If you’re specifically looking for Firecaps inside the Burning Springs area, you need to focus on the outer edges of the geothermal basin, not the scorched center.
Firecaps do not typically spawn in the middle of the steam vents or sulfur flats. They prefer wooded, slightly shaded ground.
📍 Exact Spots Within Burning Springs
1️⃣ Outer Tree Line (Most Reliable)
Walk the perimeter of the basin where:
-
Burned terrain transitions into living trees
-
Grass starts mixing back into the soil
-
The ground becomes less cracked and yellow
Firecaps commonly spawn:
-
At the base of trees
-
Near small bushes
-
Along the slight slope where the basin rises
Do a slow sweep while scanning downward — they blend in during daylight.
2️⃣ Southern Slope Exit
On the southern edge, where the terrain starts climbing out of the springs:
-
Check along the incline
-
Look near tree trunks on the hillside
-
Search slightly shaded patches of soil
This edge often has 1–3 Firecaps if the spawn pool rolls flora instead of extra insects.
3️⃣ Northern Tree Clusters
Along the northern edge of Burning Springs:
-
Follow the line of trees bordering the open steam area
-
Look between rocks and roots
-
Check slightly darker ground patches
They rarely spawn right next to active vents — stay a little back from the steam.
🔁 If None Appear
Burning Springs rotates flora and creature spawns.
To refresh:
-
Harvest all nearby plants (not just Firecaps)
-
Clear nearby enemies
-
Leave the area until it unloads
-
Return or server hop
Sometimes the insect-heavy spawn rotation reduces plant density temporarily.
