I wonder what they did with Biters on this world?
I expect we'll get a post about it eventually, probably closer to release.
Plot twist: there are no biters, the planet just spits lava at you
I was kind of wondering if there might be threats like that where certain areas are flooded with lava periodically.
I don't think it goes with the vibe of the game, it would disrupt the factory too much
It could be interesting with something like the old Pharaoh game and its receding riverbed farming, but you'd have to balance that compared to costs of resourcing in Factorio - or offer some reasonably simple way for the player to protect their resourcing operations against the rising lava.
They hint that the drilling awakens something, so I'm guessing different enemy
My guess is that drilling is going to cause the Vulcanus-version of pollution, since it makes sense that a volcanic planet wouldn't have much problem with regular pollution.
