This is no easy task, as Jemison fosters a bountiful biodiversity-rich ecosystem. Although surveying Jemison is a tall order, it’s a mission that would make even David Attenborough proud; it’s well worth it as you’ll be able to sell the Jemison Survey Slate for a sizable stack of credits.
How To 100 Percent Survey Jemison
To complete the planet survey of Jemison, you’ll need to scanall types of flora, fauna,and resources and discover Jemison’s Planetary Traits; this includes:
As you may see, you’ve got a lot to do. However, you can quickly complete the Jemison Survey if you know how to scan these items optimally. Resources are the easiest items to scan since you only need to scan them once.

Mining or harvesting the resourcewill automatically scan it.
Since the progress of surveying planets is limited to a basic checklist, you won’t be able to see what items you’ve surveyed; however,surveyed flora, fauna, or resources will be highlighted green, while ablue outline represents the item that can be scanned, and if you find a blue highlighted alien creature or plant, then you have already scanned it.

Every time you scan a plant or creature in Starfield, you’ll reveal useful information such as the resource it provides, the temperament of the creature, its strengths and weaknesses, and most importantly, the biome that it lives in. You can survey Jemision quickly if you’re looking for the critters in the right place.
Once you’ve completed the Jemison Planet Survey, youtravel to the Eye, a space station orbiting Jemison, to sell thePlanet Survey Datato Vladimir.

Biomes Of Jemison
Jemison features four types of biomes that you can explore:
You’ll find the majority of flora and fauna in theDeciduous Forest. However, the dense forests and bushes can make locating scannable flora and fauna difficult. TheFrozen Mountainsare an excellent biome to survey flora and fauna.
Once you’ve scanned every possible flora, fauna, or resource in a biome, you’ll see’Biome Complete’on each scannable category, showing that you need to travel to a new biome.

Jemison Survey Checklist: Resources
Mining or harvesting a resource will count as a scan to the planet survey.
You’ll only need to findfive inorganic resourceson Jemison to complete the survey:
Finding Jemison’s resources is easy since you may use theStar Map to scan the planet for resources. Bear in mind thatArgon and Chlorine are gas resources, meaning you’ll need to findgas vents to scan them. Moreover,Water and Chlorosilanescan be found inabundance on the planet in the form of springs.
You must mine ice in the Frozen Mountains Biome to harvest Water. Ice appears on rocks just like Lead and other inorganic materials.
How To Discover Jemison’s Planetary Traits
Jemison features three Planetary Traits:
To discoverPlanetary Traits, you must seek out the Unknown areas that get marked on your scanner while exploring Jemison.
Once you’ve reached the location, you must search for scannable objects. In the case of the Ecological Consortium, you’ll need to find peculiar spiky columns.
While these Planetary Trait locations don’t offer anything of value other than data for the planet survey,Dung Piles and Rock Piles containing valuable lootcan often be found in these areas, as strange as it sounds!
To discover the Planetary Traits quickly, travel to a new landing zone. This typically spawns new Unknown locations.
