Is there an easier/quicker way to fully explore a planet for 100% completion?
I have 3 planets who are for 90% complete but even after hours of looking for that final species it seems impossible to find and it's driving me mad...
- Does anyone know if some animals only appear during the night?
- Is there perhaps an easier way of exploring a planet completely? It seems such a time-sink now looking for that final species...

Since patch 1.07 this no longer is possible. Planets without animals no longer have the 100% completion box and therefore no option to upload it.

I spent a lot of time on my starting planet and the first I visited after that. Only to find out right afterwards that some planets do not have any species and you immediately can upload the 100% completion to update your milestones. From my experience these usually are moons.
Of course this does not give any Units for reward. But making money is much easier by farming resources anyway.
To upload the 100% completion and get the Journey Milestone updated, you need to hover the pointer over the box which shows "100%" and press ? (on PS4), not ?. That's the same when you want to upload the 100% for a planet which has species. You do not get the Units rewards automatically just by discovering all the ????? entries.

How do you fully explore a planet NMS?
The only effective way to map an entire planet would be to walk it. The ship scanner is unreliable to pick up every building/waypoint. You might start at one of the planet poles and you would need to circumnavigate the planet.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
