Thermals will appear around the region in which there is steam in. In order to make steam form on Friendship Island, the player needs to complete the "Saunarator" quest.
Thermals with boulders on them will only appear in the following regions: Gemstone Mountain, Mount Hothead, or Spooky Swamp. During the steam event, there will be 5x Thermals with boulders.
When the boulder is broken using the Pickaxe, Thermals will produce Steamdrops. Occasionally, Thermals will produce Music Discs when broken instead of a Steamdrop. If the player was somewhere else during a weather event, the boulders will stick around until another steam event in that region occurs!
There will be other Thermals with no boulders that only produce upward drafts that can make Balloons rise. In Seaside Resort and the Merry Meadow, Thermals will never have boulders. Instead, the Seaside Resort will have the Steamy Sunfish spawn during steam, and the Merry Meadow will have the Hearthling spawn, respectively.
