The increased pay for discovering all fauna on a planet is something that pulled me back into the game recently. I’m the kind of guy who explores and scans as much as he can on *every* planet of *every* system I come across (except for the systems I join from the Nexus) because I like it, and with 3 S class scanner upgrades, it’s always been my main way of making money in this game. And now, it’s also a legit way to get a ton of Nanites when getting all the fauna.

Thank you Hello Games.

I have two side notes regarding fauna though. First, I’m not exactly sure when they added that, but I never really noticed that some creatures were only found in north or south of a planet. It’s a nice touch I think. Second there are still creatures that are definitely not spawning as the discovery page says. I have a planet on my home system that just won’t spawn the last fauna… which would give me 2 250 nanites.
