So: Neon and Paradiso excepted, has anyone seen any oceans or rivers in the game as yet?

Someone on Reddit recently posted a pic with their character standing at the side of a river, and the general suggestion was that anyone who hadn't seen a river hadn't looked carefully enough.

Accordingly, I went looking. I found a temperate planet with oceans visible from orbit ("YOU CAN'T LAND HERE"), set down on what looked like it should have been beach, and then headed north towards where the ocean should have been.

I eventually ended up standing on a mountain in what ought to have been the sea, looking across a dry valley towards another mountain, not a drop of liquid in sight!

So either I'm reading the maps wrong (entirely possible btw) or the planet generation is on the fritz in my game (can't rule it out) or the Reddit post was spoofed.

So: has anyone found any oceans or rivers? I'll post screenshots and maps when I get back to my gaming box tonight.

I've seen planets with oceans I cannot land on, but even landing on what appears to be a shore line, there is no water in sight and I can walk out to where there should be water and it's just barren wasteland. The resource map is also wonky as fuck. Like land in a huge patch of Iron, but then it ends up being Chlorine or some shit. Makes the map utterly worthless. Though perhaps that requires deeper skill levels.

Found some last night. I made sure the biome said "shore" from orbit and even then I had to walk a bit, but I found the ocean.

Then I nearly got eaten alive by bacteria when I went paddling. I'll build my beach house somewhere else, I think :)
