[[Lavaland]], by nature, is not a safe place. In fact, it's extremely inhospitable and full of creatures that want to kill, eat, or kill and eat you. Whether it's a gruesome fate from a not-so-friendly [[#Ash Drake|Lava Dragon]] or you manage to accidentally take a bath in molten rock, one wrong step and you're toast. This page serves as a guide to traversing this hellish landscape and maybe even coming out alive on the other end. | [[Lavaland]], by nature, is not a safe place.

! Vetus Speculator <br> [[File:Vetus Speculator.png|128px]]{{Anchor|Vetus Speculator}} | |||
|Vetus Speculator is an old 4-legged self-learning robot made from a long-gone civilization. Likes to scan and learn from things... Including crewmembers. | |||
| | |||
It has several attacks at it's disposal. It can melee with its body and legs, however, a person will not be hit by both at once unless poorly positioned. Legs also have a weak turret on each leg, that can be broken via damage. Every 5 seconds it creates a shield around itself, that blocks 1 hit, or multiple nondamaging hits. Crusher users will need a blast tube to break the shield OR melee the robot with the shield up to de-activate it. It can charge like bubblegum during combat as well. | |||
The main feature that makes it unique, is that it has 5 modes, based on each anomaly core, that can augment its remaining attacks. As part of this it can spawn 3 anomalies around it for 15 seconds with a low chance. However, they do not detonate like regular anomalies once they disappear. | |||
Upon reaching critical HP (normally death), it preps a 10-second self-destruct, before exploding. Large tell, hard to miss. | |||
| | |||
Health: 2500 | |||
Speed: Medium | |||
GPS signal: Malfunctioning Signal | |||

| Grav throws people if they bump into them during charge. For its special ability it picks up rocks from the terrain and throws them at the target. | |||
|- | |||
! Pyro <br> [[File:PyroCore.gif]] | |||
| If it has a pyro core, it makes a trail of fire and temporary lava. For its special ability it turns 3x3 areas around the target (but not too close) into lava. | |||

|Upon death, the hierophant will shrink down, releasing a massive burst of energy. The resulting club is its prize. | |||
The hierophant club has two functions - vortex recall and vortex blasts | |||
Vortex recall - you can place the hierophant beacon after a short delay using the action button at the top of the screen. Then you can teleport you, and everyone around you in a 3x3 area to the beacon at any time after a cast time. you can pick the beacon back up by clicking on it with the hierophant staff in your hand. | |||
Vortex blasts - click on someone and it will create a series of chasers similar to the hierophants own attacks, click on a tile adjacent to you and you will deal damage in a 3x3 area around where you clicked (this includes hitting someone with the club). clicking on a non adjacent tile, or on a mob while you have chasers active, will result in a cross blast, similar to hierophant's attack. Do note, these attacks only work on the mining z-level, and are very useful at mining and destroying rock. | |||

Lavaland, by nature, is not a safe place. In fact, it's extremely inhospitable and full of creatures that want to kill, eat, or kill and eat you. Whether it's a gruesome fate from a not-so-friendly Lava Dragon or you manage to accidentally take a bath in molten rock, one wrong step and you're toast. This page serves as a guide to traversing this hellish landscape and maybe even coming out alive on the other end.
Lavaland has a Long History and was actually a thriving planet long ago. However, time has taken its toll and now it is an ashen expanse populated by only the most volatile and hardy creatures. It is primarily used as a source for raw materials and sending unwanted Enemies of the Corporation for Slave Labor. While not an extremely fun environment to be in, it is home to a plethora of artifacts and ruins open to your exploration and exploitation.
Inhabitants
While covered in lava and buffeted on the hourly by Ash Storms, many sentient creatures still call Lavaland home. Some of them do not wish to be on Lavaland as they were trapped there on accident and others evolved to thrive in the landscape. Many of these inhabitants are willing to trade and work with you for the betterment of each party. Sometimes they just want to kill you. Whatever interaction you have with them, it certainly will be interesting.

