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 guide 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.

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
Lavaland's atmosphere is not safe for all beings. It is a low pressure, low oxygen environment and you require internals to traverse it. 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, you may even be able to escape them with the correct equipment. 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.
