Lava is a resource found on Vulcanus. It is extracted from lava lakes via an offshore pump. It is a fluid and can pass through pipes like any other fluid. The Foundry can process lava into molten iron or molten copper, via molten iron from lava or molten copper from lava respectively. Both of these processes require calcite. They both also produce stone as a byproduct, though the copper version produces more stone than than iron.

Lava is exclusive to Vulcanus. It cannot be placed into barrels, so it cannot be shipped to other planets.