Goldgrub |
A grossely oversized grub. Its skin is a bright golden color. It spends its days tunneling through the rock consume all rocky material in its path. It is believed that they once were used by the previous inhabitants of this planet as a means of automating the process of gathering precious metals. | Eats rock and ore. Upon being killed it will drop all the ore it has eaten. |
---|---|---|
Legion |
A horrific being covered in ashen skulls with glowing red eyes. Will drop a corpse upon death | Will summon flying skulls when fighting. Turns dead bodies into legions. |

It tastes mighty fine when grilled, however. | Summons tendrils from the ground in a t-shape digging themselves into prey and stunning them for a period of time. Drops Goliath meat, Goliath Plates, and bones upon being butchered. |
Watcher |
A eerie flying creature with red sinewy antlers sprouting from a large menacing eye. | Shoots a ice beam that does cold damage and slows you down. Drops diamond ore and sinew upon being butchered. fairly neutral mob unless you come within one tile of it or attack it. |
Magmawing Watcher |

Icewing Watcher |
A eerie flying creature with cyan sinewy antlers sprouting from a large menacing eye. | Shoots an ice beam that does cold damage and slows you down. Similar to regular watchers. |
Tendril |
A vile tendril of corruption, originating deep underground. Terrible monsters are pouring out of it. | Necropolis tendrils spawn a random assortment of lavaland monsters including: watchers, goliaths, and legion. After killing the tendril, it will spawn a necropolis chest containing a random piece of loot, and will break into a deadly, inescapable chasm; so watch your step! |
Gutlunch |
A small, dark grey creature that crawls around the Ash Walker tendril. | It feeds on gibs and produced milk. This milk can be harvested by a bucket and has healing powers much like Saline Glucose and Epinephrine. After eating enough food it will reproduce. |
Gutshank |
Much like a Gutlunch, it lives near the tendril and produces milk, but has no eyes and a more reddish-brown hue to its skin. | Similair to Gutlunch. |

Flora
Environmental Dangers
Even if you avoid the various denizens and creatures of the wastes, the environment can kill you very easily. An unprepared crewmember or ash walker can easily perish in the harsh landscape.
Ash Storms
An eerie moan rises on the wind. Sheets of burning ash blacken the horizon. Seek shelter.
Due to the planets scalding hot climate and high winds, clouds of boiling ash is kicked up into the air. These clouds turn into massive storms that blanket the landscape a heavy layer of ash that can easily kill people. Only the sturdiest of equipment and exosuits can withstand an Ash Storm and it is very important to seek shelter under a roof during one.
Ash storms will subside after about a minute and after that, it is safe to go outside.
Atmosphere
[[File:Lavaland Landscape.png|right|thumb|An image of the lavaland landscape with chasms and lava pools. Lavaland's atmosphere is not safe for all beings. It is a low pressure, low oxygen environment and you require internals to traverse it, but not a space suit. Some beings, like Ash Walkers can live in this dangerous environment without the use of external equipment. Chasms
Chasms
There are great big pits on the surface of Lavaland that go down for miles. You can fly or hop over them with wormhole jaunters and jump boots. If you fall into one you won't be coming back. This includes items and any mobs that are thrown into it. Chasms will open up shortly after a tendril is killed.
Lava
The floor is literally lava in many places. Stepping on it will immediately ignite you and deal heavy burn damage, quickly killing if stood on for too long. Can only be traversed with mechs, lava boats, or while under the effect of items or abilities that give lava immunity. Fire resistance alone isn't enough to protect from the burn damage.
Lavaland Loot
The positive tradeoff to traversing the terrible environment of lavaland is the great treasures that lie within it
Necropolis Chests
Upon killing a giant tendril, a necropolis chest will spawn which will contain one of 26 sets of interesting items. While many of the items are mediocre, there is a rare chance of spawning something truly unique and powerful. Miners should measure the tradeoffs of killing important tendrils such as the legion tendrils (which are used for farming legion cores) and obtaining the necropolis chests. Be wary! Very soon after defeating a tendril, the immediate area around it will collapse into a chasm.

You were almost too caught up in the wall mirrors to notice the mirror glowing with a blue aura just in front of you. |
