I don’t recall the biome saying “coast”. Maybe I was unintentionally a couple of hundred miles inland or something.

I shall try again.

It can be pretty finicky, but it’s definitely possible.

It helps to zoom in when clicking potential landing zones.

I did a (boring) 100% planetary survey and one of the fauna I needed to scan were fish in the water close to the shore. I spent wayyy too much time running around looking for water until I realized there was always some within a couple hundred metres of the ship landing site (I assume it’s generated that way for that biome type).

When you’re landing on a Whatever (Coast), keep your eyes open to see what direction the water is when you come in. Otherwise it can be hard to see it from the ground if it’s a foggy world.

  If you look at the ground map when you land on a “coast” biome, you can see where all the elevation dots go flat. That will help direct you to the ocean if you can’t see it over the hills/fog.
