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.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

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.

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
