Volcano Watch

An island. An active volcano. A station to build before it wakes up.

Build, expand, transform

Gather what the terrain offers, order equipment through the Institute's supply chain, assemble your first workbench — then a laboratory, a sensor network, generators, enough to power it all. Each tier unlocks the next. A patch of bare rock becomes, piece by piece, a running facility. And you fund it however you want: science for the Institute, volcanic crops the port can't get enough of, or what a quieter channel takes off your hands through the lava tubes. The station you end up building tells the story of the markets you served.

Read what the volcano is saying

Seismometers, SO₂ sensors, ground deformation readings: each instrument delivers a fragment, none gives the full picture. Cross-referencing the signals, separating pattern from noise — that's what turns a passive station into a system that sees things coming.

Then everything tips

The volcano erupts. Hikers are trapped by the flow. You lift off from your platform and run evacuation rotations — limited capacity, a timer on each group, the lava closing in. Then the front turns back toward your station: hold the line, divert the flow, choose what you save. A few minutes of adrenaline that put everything you've built to the test.

Your call, your consequences

Alert the Institute or wait for more data: nobody decides for you. The reputation you earn in a crisis funds the next one. Rebuild, prepare better — the volcano comes back.
