Vulcanus is a hot volcanic planet with mountainous volcanoes, rivers of lava, plains of ash, and sulfuric acid geysers.

It is home to demolishers, a large boss‐like enemy that defends its territory. There's no pollution on Vulcanus.

Exclusive recipes

The following items can only be crafted on Vulcanus:

• Metallurgic science pack
• Foundry
• Big mining drill
• Turbo transport belt
• Turbo underground belt
• Turbo splitter
• Acid neutralisation

Demolisher Territories

Only one demolisher will spawn per territoriy. Their territory is outlined by a opaque, bright red line and the inside is marked by parallel, translucent, red lines. Building inside of a demolishers territory will disturb it and cause it to slowly slither towards what you have built. Killing a demolisher will free up all its territory for your use. Demolishers do not respawn.

Biomes

Vulcanus has three distinct biomes.

• Ashlands are plateaus speckled with sparse vegetation and deposits of coal. They are home to leafless alien trees. They are relatively free of cliffs and lava, making them ideal for building.
• Lava basins are filled with winding lava rivers. Within them are deposits of tungsten, which can only be mined using the big mining drill.
• Mountains are large volcanoes, covered in cliffs and with a large lava pool at their center. They are home to sulfuric acid geysers and calcite.
