Bioengineering links what you find outside to what you can investigate in your base. Observe first, collect with a purpose, then use experiments to understand the properties you have found.
Scanning is the starting point
The Steam description explicitly connects scanning flora and fauna with learning about Sota7. Slow down around unfamiliar life and use the information the game gives you before deciding what to collect.
Gather with a question in mind
As a practical approach, keep your current research goal in mind when collecting. It makes a return trip more useful than gathering indiscriminately and forgetting what each sample was for.
Experiment, then compare
Keep inputs and results together in your notes. If you change several things at once, it becomes harder to tell which change mattered. This is a suggested research habit, not a claim about hidden game formulas.
