Added page description summarizing the article
11The Volcano (also called the Volcanic biome) is the headline addition of Early Access for Romestead. Beartwigs describes it as "a fiery challenge to those who dare to face the two legendary foes slumbering within." It is the late-game biome, the most dangerous in the launch build, and not approachable without preparation.223344At a Glance5566FieldValueTierLate-game (Early Access tip-of-spear)BossesTwo legendary foes (added for Early Access)ResourcesVolcanic Quarry stone, Ash from the Ash-Pit, Sulphur vents, Marble (high tier)ClimateHot; sulphur vents; lava; ash-pit groundThreatsLava Construct, Lava Lizard, Blazing Elite, Verdant Elite, Great Phoenix of Arabia, Burning FallenSignature buildingsMagma Forge, Ash-Pit (Clay Pit variant), Brick Oven (volcano variant)77Climate and Hazards8899Ash-Pit: the Clay Pit transforms into the Ash-Pit when constructed in the Volcano (patch 0.19.3_1).
