I haven't found a geyser.... But..

I haven't found a geyser in the game yet, but I decided to start over in hopes of finding one. But so far I didn't. But I did find some water pools, which it's safe to assume I have enough water for awhile.

Maybe your map had no geyser at all...

I wanted to play with geysers and was digging in all directions and looking for them but after some time I started to be suspicious and so loaded that save into debug mode and revealed whole map.
I had zero geysers. I tough they maybe disappear somehow over time but I also loaded save from start (cycle 0) and no geyser on that map... :(

Or I am blind but I don't think so, they are pretty good visible on zoomed out heat map.

Geysers won't show on debug map. Source - a mod comment in preview thread.

They do show. Like here I wanted to see their output (that one on the left I already build something around it)

I need someone to quickly make save file analyzer that outputs how many geysers are on the map or something so I don't have to reveal their locations to check their presence :)

Counting number of "Geyser" words in binary save file seems to do the trick.

Mine was half burried, NEXT TO MY initial spawn, so ******* sweet, so i made a tank and opened her up....

DAMN there was 1Mil water in that 3x3 square all bottled up, the pressure was so high that my home made dam burst and flooded my complete colony.... really? yes really. 

I reversed my save 2 days prior of opening the breach, now I am stuck figuring out how to hold all that water in one place, without breaking through any of my walls. Going to try to go to make a 5 thick wall to see if that will hold the enormous pressure of water that my geyser is releasing.

Try gas permeable tiles. I think they can hold any liquid pressure as it is not even touching them but "flying" in the air.

Geysers will NOT show up in debug mode unless a dupe is spawned near them (using CTRL + F2).

I never used dupe spawning...
Just started new game, paused as soon as I could, backspace, zoom out -> 6 geysers there.

I can confirm geysers DO show up in debug mode... and I now always start a game making sure there are geysers in the map by debug mode.

Has it been changed in a recent update or something? I've been hearing "there are no geysers in my world" from the discord server a LOT until they realized the geysers don't show up in debug mode unless there's a dupe near them.

 

It was changed in some of the preview branch hotfixes. I looked over maps in debug mode as soon as preview branch appeared, and indeed, objects (mobs, geysers, etc) didn't spawn at all unless you discover them "normally", by placing a dupe nearby.

But it changed after some hotfix, now map objects and mobs spawn even in undiscovered places.

I still get no geysers. I get these large rectangles in ice biomes that look like they could have been geysers. They are made out of igneous rock (i think) and sand. I've dug through them and found nothing. These only appeared after the thermal upate beta and haven't changed with all the updates. Anybody have any similar findings?

That's a lot of water :p

Never used debug mode myself, prefer to just play the cards that are dealt me. I suppose if you're starting a new game solely to try some super-base design you're working on then it'd be important, but I mostly just play to derp around :p
