As you discover different planets, you’ll notice they have different Planetary Traits. Find them all, and you’ll earn 100% survey completion status.
To learn what Planetary Traits a world has, you need to scan it before you land or scan different geological features once you’re on the ground. You can also sell your survey data for profit. This guide will teach you how to find all Planetary Traits in Starfield.
How to discover all Planetary Traits
