Surface Features - Barnacles/Unknown Structures/Crashed Ships etc...

Am I doing something wrong

This is what I see in the Thargoid link room

Screenshot_1651.png


The Swirling things descend but no thargoid link visually or on my contacts panel, nor can I target or collect anything

Site is the Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55 so active and once I have obtained the link from Before
 
Pleiades Sector HM-V c2-10
A new Barnacle system located earlier on. Noted the system as a candidate, was hyperdicted and headbutted by a thargoid after attempting to leave system, Had to be a reason, so i came back to find barnacles there.

BC 1 -25.3837 / -117.0822
BC 1 0.9716 / -112.3221

Think i may investigate other systems that have been reported as hyperdiction systems, just an idea, could be hints that thargoid related things in system,
I've had hyperdictions when leaving other barnacle systems, and other Unknown structure systems..

Do hyperdictions show in Journal?

Yes, you can detect them from journals - the tool in the alien interactions thread automates this. I think it uses the fact you end up with two consecutive jumps between the same systems in the logs to detect them.

My eyesight is bad enough already, can you please use normal text colour?

You mean the Thargoid data gathering thread I think :)

Lol, I hadn't noticed there was text in that post! I thought it was odd ;)
 
Question I haven't been able to find an answer to yet: how was the barnacle forest found? Was there a clue leading to the planet, or did people just exhaustively scour the system the Gnosis was jumping to?

There was a bug that all system barnacvles wouild show on sensors pr something i think.

Something like activating the thargoid device, or maybe an uplink, at the surface site on a different planet in the system revealed the barnie forest location.

Correct.

Scanning "Thargoid Uplink Device" at Unknown Structures is what makes them appear on your scanner permanently. Similarly, scanning a barnacle makes them appear permanently (in both cases, when within 1,000Ls). There was a bug where scanning one thing put everything in the system on your scanner. This led to the discovery of the first barnie forest, and a whole load more barnacles in systems where barnies were already found.
 
The list of known barnacle systems has grown once again.

Pleiades Sector XE-Q b5-2 C 3
lat -26.4788 // long 3.4345

This system has three small planets with a known good temperature. Thanks to the POI glitch discussed above we know (more or less) that all viable planets in a barnacle system feature barnacles.

Small planets are relatively easy to scout; so if you think about venturing into the barnacle hunting business this system is a good place to start. :cool:

Two planets have iron resp silicate magma volcanism. Their surface temperature is 503K resp 431K. IIRC this is too hot for bark mounds or space pumpkins, correct?

New system :) nice , will take a look there shortly.
Pumpkins, not enough info to know, but the Bark mounds it is possible. Cant remember if we had a full temp range for their possibility , 200k minimum , not sure on a max temp but 431k might be viable. I'll poke around there see if can find anything.

I've been informed Cmdr Robbie Junior has already scoured the system finding many, they should be on the metasheet sooner or later.

Currently investigating Pleiades sector VK-N B7-0, a known US system, B1 and B2 could be barnacle viable. Scouring to find one to confirm

Yeh, I found the XE-Q system\barnacles some time ago but didnt enter it on the sheet because I didnt screenshot most and got the forest shortly after so forgot. Its all on the sheet now.

Was on VK-N B7-0 but no luck so far. If there are any, then probably in low numbers.
 
Alas yes, shame we can't do much research in a srv yet
FD, we need an AEGIS AX Srv, xenoscanner on board. :)
to learn more about about thargoid surface mysterious stuff

Seconded this - 100%. A CG to build a new type of "Science " SRV would be awesome (obviously loaded with AX weapons too, because Science).

Or better yet - let us get out and walk around with hand scanners, collecting samples and the like (preferably via a method other than shooting something off it) :)
