Today we find ourselves on Ookehama Omega, a giant frozen anomaly at the core of Wepaitvas, the 179th galaxy. The topography here is insane, and there is a lot of it. The surface is riddled with huge burrows that leave wonderful outcrops and so many caves and secret places I just wanted to "go over there and stand". It is a giant planet, classed as frozen anomaly, but nothing is frozen, and the storms here are 322°F walls of flame with the occasional fire tornado. This is the 17th Mega Exotic biome we have visited; Only two more to go. I loved this one so much I actually furnished the base here with more than a landing pad and teleporter.

14 species of fauna call Ookehama Omega their home, 9 of which are tameable. The tiniest critter I have seen can be found here. All of the fauna are anomalous, except for one.

The system is another undiscovered / abandoned system, so no monoliths, space station, atlantid weapons, inhabited structures, crashed sentinel ships, etc. There is a C-class freighter tech upgrade from the derelict freighter and a Combat living frigate.

Today we find ourselves on Hamarazu, a Hexagonal planet at the core of Wongquarum, the 176th galaxy. Hexagonal is the third and final type in the Hexagon group of the Exotic biome, along with Plated and Scaly. You can collect hexplate bushes to decorate your base here.

After 32 glass cuboid extraction sites in a row, I really needed to flex and build a decent base. I really leaned into the planet's hex aesthetic, and built myself a citadel. I am proud of what I got done in about 6 hours.

The moon itself is very small, and features a single untameable species of Hexalete fauna. I have noticed since the Xeno Arena update, these fauna are not rendering properly.

The system is another abandoned or undiscovered system. This means no space station, monoliths, atlantid weapons, crashed sentinel ships, etc. The only things you can find are a B-class freighter tech upgrade from the derelict freighter and an Exploration type living frigate.

Normally to find the planetary portal, I use an exocraft to find a monolith, and then use the monolith to find the portal. In abandoned or uncharted systems, I take a screenshot on the planet's surface to note the glyphs, then fly to a neighboring inhabited system and teleport back to the original planet. The neighboring system I warped to this time contained a desert planet that was mostly water with a glitched portal. I include the coordinates of this oddity in the post as well.

All of this only to discover that this moon doesn't even have a planetary portal. If you use the portal coordinates, you will just spawn at a clearing. This is where I decided to build my citadel.

Here's a few proto-gek from my recent travels. Unfortunately, none of them are SSS, but I still love 'em all.
