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.

Developer Volcanoid announced the next major Steam Early Access update will unlock the doors to Steam Workshop!

Previous updates in Steam Early Access have brought new weapons, modules, enemies, and more to Volcanoids. Soon, it will be time to open the floodgates and let the full creative power of the modding community erupt on the Volcanoids island. 

To aid the modding community, the Volcanoid team plans to make Blender asset galleries available and unlock every aspect of the game they can think of so that modders can change up drillships, guns, armor, buildings, modules, characters, decals, and more. 

“Once the workshop is live, there will be full support for the modding community so that players have the power to create pretty much anything they want and make it part of the game,” said Volcanoids Marketing Manager, Richard Rampas. “Even if it doesn't work 100%, our goal for Steam Workshop is to make pretty much anything that can be modded available to players who want to tinker.”

Modders interested in getting a head start with Volcanoids can hop on the game’s Discord to request access to a beta branch with work in progress Steam Workshop tools. 

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.
