deposits etc.
Finally I get around to uploading the last animal discovery, but it hasn't registered, as in my discovery page says I still haven't found the last animal. No worries I think, I'll simply find and scan another of the flying guys. Except now it's like they are GONE. I spent hours looking. Finally I give up and go to another planet for some resources etc.
I get to that planet. There are 6 animals I need to scan. I find 5 of them almost immediately. Last one remaining is an uncommon mainly diurnal flyer. I again spend hours but to no avail. I'm stumped. I feel like this is a bug but I have no way of knowing.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so how did you resolve it?
For reference, I restarted the game, restarted my ps5.
