I have just started and look forward to reading your experiences.

Have fun all.

Here where you can find a creature for the Hot Blooded Milestone:
Planetary Address

#
It is the planet Myon XV in the Awarri-Ivnok System. It is a Hello Games system.
Creature to look out for
- Thanks, done!

I am loving the help here and all the discussion.

If anyone else is still missing the tall herbivore, there is one on Efkad, planet of the Sivikmiyn I system (it's a rendezvous system, so you had to pass through it).
You're looking for a big gray insect creature with hairy legs and a thorax/head a bit like a mantis. It's rare, lives on ground, and is always active.

Finding a creature with a pH lower than 2.5 is extremely challenging. Did anyone find one?
Edit: Grammar
- Found one! It was the first creature I scanned on this planet which is on the expedition path. Here are two imgur pics, one with the portal coords, one with the creature that got me the achievement.

  Nice. Now we must just hold off scanning this one until this bug is fixed.
  
  I saw that the issue has been fixed so I just travelled here. I hadn't been here before so scanned this creature as a new discovery. I now finally have the achievement, thanks!
  
  I just went there and strangely enough the achievement didn't trigger. I had that planet on my list of scanned planets already, though.
- After doing some searching around it seems that unfortunately the ph level milestone is bugged.
  The milestone and wonders page is actually tracking the highest ph instead of the lowest ph. I can confirm this with my own experience, my lowest ph was 3.6, I scanned another animal and got a message saying new record low but the ph level went UP to 4.2. I then scanned another animal and got the message again saying new record low and the ph level went up again to 4.3.
  The only way to get this milestone done at the moment is to make sure that the very first animal you scan on a toxic planet has a ph below 2.5, otherwise you’re screwed. Hopefully they’ll patch this at some point.
  I’ve seen ppl encountering this bug on xbox, PlayStation and PC, don’t know about switch but I would assume they have the bug too. Apparently if you’re on PC you can use a save editor to reset the wonder and then go to a planet where you know there is an animal with a ph below 2.5 and scan it first. Not tried that myself as I’m on Xbox.
  
  I noticed that too. The first animal I scanned was 2.7 and it's only recorded higher values from there.
  This Expedition has been kind of annoying and the rewards aren't even that good. 🤷‍♂️
  
  Thanks. I am affected. Need to wait for the fix.
  Some of these values I don't see anywhere in the HUD when scanning. Where is the pH level? Or the aggression level? Or the horology ratio of planets?
- No. That and finding a hostile planet are the only 2 things I have left to do. I’ve visited dozens and dozens of systems.
  Let me know if you find either of those.
  
  Found a hostile planet which qualifies:
  
  Eissentam galaxy, of course.
  Also, be careful. It has aggressive sentinels waiting at every corner. So best to land, get out of the ship, feel extremely hot and get back into the cosy ship. Leave and hope no one saw that.
  
  Will do. If anyone finds these ones, post a planetary address, please. Can't promise I'll use it, but I don't want to fail this expedition. So maybe. 😄
  Am looking primarily in green systems. There's a toxic planet in almost all of them.
  Edit: Found a hostile planet

Here a message from the NMS Discord:
the 'wonders' entry only updates with higher values, and the milestone wants 2.5 or lower, so if you scanned any creature with ph above 2.5 it will not be possible to complete at this time
- Not sure I understand. Does it only count the first creature you scan on a planet? Or the first creature you scan at all?
  I guess in both cases I'll wait for a fix, even if you get one chance per planet I don't like these odds.
  
  It counts any creature you scan. I can say that with confidence, because I must have scanned 6 Million of them.

Here where you can find a creature for the Hunter/Killer Milestone:
Planetary Address

It is the planet Aieus S3 in the Oishida System. It is a Hello Games system.
Nice: on that planet I also found a creature that gave me a wonder for "Largest Auqatic Lifeform" and an aggressive plant for "Longest Lived".
The creature you want
**
- Thanks very much, just picked this one up!

The bug is fixed in the latest patch!

The Ph Blood bug is fixed! Not only that, but you have already scanned a creature that qualified, just reenter the atmosphere of the planet where you scanned it, and the expedition will update and complete, even without landing. Can confirm this works on PS4.

I didn't realize it had been released. I'll have to start it when I get home.
Honestly, the rewards don't look that great, but that's mostly because the new content in the Echoes update was so good.
- Strongly recommend waiting for 4.44 before bothering. It is ridiculously crashy.

Right now I'm just trying to finish the Expedition so I can get back to Starfield. 😅
