Another issue with volcanics, you get there on a different day and they do not look anything like on the photo :)

OK, I get it, you do not want geysers anymore, so be it, I am switching to new things then:

POI name - Col 173 Sector IV-F b27-1 fungal trees
POI type: organics
Galmap ref: Col 173 Sector IV-F b27-1

Desc: Two sites with fungal trees or "brain trees" discovered by accident whilst looking for new locations of Ancient Ruins. Small 400km rocky body with volcanic activity, was not fully checked by the discoverer so there are possibly more sites an silicate vapour geysers to be found. Head to A 1 A -61.4610 // 26.6463 and 24.1381 // -65.5068

POI name - Col 173 Sector PU-D c13-12 fungal trees
POI type: organics
Galmap Ref: Col 173 Sector PU-D c13-12

Desc: Two sites located on B 2 A 48.0808 // 127.0176 and 13.5402 // 140.2993. Good view of it's parent HMC planet and Milky Way.

Indeed, that's why I'm still puzzled as to why they are included in the GMP, save for a handful of truly remarkable ones. *shrug*

Because people who use EDSM to navigate can just tick "geysers" and find a site close to them to visit? This is what maps are for :)

Indeed. But reading the guidelines, I'm just raising what looks to me like an inconsistency. Sure, planetary nebulae are, for the most part, perfectly anonymous and unremarkable within their category, but they fall within the galactic scale. Geysers and the such don't, and unless I'm mistaken (haven't followed any development on the topic), they are *all* the same. Not mentionning that there is a dedicated database of those. As for EDSM, it is not a GMP-exclusive frontend and can absolutely feed a surface POIs map with a dedicated Surface POIs database.

I don't wish to open any debate or something, just pointing out that to me, there is a grey spot here, something that doesn't follow the logic :) (and criteria like a nice screenshot of the geyser really seem to fall out of the guidelines)

You are indeed correct that there is a bit of inconsistency. But other types of POI can also be dependent upon a combination of multiple factors that determine if an entry makes it to the map.

New POI

Name: NGC 6565
POI type: Planetary Nebula
Galmap ref: CD-28 14266

Desc: Discovered by American astronomer Edward Pickering on July 14, 1884, this planetary nebula in Sagittarius constellation remained relatively obscure among cosmologists until 20th Century optics technology allowed for first detailed, fully-color images of its bright, eye-shaped gas cloud. Often drawing comparisons with the much larger Ring Nebula (Messier 57), NGC 6565's dying Wolf-Rayet star is still bright enough to be resolved by modern Frameshift Drive navigational computers. The star is orbited by a binary pair of Class V gas giants and two volcanic high metal content worlds.

Not Added:

For consideration - another bunch of POI submissions from the Sagittarius-Carina Mission:

CMDR: Pontifex Magnus
Date: June 20, 3303

Name: HR 6494
Type: Stellar Features
Galmap ref: HR 6494
Description: B-type star surrounded by 14 T Tauris in various configurations. Interspersed throughout are two high metal content worlds and a Class IV gas giant.

CMDR: Pontifex Magnus
Date: June 20, 3303

Name: Iuvenis Vetustus
Type: Stellar Features
Galmap ref: Smojue RS-U e2-7
Description: A very old Herbig Ae/Be protostar. At 184 million years, it seems to be the oldest on record. The system's primary star is an unremarkable main sequence Class B.
Image: http://imgur.com/a/4yD1x



CMDR: Manae
Date: July 29, 3303

Name: Titans' Rest
Type: Star Cluster / Regional Feature
Galmap ref: Scheau Bloo JZ-M d8-546
Description: A cluster of at least twenty giants, predominately Class M but includes Class S, MS, and O as well. Roughly centered around Scheau Bloo JZ-M d8-546 (Kronos), the radius of the cluster is roughly 65ly.

CMDR: Manae
Date: August 5, 3303

Name: Southern Fields of the Titans (Coreward gate)
Type: Star Cluster / Regional Feature
Galmap ref: Scheau Bloo JZ-M d8-546
Description: The second beacon of the gate.
What forces conspired to form this region may never be understood, but it is spectacular. A rough charting shows the field to start at around -1000 to the galactic plane and continue until -1400 as the stars thin out. Along with the normal numerous collection of neutron stars found at these latitudes, the field contains a countless number of supergiants--often with multiple giants only a few lightyears from another in the chain. Width is several hundred lightyears. Starting roughly around the gate beacons, the field stretches some 1400 ly--if not further. Initial charting suggests a mirroring Northern field starting around +1000 to the plain.

CMDR: Manae
Date: August 9, 3303

Name: The Doomed Siblings
Type: Planetary Feature
Galmap ref: Eord Blou LY-Z d13-2701
Description: Two small but comfortable paired ELWs orbit a Class K star, itself orbitting the paired system of another K and a Class M giant. Caught by the barycenter is a small, cold ammonia world. A rare combination of planets that, on a cosmic scale, will likely soon be erased by a supernova.

Thx for Baton's Orchard :)

I think there is way more fungal trees than we thought, I find them now on almost all suitable bodies in Col 173 sector, and they are very easy to find once you have the candidate. So I have identical problem with names as with geysers, will system name be OK? If you prefer names then I am OK with people naming them, my imagination is not suitable for this task.

How do you find them? What should we be looking for?

I was wondering if they were all in Col 173....

I only really started looking for them around Wednesday. My friend Cmdr Arnul described initial conditions on which bodies they exist and I am perfecting them now.
So far I am having 100% hit ratio in Col 173 sector. Every body within the parameters has fungal trees.
Now we need the community to step up and search other regions. It is incredibly easy and takes almost no time at all, unlike geysers, so anyone exploring could have a look in different regions. They are great sources of mats (better than geysers I think)
Q5gX9Cm.png


Conditions so far are:
If landable and volcanic and temperature between 200K and 490K and splash crater then fungal trees

We just need to apply it for other places - in Col 173 sector works every time. Arnul was finding them in Synuefe region, so it may be similar there. I have checked bodies above 800K with no luck, have not come across any landable volcanic body with temperature between 500K-799K, so I am looking for them today, see if I get lucky.
