Vaal Frags not spawning vaal side areas?

Good day, all,

I thought I remembered that adding a vaal frag in the map device spawned a vaal side area in maps. I have run around 15-20 maps with them now and have only had a vaal side area spawn twice...

I am running a strongbox atlas tree w/ 2x anarchy scarabs per map - Dunes map.

Do I have too much content (strongboxes) that it is cancelling out the vaal side area, or, am I just missing something?

Appreciate the feedback.

Vaal Frags only add 5% quantity. As far as I know, they have never added side areas. A long time ago, you could run a single frag (without a map) and get a single vaal area, but don't know if that's the case anymore.

ah crap...

I must have misinterpreted it then.. smh..
For some reason, the resources I found when searching seemed to read as though it would case a side area to spawn inside of a map.

Still is, one frag gets you a side area.
Great in SSF for farming 5l/6L.

if you use a vaal fragment WITH A NORMAL MAP, you get 5% increased quantity


if you use a vaal fragment BY ITSELF (nothing else in the map device), you get a vaal side area INSTEAD of a map.
you can get a vaal side area with one frag

you cannot get a vaal side area with one frag + an actual map item

And for completeness:
You can get a special Vaal Side Area when you put in 4 different Vaal fragments in the right order - The Apex of Sacrifice
