Description

Initial surveys of …'s surface have detected frequent tsunamis of superheated lava containing high concentrations of heavy metals. Further analysis will be necessary to fully understand this phenomenon.

Metallic Tsunamis

Console: event extreme_frontiers.110

Description

… has confirmed that the lava oceans on … contain exceptionally pure forms of almost every known rare metalloid in our elemental catalog.

This concentrated collection of liquid metals gives rise to highly volatile electromagnetic fields, causing the frequent formation of molten metal tsunamis.

Using predictive modeling, we have identified brief but regular lulls in wave intensity which can be used to harvest these uniquely rich deposits.
