Set in the steampunk era, you take on an expedition to a forsaken island that you once called home. But sudden eruptions triggered by mechanical beings turned the wondrous place into an apocalyptic wasteland. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, you have to outsmart these creatures and capture one of their drillships. Use their own technology against them as you upgrade the machinery and reclaim your homeland.
Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is one of a kind base capable of joining you on every journey.
Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.
Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.
Customize your drillship from the inside out with colors, symbols, gadgets and more. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.

Lore
Origin
The sulfur mine is one of the islands oldest sites, evolving from a basic tunnel system into a high-tech operation. Fueled by an active volcano, the sulfur supply seemed endless, prompting Ironwealth to build a nearby military outpost for protection called the Stormwatch Bastion . As tourism grew, complaints about pollution led to the installation of advanced filters that let the mine operate without disrupting visitors. The facility includes an automated tower, refinery, and rail-connected storage tanks designed to efficiently process and ship sulfur.During the first eruption:
An earthquake triggered an explosion of pressure through the sulfur tunnels, releasing toxic gases that instantly killed workers and caused the collapse of infrastructure into sinkholes. A sulfur cloud rolled down the hillside, engulfing everything in yellow dust. Tragically, a convoy fleeing along the road below was overtaken by the toxic cloud, leaving no survivors.Present-Day:
Today, alarms still sound with every tremor, while toxic gases continue to leak from damaged tanks and pipelines. A thick layer of sulfur dust covers the tunnels and nearby structures, and the nearby river runs yellow from constant contamination. The wreckage remains untouched, including the sulfur-coated convoy, and a new entry point has opened near the main sinkhole under the mine.Hope you enjoyed it and watch out for the next one!
