Good evening fellow travellers, I know everyone has been trying to find portals lately due to the incoming update :wink: so I've been working out how to find these things without just stumbling across them :wink: so I've noticed when you scan, when in your ship just above the terrain the noise it makes is a fizzing noise let's say, now sometimes at the end of the fizzle you get a ping or chirp? Just like sonar! now not everything pings or chirps it just fizzles and shows the :question: waypoint, now the the things that ping or chirp are unscanable objects that are linked to the portals, what you need to do is fly about 100 K speed and keep pressing scan everytime your scanner recharges, and listen to the noises it makes, preferably turning of the music which makes it easier to hear. So if it just fizzles ignore, if it pings or chirps fly towards that one,and so on, now eventually this path will lead you to the vicinity of a portal, If the planet has one! , water planets forget and barren also, the more on the ground the better, and also I don't think every planet in a system has them . now the notification of there vicinity, if you don't spot them first will be audible, the sound it makes is a couple of woosh noises and a series of pings, like in the following video at the 25sec mark, so just go into photo mode and scan the area and see the portal :grinning: also if your searching for over 20mins move on, usually the portals are on the main planet in the system, which is usually the first one you see when arriving in from warp or blackhole, my home planet I've found 5 which all follow the same ring around the planet, so once you have found one it's easier to find more :wink: good hunting peeps :grinning:
