Overview This mod transforms one of Starfield’s Volcanic biomes — VolcanicRoughNoLife02 — into a dramatic lava‑field environment. The lava is purely visual, designed to resemble cooled, crusted lava, making it believable to walk across with proper gear.

On worlds with atmospheres, the weather is heavily reworked to match the volcanic theme. Expect volcanic lightning, thick ash clouds, falling hot ash, and low visibility caused by outgassing lava.

The mod functions as a visual skin pack only. It does not alter flora, fauna, resources, keywords, quests, or gameplay mechanics.
