Primal Magma is a block that only generates in volcano structures, which generates in Primordial Caves. Primal Magma is found in two states depending on where it's found.

Obtaining

Natural Generation

Inactive Primal Magma is found on the outside of the volcano alongside Flood Basalt and acts like regular magma with the addition of setting the player on fire. Active Primal Magma appears in the volcano's caldera. It acts as powdered snow, trapping the player inside it, while also acting as lava.

Special

The Luxtructosaurus will rain down meteors made of Primal Magma. Note that the primal magma created by these meteors is a distinct version of Primal Magma referred to internally as fissure_primal_magma . This kind of Primal Magma looks and behaves identically to how regular Primal Magma behaves when a Luxtructosaurus is present. However, when the Luxtructosaurus is defeated, fissure_primal_magma will convert into a block from the #regenerates_after_primordial_bossfight based on what blocks from that tag are surrounding it. Otherwise, it will convert into Flood Basalt(which is also in the tag)

Crafting

Inactive Primal Magma can be made with Flood Basalt and Magma Blocks, neither of which have working icons.

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Flood Basalt +
Magma Block

Properties

When the Luxtructosaurus is summoned, all Inactive Primal Magma becomes active. When the Luxtructosaurus is slain, all Primal magma summoned by it will deactivate, and eventually disappear, welcoming the arrival of Atlatitans.

Trivia

  • Despite Active Primal Magma having no corresponding item, it can still be renewed in block form similar to how Limestone is renewed.
