Abandoned Starfield Research Tower Provides Planet Survey Data, Underwater Life Often Missed

An abandoned research tower can provide all planetary survey data for the planet you're on. Find the computer inside to download it.
The research tower method provides at least the planet's trait, and sometimes more data. It's not a cheat, but a story-driven way to get info.
The computer is behind a locked door at the tower's top. Open it and the computer is on the left.
Check underwater for fauna - some players missed this even after 90+ hours.
Starfield has hit 6 million players, making it Bethesda's biggest game launch ever.
