Where is all geysers?
I dug up in every directions a lot but still can't find any geysers.

Am I just unlucky and my map doesn't have any geyser or this kind of map is normal and I have to dig further?

Well, you've searched about mayb 1/10 of the map above the oil biome, maybe 8% of the whole map. Keep looking :D Half of the resource spewers are hidden behind 8x8 obsidian blocks with a 3x1 neutronium line in the center. Basically any place outside of the map edges/magma that has neutronium is a geyser of some sort.

However, I don't see any of those in your map, so gotta keep going.

I have encountered this problem recently, too. If you use debug mode to check the map, I've noticed sometimes the maps spawn with no geysers of any kind. I don't like to cheat when I play but I have a steam geyser saved in my debug so I can plop one if the map doesn't have one. Sometimes this happens with plants like mealwood, too.

I dont want use debug mode. So as @Greep told I have to keep up with digging :)

I have been playing one map for 2 months (of real time), and still have not found ONE geyser.

There's one about 30 squares left of your bedroom... just look harder lol.

Screenshot your map slightly zoomed out (alt-s) and we'll have a look.

Wow you're right. I'm amazed you could see that from that zoomed out screenshot o.o

Geysers are sometimes hidden now and need to be dug out.. look for their netronium bases.

One thing I have noticed is that the geysers you get are pretty random. You may have to adjust your play style to deal with that. All my water comes from polluted water geysers on my current play though.. I've begun using gulp fish to make it clean... ironically it's less bother than cooling down steam geysers, although feeding them all the algie was a pain, till I automated it.

I'm worried about geysers becasue I actually don't know how to survive without it on a long run. How to get the water (polluted or clean) without any geyser?

Is map size standard? If so which size is it?

I've not come across one without a water geyser yet.. But I do get a fair amount of water out of natural gas geysers when using them for power. Similally root with hot geysers like metal or lava, turing a small amount of oil into huge amounts of natural gas.

Slime->algeadistiller->water sieve is how you mass produce water without geysers. This should last you a few thousand cycles with a dozen dupes.

You call that "dug a lot"? You've barely left the starting biome...
