Hi everyone 👋 We're back with another Planetiles devlog - this time focusing on cataclysms. Cataclysms occur frequently in Planetiles and are directly related to the score. Want to get a better grasp of the rules in our upcoming tile-based citybuilder? Read our[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2447030/view/3741984674886478994?l=english] first devlog that focuses on the basics[/url]. [h3]How Volcanic Eruption works?[/h3] Volcanic Eruption is the type of cataclysm that players will encounter in Planetiles - one of the most devastating torrents in the game. With every [b]500 points[/b] earned, players get to choose between two pairs of [b]upgrades[/b] and[b] cataclysms[/b], as shown on the slate below: [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44534512/0e27050ac47041e3b41264fe656ccad9da49aa94.png[/img] Once Volcanic Eruption occurs, it [b]will destroy 6 random tiles[/b] within the vicinity of max 6 tiles. It won't destroy itself or any already built structures (evolved from 3x3 tiles). [b]Volcano counts as the Mountain[/b], however it is not upgradable as other not-yet raised Mountain Observatories. [h3]How to prepare for Volcanic Eruption?[/h3] Volcanic Eruption may ruin your plans in pursuit of the perfect score so how can you prepare for it? This particular cataclym proves to [b]cause the most damage in the later stages of your playthrough[/b] - destroying 1x1 chunks when your planet is almost fully terraformed leaves players with blank spots that are quite hard to fill. That is why it is [b]advised to build structures that offer 1x1 chunks[/b] - wheter its the Mountain or Forest - they help you to keep your planet safe and your score high.

There is a number of ways that you can still avoid this cataclym - for example by enabling the [b]Planet Protector[/b] feature, that we will cover in the next Planetiles devlogs.
