Guys, I found a forest of Brain-Trees!

tea_rex · Dec 6, 2017

Hey there commanders!

I've found this huge forest of 'Brain Trees' whilst exploring, and I don't think anyone has found so many in one spot as this. Its also very close to the bubble, at less than 800 light years.

I couldn't find another thread where we collate data on these (I found one for geysers and volcanism, but assumed Plant Life would be different) so I've posted it here.

SYSTEM NAME: Col 173 Sector RU-O b22-2

PLANET: B, 4, A

CO-ORDINATES: 35.2738, 132.5471

Planet info:

Forest location on map.

Please let me know if there is somewhere specific I can post this information

Last graphic was confusing since it didn't have coordinates included.

Yeah, I was sadly in a bit of a rush when I found this place and forgot to take some more screenshots. Thankfully I'd written down the co-ords.

Neat! Brain trees can be reported to canonn on https://goo.gl/UR1TZU, and madraptor also collects them https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...Fumarole-Location-Catalog-and-Data-Collection

Edit: madraptor has submission details in the first post, and the thread itself is also a good place to post finds, usually loads of BT in there

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for

Thanks tea_rex, on my way..

Now that's intresting. Weren't they found in Systems containing Guardian Ruins? Maybe you've discovered a new Guardians bubble

Brain Three sites vary in size a bit, but they tend to be around 1 square kilometer in size, so roughly 1 km on each side. I can't tell from your screenshot if the site you've reported is significantly bigger than others. How long would you say the site is, from one end to another?

And btw, this site is probably part of the "field" of Brain Tree systems in the Col 173 area, which extends for about 1000 Ly in each direction. I don't think this is part of a new guardian bubble.

Looks huge to me, I've never seen comparisons to others, relativity doesn't really matter, OP's still excited to have discovered it. Well done, OP, have some rep.

TopCat160 · Dec 6, 2017

Haven't been to see one of these yet, I shall go and visit, since, as you say, it's quite close to the bubble.

Is there anything to do once you get there?

two quiet suns · Dec 6, 2017

You can shoot them for mats!

Indeed, it's very exciting, and I do not want to detract from that!

However, relativity does matter. Since he said "I don't think anyone has found so many in one spot as this" we could be looking at something new, which would be even more exciting.

im at the site.
Sure, its about 1.3 x 1.5 km. but the thing is the density of the mat spawns. Incredible.

Polonium and merc are the good stuff.

Kind of hard to spot this site with current time of day.. no shadows (switched to ULTRA SHADOWS.. that's better[money])
Even from 3 km altitude I was wondering where it is.
Nice find!

You guys may find this study of interest:

https://canonn.science/codex/a-study-on-the-brain-trees/

It's something I did a while back to understand the statistics of Brain Tree materials. Brain Trees are awesome for gathering very rare mats, such as Polonium. Each site will have 4-5 Phloem Excretions that give those very rare mats.

I also went back this morning to check size and I agree, about 1.3 x 1.5km sounds about right.

I might have jumped the gun with saying it might be the biggest field out there, but crikey if it isn't dense.

Hi tea_rex, well done, although I see at least one more splash crater there that needs a look at, bottom right hand corner, I generally find if there's one splash crater with brain trees there's a good chance they will be found in the others.

Welp, I'm a good distance from there now xD

I will have to check it out on my way back home to the bubble next week
