Volcanoids is a first-person, base building survival game set in the steampunk era where humans and technology meet.

In Volcanoids you'll 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.

The Volcanoid team is excited to share Steam Workshop support is now live in their Early Access steampunk survival shooter, Volcanoids!

With Steam Workshop modders can reshape Volcanoids to their will and change up drillships, guns, armor, buildings, modules, characters, decals, and more.

“With full modding support now in the hands of the Volcanoids community, we’re excited to see just how crazy things will get,” said Volcanoids Marketing Manager, Richard Rampas. “We opened the doors early to a few excited modders in a beta branch just a few weeks ago and we’re already seeing all kinds of super cool mods ready in Steam Workshop. Shout out to Melodic Albuild, Lord Gregory, Labyrinth and everyone else who’s jumped in and started creating!” 

At the time of this release, 90 mods are available in the Volcanoids Steam Workshop. Modders excited to join the Volcanoids community can hop on the game’s Discord to ask questions, chat with the team, and share their creations.

Key Features:

  • MOBILE BASE: Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is a one of a kind base that serves as a factory and armored mobile base.
  • DEADLY ENVIRONMENT: Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions that turn the island into an apocalyptic wasteland. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.
  • MECHANICAL MENACE: Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy and resources. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.
  • BASE MANAGEMENT: Take control over your drillship with many different stations and gadgets. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.

Volcanoids is currently available for Windows and Linux in Steam Early Access.
