After update 1.03 , to get this trophy you need to find and scan all the creatures on one planet. To scan a creature you need to have an analyzer on the tool, then press and point it at the creature. Small creatures can only be scanned if you zoom in . Flying creatures can only be scanned after you knock them down to the ground. This is easiest to do on small moons where there are few creatures. After you find all the creatures on the planet, you need to go to finds, hover the cursor over the rectangle that says 100% completion, and hold down . In a few seconds the data will be sent, and you will receive a large number of units and this trophy.

Before the release of update 1.03 , it was enough to simply find, scan and upload one creature to the “cloud”. Therefore, if you want to significantly simplify getting platinum. Then after receiving all other trophies, reinstall the game without installing the update. This is only relevant for the disc version; the digital version will install the update along with the game.

There appears to be a bug in update 1.03 that allows you to get this and other trophies in the series relatively quickly. Planets with zero (0) animals on them can be turned in as planets with all animals found, and they count towards this trophy. So look for a moon or a planet where there are no animals and hand it over.

When you find all the animals on the planet (it’s easier to do it on the moon - they are smaller and there are not so many animals there), load them on top, a bar will light up for complete completion of the plant - click on it, you will get a lot of nanites and a trophy.

To scan flying creatures, you DO NOT need to knock them down to the ground (let them fly, what ). Just wait a bit for the scanner to capture them, and then wait for the full scan to complete.

The trophy is quite easy. We find a planet with a small amount of fauna so that we don’t have to look for living creatures for a long time. Scan. Press option, go to discoveries-fauna and see that 6/6 have been collected as an example. At the top above the living creatures it says “LOAD AND GET NANITES (), poke there and get a trophy

After the introduction of community events (Update 1.60 and higher), it is possible to obtain the achievement simply by flying into the system through the portal to which Polo leads. As a rule, in systems where events take place, all creatures are already open, all you have to do is go to the menu and click on the “foot” in the upper right corner.
