With the work on rivers, the bridge to lava feels very close. And we're definitely planning to do lava, and also probably retroactively on Pyro after release. But I'm very unsure right now if it's going to make the deadline for the initial Pyro release to actually have flowing lava rivers. But it's definitely planned, and once the rivers are fully there, I think the next step shouldn't be a big one to get to lava rivers.

As folks have seen with the Stanton system, first an initial version of a planet will go out and then it will continue to be iterated as new technologies come online. So just to reiterate that whenever the Pyro system does come online, it may or may not have the flowing lava when it's first introduced. It just depends on how the schedules and the technologies line up at that time.
