Fumerola Nitris - White
Extremophile organisms located in regions with active fumaroles. Their metabolism is driven exclusively through chemosynthetic and thermosynthetic mechanisms based on nearby volcanic activity. Proximity to volcanic heat allows them to survive in environments where the ambient temperature is naturally too cold for them. They frequently incorporate minerals from the fumaroles' ejecta, meaning they can appear inorganic at first glance and may sport exotic colours.
— In-Game Description
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 shapes of Fumerola:
- Fumerola Aquatis
- Fumerola Carbosis
- Fumerola Extremus
- Fumerola Nitris
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

Fumerola aquatis[]
CMDR Rufio Viriatus, Fumerola aquatis, Gludgaa MA-H c10-9, 5 a
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

Fumerola carbosis[]
CMDR Quadmo, 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:

| Mercury | Magenta |
| Molybdenum | Gold |
| Niobium | Cobalt |
| Tungsten | Yellow |
| Tin | Teal |
Fumerola extremus[]
CMDR Kazahnn Drahnn, Fumerola extremus, Prua Phoe OL-D c17, AB 3 b
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[]
Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:
| MATERIAL | COLOR |
|---|---|
| Cadmium | |
| Mercury | Lime |
| Molybdenum | Blue |
| Niobium | White |
| Tungsten | Mulberry |
| Tin | Peach |
Fumerola nitris[]
Fumerola Nitris - White
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
Colored variants[]
