I mean, I assume they're talking about cold and dead lava planets, which you can totally do, no problem at all. No, in seriousness, I guess they want liquid lava and stuff, but it's the same issue as the rivers, really. It's not something that Planet Tech V4 can do right now. We'll hopefully get to that.

Personally, I think volcanoes and lava are really, really awesome. I would love to have them. But I think whatever we do next, whether it's more advanced water stuff or lava stuff, we want to make sure that it's a complete experience and not just a visual representation of what lava is doing on the planet, and then you walk up to it and you cannot interact with it or anything. So if we add it, we want to make sure that it's a meaningful addition beyond just the visual representation of something that looks cool. We want to make sure that gameplay is involved with it and that we deliver a complete package of, oh, this is what it's like to have lava in the game and to interact with it.
