After doing some searching around it seems that unfortunately the ph level milestone is bugged.
The milestone and wonders page is actually tracking the highest ph instead of the lowest ph. I can confirm this with my own experience, my lowest ph was 3.6, I scanned another animal and got a message saying new record low but the ph level went UP to 4.2. I then scanned another animal and got the message again saying new record low and the ph level went up again to 4.3.
The only way to get this milestone done at the moment is to make sure that the very first animal you scan on a toxic planet has a ph below 2.5, otherwise you’re screwed. Hopefully they’ll patch this at some point.
I’ve seen ppl encountering this bug on xbox, PlayStation and PC, don’t know about switch but I would assume they have the bug too. Apparently if you’re on PC you can use a save editor to reset the wonder and then go to a planet where you know there is an animal with a ph below 2.5 and scan it first. Not tried that myself as I’m on Xbox.

I noticed that too. The first animal I scanned was 2.7 and it’s only recorded higher values from there.
This Expedition has been kind of annoying and the rewards aren’t even that good. 🤷♂️
Done with the expedition. Except the pH one.
Waiting for a fix now. The upcoming patch doesn’t seem to have it yet.
I need to do the pH, black hole, and hostile planet, and then I’m done.
Latest patch:
🥳 On to acidic adventures!
Thanks. I am affected. Need to wait for the fix.
Some of these values I don’t see anywhere in the HUD when scanning. Where is the pH level? Or the aggression level? Or the horology ratio of planets?
It’s not in the analysis visor info. You can only see these values if it’s a record, then it gets recorded to the wonders section in the pause menu.
Also, if you select the milestone as your current mission it will show you your current record in the bottom right of the HUD.
That’s a shame. Wish we had more info. Clearly the game has more info about each item in the game than it shows us.
