How do I find titanium?

[[GRVTS]Fat Bastard]

I built the orbital scanner, and I went to the volcanic area, but I can't find it anywhere.

Did you do a quest with radars covering map?

No, but that's very stupid.

Well it's how you progress. Each of these resources first has a mission where you do a mini thing, usually either manually gathering X of that resource or in that case, covering enough of the map with radar stations.

This unlocks the research needed to be able to mine the new resource.

Then you unlock a second place where you build a permanent outpost and start harvesting the resource.

to get titanium you need to finish 3maps/quests
first map you need to scan 10 ice plants
second map you need to cover 50%/points of the map with radar coverage and then find titanium ore sample at quest location
third map you need to find 500 titanium via geoscanner
now you can research titanium mining and you get the acces to "titanium mining outpost map"

If you are on that quest you should be pressing spacebar to wlak around and find nodes that pop up with titanium. Find the 500+ and move on to next mission.

I'm on volcanic radar map, and finding no titanium whatsoever, and I somehow have to build cryo stations without titanium??? am I misunderstanding something?

I really wish there was a command to do a geoscanner type resource eruption so I can bypass these stupid "collect 500 whatevers" during subsequent campaign runs.

Use the naturally-spawning cryo-plants - you can build on the cooled ground around them.

I know what you're referring to, but there isn't a single one on this map, but there is in ferdonite area.... I wonder if it didn't spawn them

Yeah that does not seem right. The volcanic maps always have quite a few of the cryo plants that make a white-ish cold zone around them. You will then build a few wind turbines and a radar in those areas. It really helps if you have already done some uranium mission so you can upgrade your radar for much better coverage.

You might ensure you have a save game, then leave that map. It will warn you about no outpost. Leave anyways and hopefully it will give you a new map to explore that should have the cryo plants.

Yep, restart_map in console and trees are back, tyty

I was able to solve the issue after restarting the map. This time the area with titanium was marked after I created enough radar coverage.
