This update relates to an issue where the last few species take far longer to find than the majority of the early ones. This was because the sensor responsible for selecting a species to point the player towards would choose one at random with a nearly 50% chance that the species would be one the player hasn't encountered before. However, having seen a species without actually documenting it was marking it as discovered and therefore wasn't including it in the "prioritized" species list. This would result in an only 1 in 19 chance that that species would be marked by the disturbance sensor (the 20th species isn't ever marked by the sensor.) and therefore would take a long time to find it. Depending on luck with documenting each species the first time they appear, you may or may not have encountered the issue which could explain why this bug was thought to be fixed for the release build of the game. To fix the issue, the list now updates at the "Species Documented" point rather than at "Species Discovered". Apologies for the inconvenience.
