Fumerola
Template:Quote Fumerola are a genus of alien organism found on planets and moons with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the Genetic Sampler and scanned with the Short Range Composition Scanner. They appear to grow on certain types of Fumaroles.
Description
Fumerola derives its name from fumaroles (vents). They appear on top of rocks in small patches of flat terrain.[1]
Types
There are four known types of Fumerola with differing base values:
| SPECIES | VALUE |
|---|---|
| Fumerola Aquatis | 6,284,600 |
| Fumerola Carbosis | 6,284,600 |
| Fumerola Extremus | 16,202,800 |
| Fumerola Nitris | 7,500,900 |
Distance
Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 100 m. This is the colony range.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Develop on fumaroles (geological POI)
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
| TYPE OF VOLCANISM | SPECIES |
|---|---|
| Water based
(planètes Icy ou Rocky Ice) |
Fumerola aquatis |
| Carbon dioxide or Methane
(Icy or Rocky Ice planets) |
Fumerola carbosis |
| Silicate, Iron or Rocky
(Rocky or HMC planets) |
Fumerola extremus |
| Nitrogen or Ammonia
(planètes Icy ou Rocky Ice) |
Fumerola nitris |
Fumerola aquatis
Description
A species of fumerola that can be found near sites of water-based volcanic activity. They appear as small dark clusters with ridged folds that trap heat within.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Develop on fumaroles (geological POI)
- Water based volcanism, only on Icy or Rocky Ice planets
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
Colored variants
Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:
| MATERIAL | COLOR |

| Mercury | Yellow |
| Molybdenum | Cyan |
| Niobium | Gold |
| Tungsten | Cobalt |
| Tin | Orange |
Fumerola carbosis
Description
A fumerola species found near sites of carbon—based volcanism, appearing as a thin upright tube. An inner organism protrudes from an opening at its peak to increase heat absorption.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Develop on fumaroles (geological POI)
- Carbon or Methane based volcanism, only on Icy or Rocky Ice planets
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
Colored variants
Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:
| MATERIAL | COLOR |

| Mercury | Magenta |
| Molybdenum | Gold |
| Niobium | Cobalt |
| Tungsten | Yellow |
| Tin | Teal |
Fumerola extremus
Description
An exception among its kin. this fumerola species seems to have an arbitrary preference of specific volcanism types which have yet to be explicitly linked in any way. They appear as long vertical stalks with smaller fronds that can stretch out.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Develop on fumaroles (geological POI)
- Silicate, Iron or Rocky based volcanism, only on Rocky or High Metal Content planets
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
Colored variants

| Mercury | Lime |
| Molybdenum | Blue |
| Niobium | White |
| Tungsten | Mulberry |
| Tin | Peach |
Fumerola nitris
Description
This species of fumerola prefers nitrogen-based volcanism. They produce an ovoid organism with dotted markings, which sits on top of a thin stalk.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Develop on fumaroles (geological POI)
- Nitrogen or Ammonia based volcanism, only on Icy or Rocky Ice planets
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
