First page of this thread Post #2 second Spoiler very first coordinates....that's where I got them from!
I give up, I've gone in and out of Solo/Open in both SRV & Ship for 30mins but cannot see the Barnacles at all. I see others in Open so I know I'm in the right spot, shame this is broken like it is when it's quite a major part of the game.
Did you try the one in the wiki?
They update the main page with the real useful info. Mostly.
I would discount this as an artefact of the game engine. In most game engines, particles - used for effects like we see from the UAs and Barnacles - emanate from a single point in an object, typically its origin. If, as seems reasonable, the origin of the "Barnacle" object is in the center of its base, to get the small amount of emission from the top the density of particles inside will need to be much higher. When making models for us as in-game asset you do whats necessary to make the fx work from where the camera is "supposed" to be and don;t worry too much about when its clipped into a place it "shouldn't" be.
nope no time now
hope for a bug fix next week, shame really that FD have screwed this up but it happens....too much sometimes though!nope no time now
You could have a moan about it here if you want : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=222440
No please don't moan, I didn't ask people to comment on that bug report so they could moan (though a fair few have done so anyway). It gets things nowhere and helps no one. Please if you're going to comment just add a description of what happened so that it can help them fix the issue.

I was earlier. Not there anymore. bout 2pm ish.
Incidentally got attacked by sentry drones when I landed. They were 'Lawless' so I shot em.
Ahhh sentry popped up a moment ago but then vanished, didn't see anyone shoot it.
I really think it needs stressing that this is getting beyond a joke now, the only way this is going to happen is if people start getting vocal and actually make an issue of it.
It's really not fair for Frontier to ask players to invest time into something that plain just doesn't work, people affected have every right to be angry about this and should make a point of telling Frontier if they feel this way.
It is better for everyone involved that people express their feelings on this forum and Frontier take it on board and take steps to stop this sort of thing happening, than people express their feelings elsewhere.

This is very close to the downed anaconda on that planet. Don't think it counts as a new one.

Good one, it's a confirmation on one of these.
Keep posting coords and screenshot, possibly with coords. It's good to get some confirmation
So are several of the others listed in post 2 so thought it worth mentioning. Also, odd position - halfway up a cliff, had to chase the MAs to scoop them.
EDIT: screenshot added as suggested. Submitted to spreadsheet also.

I don't know my PSU goes BANG and the threadnaught goes ape .
Many apologies to all of the people that were on line on Monday waiting to help me complete the mammoth task (see post page 8 of this thread) But my psu went bang and left me with an expensive paperweight.
So new PSU some 3D printed graphic card supports (my first useful 3d print with a purpose)
the green bits, and i think i am ready to get back in the game
So if anybody is in and has any of these ships
Corvette
Currior
Diamondback Scout
and would not mind giving me a hand for a few mins (if you are curios as to what this bit of science is all about see post on page 8) then please add me (cmdr stimpy) in game.
Top rep to cmdr Octo for the first discovery of a Barnacle.
I have so much to catch up on 250 pages at least think it may be time to use Bitstorm's abbreviated threadnaught

Yeah if if anything I'll just keep them distracted while the science teams evacuate
If you are collecting metal alloy they bill fire at cargo hold and then your FSD and you will be lucky to get away.
Has anyone yet found barnacles in other Nebula?

I'm looking at moons of/or ringed planets in orion. I looked at some in Bernard too but I'm jumping around rather that thoroughly scouring a surface.
I spent today in Barnard's Loop. Hoping this visibility bug didn't mean I flew right past one..
Docked back at Maia now. I'll head out and try again when I know they'll definitely be visible!
Following an "overenthusiastic" landing I cut my little expedition short and returned to civilization. After a brief stop for repairs I headed straight back to the Pleiades to make this little barnacle timelapse video for you all to enjoy...

As we can see it does not grow, open or move in any way, and the only thing that it points to is the sky. So hopefully we can finally put those lines of inquiry to rest.
The sound of course is not sped up, I just added a brief barnacle clip to the footage. Sounds good though, and that really does sound like a short morse sequence just after the half way mark!
Hope you like it
