OBSIDGRID: evacuating a city one lava row at a time

- Each turn, the lava advances one row regardless of whether crews move or hold their positions.
Field notes
The page frames the evacuation as a turn-based table exercise: crews move across a seven-sector slope while a lava front advances one row each turn. Its sector notes assign each place a logistical problem, from furnaces that need banking to three ferries and one stair; the council’s backup protocol instead prioritizes records, a seed vault, and a radio mast. The page labels the project an early reveal and lists PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, but gives no release date in the supplied extract.
