Hello there!
After our little trip to the acid biome, it is time to go even further. Today we will take a look at one of the most dangerous places you can find on Galatea 37. ‘Why would we want to go to an even more dangerous place than the previous one?’ you may ask. Well, the answer is simple - some of the resources required to construct the rift portal back home are only available there. Pack up some fireproof protective clothes because today we’re going to the magma biome.
As luck would have it, rich deposits of Titanium are only available in the areas of intense volcanic activity on Galatea 37. This biome bears many scars from countless eruptions. Lava-filled craters of various shapes and sizes pose an interesting challenge for Ashley and Mr. Riggs - how are they supposed to build up an outpost with all its infrastructure in such a constrained building space? That alone will require a lot of creativity, and we haven’t even tackled the most obvious problem yet - the heat.
As you would expect, being in close proximity to an active volcano makes the ambient temperature significantly higher than normal. Even the robust and well-tested Riftbreaker technology starts breaking down over time due to the heat. In order to build any structures, you will have to find a way to bring the temperature down a notch. Oddly enough, nature has found a way to sustain life even here, so perhaps you should look for inspiration in your surroundings?
Nothing is ever easy on Galatea 37. Even in this hellish biome, there are lots of creatures that will see you as a threat to their existence. We have shown you some of them before - Morirots and Hedroners are right at home here. Either try not to get under their skin too much, or mod your guns to utilize their weaknesses, otherwise your magma biome adventure might get tough. Luckily, not all creatures are hostile - just look at these cuties!
There is one more thing to mention. Volcanic activity in this region is quite unpredictable. This results in frequent eruptions of ash, magma, and debris. In the best-case scenario, your outpost will be drowned in thick volcanic ash, severely limiting vision and solar power collection. If you’re a bit less lucky, large chunks of volcanic debris will bombard your base and there is plenty of evidence of their power in the surrounding area. It also seems that some rocks spewed out of the volcano get strange magnetic properties. We will have to investigate that.
When you finally overcome all the problems we just mentioned, you will be rewarded with access to amazing mineral deposits, boosting your economy by a lot! Best of all - power shouldn’t be a big issue for you here, as you can put magma to work in your brand new Magma Power Plants. We promise - it’s all worth it.
