GryphnnThere should be an option to pull out your SRV and get some canisters of fuel at Surface settlements, just drive for potentially 300kmOr shoot some rocks, collect smaller rocks and squeeze a bit of space gas out of them!

QuillmonkeyTo my knowledge, Horizons has only a handful of bio species
My previous experience with bio tells that there is only one bio specie per system in EDH but I never before came across of so many bio planets/sites in the same system, so I am wondering if there is an exception from the above observation though I don't want to waste my time visiting 20 planets to prove it. So I would be nice to know if the exception is possible and it was observed by commanders like you with Elite V rank for exploration while having just 2 stars for it.

That's not the case with ED:O exobiology. With ED:O the limitation is a maximum 1 of each genus/planet. If you have a system with 20 planets and every one contains life signs, then it is possible to scan a Bacterium and a Tussock on each planet in that system. You would get rewards for all 40 scans in that case. However, the likelihood that the life you find on those 20 planets is worth scanning is low. The only planet conditions I bothered investigating near the end of my Exobiology career were Thin Water, Sulfur Dioxide, and Oxygen atmospheres with a temperature range between 150K and 350K. CO2 and NH3 atmospheres are tempting due to their high number of possible genus' but their scan value means you're working hard, not smart.
Once you've 'oohed and ahhed' at the amaz0rs exobiology content enough you'll get to the point you just want to get it over with. At this point (and really as soon as you get close/begin) you want to consult Canonn's website etc... and look at the Flora value and environment preferences to figure out WHAT is worth the time to scan, and WHERE you're likely to find it.

My question was specifically addressed to Horizons players with extensive exploration experience not about Odyssey flowers, bacteria and etc. Though thank you for the hints about atmospheres and temp. ranges, they might help.

Ahh, well your appeal to Elite V distracted me
There's definitely more than one species per system though. I have seen Horizons flora 3 same genus, but 3 separate species on 1 planet before.
Edit: in fact, it was a source of great consternation during the initial release of ED:O because people were arguing there's more than 1 of a species per planet for ED:O exobiology and multiple species/planet is afaik only a thing for ED:H.

I'm guessing PvE might be the best place to learn the basics...

It was not the appeal but rather the abstract question to cmdr: Quillmonkey where and how he got his Elite V exploration rank with just 2/2 (travel/exploration) stars when my rank is just Elite for 2/3 star respectively. It looks like Odyssey is rewarding much higher that Horizons.

Exploration stars are rewarded for the number of system visited and scanned, they are like siamese conjoined twins, you could not move higher without both.
