{{Cleanup|This needs to be beoken up into smaller paragraphs and simplified. Also, favilinks should only be used for the first time an item is mentioned.}}
Lava's baseline temperature of 1,000 degrees means that only some containers can safely hold it:
In terms of proper receptacles for storing lava, any container that has a flaming temperature that is higher than 1,000. There are two dedicated liquid containers that can withstand this temperature, the {{favilink|phial}} and the {{Favilink|glass bottle}}, however, a {{Favilink|glass bottle}} can only safely hold up to 6 drams of lava '''<u>once</u>'''. Only after pouring more than 6 drams of lava or pouring lava into the {{Favilink|glass bottle}} multiple times will the bottle start flaming. Due to the fact a {{Favilink|glass bottle}} is 100 times cheaper than a {{favilink|phial}}, and can hold more drams, it seems the most cost-effective way to trade lava (without using cooling) is with a {{Favilink|glass bottle}}, but the 6 dram lava bottle weights 8 lbs, instead of the 1 lb  {{favilink|phial}}. This means that you can hold significantly less lava than if you had infinite phials in comparison to infinite glass bottles. For example: if a player has 300 lbs of free space, he can hold 37(.5) 6 dram lava bottles and 300 phials of lava. 37 (bottles) times 6 (drams of lava) is 222, so the {{Favilink|glass bottle}} would "lose" 78 drams of lava in comparison to the {{favilink|phial}}.  However, the investment cost is way lower. If we presume that the player bought all of these phials and glass bottles empty the player would have to spend 300 drams of water on phials but only 0.37 drams of water on glass bottles. This investment cost however, is negated by the profit gained from the trade. With this example, currently the {{favilink|phial}} lava trade has a profit of 14700 drams of water, and the {{Favilink|glass bottle}} lava trade has a profit of 11099.63 drams of water. The {{Favilink|glass bottle}} lava trade would lose 3600.37 drams of water in comparison to the {{favilink|phial}} trade. However, this is all if we pretend those 78 drams of lava can never be reached again. Currently, lava does not disappear, so if we go back for those 78 drams of lava, the total amount of water drams profit gained by the{{Favilink|glass bottle}} trade would be (300 drams of lava * 50 value per dram - ((300 drams of lava / 6 drams per bottle) * 0.01 price per bottle)) 14999.5 drams of water, so 299.5 drams more in comparison to the lava phials. The unfortunate side effect of this is that all the phials can be filled by pressing the "collect liquid" option. Glass bottles cannot be filled this way, and have to be manually filled by using the pour option. This means that if you choose to do the {{favilink|phial}} trade instead of the {{Favilink|glass bottle}} trade, you are paying the game 299.5 drams of water for manual labor and (extra) shipping. Phials are rarer than glass bottles, so the {{Favilink|glass bottle}} trade can usually be done more easily. If buying glass bottles from  {{favilink|ichor merchant|plural}}, the player has to keep in mind that every bottle under (6 drams of lava * 50 price per dram) 300 drams of water is effectively profit, if the player can create lava or has lava. However, prices are dependent on your Ego level, so it might be useful to see how much your lava and their bottles are worth.


Some artifacts that can hold liquid as ammo can also hold {{plain name}} without being destroyed. Notable examples include all [[:Category:Liquid Fueled Energy Cells|liquid fueled energy cells]], {{favilink|rocket skates}}, and {{favilink|flamethrower|plural}}.
* {{favilink|Phial|plural}} can hold lava any number of times, but can only hold a single dram each.
* {{Favilink|Glass bottle|plural}} can hold lava for a limited time. After a number of turns depending on the quantity of lava within it, the bottle will ignite and subsequently break.
* All other empty containers will ignite and burn upon pouring lava inside.
* Very small amounts can be stored in some artifacts that store liquids. Examples include: [[:Category:Liquid Fueled Energy Cells|liquid fueled energy cells]], {{favilink|gyrocopter backpack|plural}}, {{favilink|rocket skates}}, and {{favilink|flamethrower|plural}}.
*{{Favilink|Ceramic Amphora|plural}} can safely store lava, but they are liquid generators and will taint the lava if the container is not completely filled.
 
Containers that ignite from lava suffer the [[flaming]] effect, making them suffer tick damage from burning until destroyed. [[Freezing]] is not a viable solution to this issue, as frozen entities and materials thaw back to their resting temperature in a matter of turns and most containers burn at a much lower point than 1,000 degrees.

Lava is a liquid made out of melted rock. It is one of the higher valued liquids, but is highly harmful to anything it contacts that lacks proper heat resistance. A composite liquid containing lava will be magmatic.

Upon entering a cell of lava that is not frozen, the creature's temperature will increase by 1000°, which is often enough to set the creature on fire. This is only when the cell is entered, and staying on the lava will not alter temperature directly. However, there is a high risk of lava staining and covering the creature and their items repeatedly if they do not leave the cell.

When lava is poured on something, their temperature will increase but will not inflict damage.

Storage

Lava's baseline temperature of 1,000 degrees means that only some containers can safely hold it:

  • phials can hold lava any number of times, but can only hold a single dram each.
  • glass bottles can hold lava for a limited time. After a number of turns depending on the quantity of lava within it, the bottle will ignite and subsequently break.
  • All other empty containers will ignite and burn upon pouring lava inside.
  • Very small amounts can be stored in some artifacts that store liquids. Examples include: liquid fueled energy cells, gyrocopter backpacks, rocket skates, and flamethrowers.
  • ceramic amphoras can safely store lava, but they are liquid generators and will taint the lava if the container is not completely filled.

Containers that ignite from lava suffer the flaming effect, making them suffer tick damage from burning until destroyed. Freezing is not a viable solution to this issue, as frozen entities and materials thaw back to their resting temperature in a matter of turns and most containers burn at a much lower point than 1,000 degrees.

Liquid fueled energy cells can be filled with 8 drams of lava, making some of them a potentially cheap lava storage solution, for later reselling.

Sources of Lava

  • Any wall that reaches its melting point will turn into 2,000 drams of lava
  • giant lava weeps and lava weeps. Fungal biomes that contain these have bright red and yellow mushrooms.
  • Rarely sold by ichor merchants and chefs.
    • Note that this lava will sometimes be sold in non-lava safe containers, in which case the containers will be flaming in their inventory.
  • The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of lava for sale.
    • This dram will be sold in a phial, which the lava cannot destroy.
  • When killed, red jells leave a pool of lava in the same way that giant amoebas leave a pool of slime.
  • Found in the deeper levels of the Asphalt Mines
  • Left behind by red-colored ("hot") machine walls when they are destroyed.

Uses of Lava

Consuming Lava

Drinking lava returns the following message:

IT BURNS!

Doing so does not influence hydration in any way.

Consumption of any amount of lava will increase your temperature by 1000°, dealing ♥1d1001-100 (Avg: 50.5) damage and ♥1d1001-100 (Avg: 50.5) more for every 10% of the mixture that is lava (100% lava deals ♥11d10011-1100 (Avg: 555.5), 50% of lava deals ♥6d1006-600 (Avg: 303)). The temperature increase is unaffected.

Drinking lava grants the On the Rocks achievement. In the journal, this is noted as "Unexplainably, you drank lava".
