Steam vents no longer found inside mountains?

[warden]

I mined out a large mountain and it seemed strange i didn't find a single geothermal vent. So i figured i'd use dev mode to test things a little, and disabling fog i found none inside other mountains either. Created a new world - same thing. Since then i've created many new worlds and started a load of new colonies and none of them have a single steam vent to dig into. There are plenty of them out on the plains though.

Is this another way for Tynan to force players to build outside or have i run into yet another weird bug or some fuck-up on my part maybe? Playing A10, newest hotfix.

You mean Geyser? I only found geysers inside mountains once or twice, could be that they are rare anyway.

[warden]

Yeah, those. They are rare, but prior to A10 i don't recall ever playing on a map where there were none to be found inside mountains.

[Kaballah]

It's just random, they still appear in mountains in A10, and didn't necessarily in A9.

[warden]

If they still do appear inside mountains in A10, the chance for it to happen must have been severely reduced. I still haven't seen a single vent buried under rock, and i've started easily over 20 new worlds and uncovered the map by disabling fog so i can see inside all the mountains right away. In Alpha 9 they were actually quite plentiful.

I just started 10 games on mountainous maps, and 3 of them had fully enclosed steam vents inside their block of mountains.  If you didn't get one out of 20 maps then you are super unlucky I guess.

The map size might play a part, the vent/mountain ratio might differ slightly on some map sizes.

[Kaballah]

Maybe, I was selecting 300x300 (what I'd usually play on) except for 2-3 where I forgot and took the default.

[warden]

Could be, i haven't tried other sizes than 350x350 the highest, 400x400 or something. Annoying, in any case.

Some guy had a bug where a steam vent spawned in rock next to a ancient structure, so the mechanoids inside raided him at the start of his game, he already planned out the base and everything.

Tynan may have taken them out until he fixes this rare but game breaking bug

[Kaballah]

They aren't taken out, I just said I got 3 out of 10 maps that contained enclosed steam vents.
