Lava Geyser

Lava Geysers are areas of the ocean floor that spew out lava and steam. Some of the craters can be found deep in caves and others may be found in the open ocean. Every few seconds, the craters erupt, much like geysers, tossing steam and chunks of lava into the air. They can only be observed from a safe distance, as their eruptions will cause massive damage to the player. However, it is possible to survive an eruption if one exposes oneself only for a short time.

The craters are often resource-rich and it might be worth taking the risk to loot them. However, the type of harvesting node encountered in the Geysers depends entirely on the surrounding biome.

Currently, touching the bottom of the craters itself doesn't do any damage to the players, as long as the player retreats before the Geysers erupt again. It is also possible to stay inside the craters during the eruptions without taking damage, either by staying at the craters' side or by digging a hole into the ground. Seabases will not protect you from eruption damage.
