Steam Vent without 4 neutronium tiles.

[stretch611]

So I finally found my first "volcano" on the map. It is a cool steam vent.

However, unlike any other volcanos I have seen in the past, this one does not have 4 neutronium tiles at its base.

Is this a bug? Should I post in that section instead?

It`s a bug with world generation. It overlapped 2 "blocks" that always have the same shape and one of them cot cut. You are actually lucky. One more tile to the left and they geyser would`ve been gone.

When the world generator starts up, it places builds the whole map out with all the ore, gas and liquid blocks, and a large number of prefabricated and preset open spaces with plants and stuff.

Next is the 4 fixed geysers and oil reservoirs, which spawn uncovered randomly. After that is the 6-8 covered geysers.

Lastly is POIs like on the right side of your screenshot. These will overlap and overwrite anything that spawned previously, including other POIs, abyssalite boundaries, and static geysers.

The world generator does not take previously spawned stuff into account, at all. My previous base lost one of the 2 static cool steam geysers because a stupid polluted oxygen vent overlapped it and ruined it.
