Volcanic Sites: Where to Find??

Hello

I have never seen a volcanic site. I've seen plenty planets listed as having volcanic activity but never found anything while flying around them. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I am currently in Quince but jumping doesn't bother me. If you know some decent volcanic sites or geysers that I could visit in my SRV, I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks

Hi Commander, I was trying to find one of those sites myself many times. I literally spent hours scouting very small planets with listed active sites - was never able to find one. Even if I saw small blue POI, it never had actual volcanic site on the surface. I also asked on the forum at least twice, never got any clear answers where/how to look so I just assumed it is like 5 - 10 random spawns per planet and there are no clear rules on where to look for them.
After spending more than any sane person would do on trying to locate one of those I decided to "cheat" and just took one of many tourist passenger missions with volcanic site as a target. Sorry but no good news from me man, I suggest just take one of the tourist missions, pretty sure Sol had few of those with in system locations to see.

I'll just direct you to this little lovely thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...Fumarole-Location-Catalog-and-Data-Collection

Volcanism is a tough cookie to crack, we are still working hard on coming up with the best methods but we've managed to narrow done simple tricks.


1. Keep it simple, planets and moons with a radius of 500 or below are the best places to search for volcanism as there isn't too many places for them to hide...though they can still be tricky.
2. When you first start out it's easier to stick to cayons and craters, mainly canyons. But sites can be found all over the places, a cmdr recently just discovered around 24 sites on one planet.
3. Volcanism show sup on the radar as a very, very, very, tiny blue POI, and occasionaly it can even be a BIG POI that shrinks down to a tiny, tiny, tiny POI.


Good luck and again, the thread linked here will be your best place to find any and everything about volcanism.
