Developer Diary: The Obsidian Extraction Unit

A New Year calls for something massive and bright! ✨

That’s why we are adding a huge-scale Obsidian Extraction Unit to the base game, designed to harvest the material directly from lava.

This durable and beautiful resource will allow you to craft a host of useful items:

• A brand-new set of building blocks, armor, and weapons.

• Stylish decorative items for your dungeon.

How Does It Work?

• Complex Recipe: To create the Unit, your Dwarves will need to master several intermediate crafting stages.

• Careful Setup: The structure must be precisely secured to a back wall at a specific height above a lake of lava.

• Process Start: The operating Dwarf heads into the cab, and the Unit initiates the extraction process, similar to crafting at a regular workbench.

• Extraction: After processing a large volume of lava, the Unit will dispense a finished chunk of obsidian, ready to be carried to the stockpile.

But remember: the most valuable resources are often guarded by the most dangerous creatures. The Unit will operate in Dragon habitats, and your invasion is unlikely to please these behemoths! 🔥
