I have never found one either.
But ONE DAY.... Unless I die first.
It's a vast galaxy, for beings our tiny size. [yesnod]

Aint NEVER found a Geyser.

Just randomly coming across them without looking for it is probably not gonna happen, for that there are too few on any planet. But if you activly look for it I don't find it too difficult, when you find the right planet to go look chances are not too bad. Have found 15 or so myself.

Shouldn't some of these geysers actually be shooting up into space too, rather than just being little squirts out the ground?
Just go to Sol...
It makes sense as ED really LACK of exploration input information. I do not have 8-10 hours to waste in my life waiting for a POI to be visible 1,5 km away on a whole planet.
ED brings content but not any enough scanners to find them. Quite strange isn't it ?
Of course it is. Once you find it, why would you keep looking?
"Anybody seen my keys? Oh, here there are. Still looking..."
Me neither - visited lots found by others, but every time I drop down to a planet which should have something, I find nothing.
<insert tired rant about lack of exploration tools>
Take care with passenger missions and lava fumaroles, now they apply area of effect damage and heat, your passengers might not be really happy about it
One of the problems is FD treats most of the game features as Easter Egg hunts for 2 year olds instead of giving the older wiser player an actual intellectual process to find the egg. Then the bubble limits the possibility of seeing what's outside the egg. Making what we have FDs only possibility until they can think of something else. Hoping they have found that something else, it's desperately needed.
I've never found one either - I wonder if it's GFX related - better GFX card = easier to see (2gb 960).
I dedicated a full weekend (about 14 hours, major commitment) to finding geysers. I picked the smallest world I could find ~ 480 km with Major geyser activity. I then proceeded to fly all of the canyons at an altitude of ~ 20 km, and you have to look for a tiny pin- of light on the scanner (it looks like artifact at the peripheral of the scan display).
It takes a really long time, unless you're lucky. Good luck.

I thought this as well but I was able to spot ones in tourist locations from a far. Today I leaned that its most likely the fact that they spawn 3-4 sites per planet so... that the issue I think
Need to find tiniest moon possible and look there.
This is what I was gonna say. I've found a few out in the galaxy, not easily I will admit. I've spent several hours looking on planets for them, which I get some people don't want to be doing that but as the above, planets are huge
You can spot them from a fair distance so you'll know when you've got one. I've found most in canyons, they are elsewhere but for me this is where I've found them. Found a few in craters as well, like really small ones.

By definition. Because why would you keep looking after you've found it!
Don't quit your search, I was searching with no luck for geysers and such since they're launched, fortunately until yesterday. I found my first geyser, actually a whole lot of them, it was in an ice moon, I landed in an edge of a canyon (completely by chance) and I saw some "plumes" in the deeps of this canyon (very far away). I took my SRV and found a bunch of water jets, a very nice view if you ask me.

Never ran across any randomly, but I did find some when I was deliberately searching for them.
During DSE a few months ago we were tasked to spend time looking for surface features.
I spent dozens of hours searching many different planets and I found three locations on two planets.
I found silicate vapour geysers in two different locations on NGC 2682 MCA 42 AB 1 c a, and water geysers on NGC 2682 MCA 42 CDE 2 a.

More often than not though, I didn't find any when I was deliberately searching for them.
These videos will give you a good idea of what they look like from a distance when searching from the air.
They do show up as a very small blue dot on the radar, if you're above 2KM of course and you can clearly see them from that height.

It's especially galling since the DSS can tell that there are geysers/magma/whatever, but then won't give you so much as a tiny clue as to where they may be
Agreed... I even started a thread on the Suggestion forum.
Still waiting...
