A commander shared on the Elite Dangerous community forum their difficulty locating tenuous atmosphere High Metal Content (HMC) planets with Stratum Tectonica signatures near the Colonia region. After six hours of searching, only five such planets were found, with just one exhibiting the sought-after exobiological feature. The player contrasted this with other galactic areas where these valuable finds appear more frequently, suggesting a regional scarcity or the need for improved scanning methods. This highlights ongoing challenges for explorers focusing on exobiology and planetary resource gathering in this sector.

  • Six hours spent searching near Colonia yielded only one Stratum Tectonica find.
  • Other regions reportedly have higher concentrations of these exobiological signatures.
