Easy way to find Frost Crystal or Frostwort

Getting 100% completion on a planet is difficult. Throw a water planet in the mix, or a low fauna planet, and it becomes that much more difficult. From my playing experience, there are some things to keep in mind;

• Certain species do indeed only come out at night. On one planet, as soon as nighttime hit, I started noticing these weird pulsating plant things. They looked like that one Windows 2000/XP screensaver with the morphing spikeball.

• Creatures may be really, really tiny! Ranging from babies of certain species, to actual floating garden-weed looking things, species can be small. Keep your eyes peeled, and your Analysis Visor up.

• Aquatic and Flying creatures are easy to miss, as greg-449 pointed out. They can be tiny or large. For water-based species though, they tend to be large and easy to spot, or they stick in packs. They can easily be seen by using the Analysis Visor and looking for a pack of red dots. This indicates that you haven't scanned them yet, but I'll get to that later.

• For Flying creatures, don't be afraid to shoot them down. If you can find the body, you can still Analyze it.

• Use the Analysis Visor whenever you feel the time is right. This will tell you from a distance whether or not you have scanned a creature already. If you have, they will have a green dot on them. If you haven't, the dot will be red. As far as I can tell, using the Analysis Visor and scanning your surrounding area will also show white dots in the distance, indicating that animals are nearby. I play on PS4 on a 32 inch screen, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell what color the far away dot is, and it doesn't stick around forever. It is enough to point you in the right direction of potentially unscanned species, however.

Since the 1.3 Atlas Rising update, your home world is now marked in the Discoveries menu.

You can set a waypoint on the system and filter for custom waypoints in the galaxy map, if you want to plot a warp jump course home.
