Volcanos & Blazing boulders

Volcano(directly a small volcanic biome with a magma well in the center) might be appear one for all mountain. During hibernation volcano does nothing, but sometimes local event "volcanic eruption" will notify of an eruption.
During the eruption volcano causes smoke effect from the center, after 1-7 in game days volcano eruption stops, and on volcanic biome spawns a lot of blazing boulders of good quality ore/stone and not so much sulfur crystals/deposit, but during blazing period you can't do anything with this until it cools down.

My biggest issue is.... what happens to someone's hermitage if they are in the eruption area?

Do we have to deal with people randomly having their entire base, all their work in this world and their char instantly eviscerated?

Or would the Magma core never erupt on claimed land, and the only thing that would change for a player is the terrain under them would become Volcanic Ash?

If the latter, then would it kill all their crops instantly because of changing the tiles? Someone who had farmed 500 Q crops loses it all in a moment? Or would it not affect people's caims?

Volcanic eruption cause only on small volcanic biome or nearest mountain biome, not for all island or a continent. It is not a big world event, im my opinion volcanic eruptions in this game must be a local event.
Like fallen star, volcanic eruption shouldn't destroy anything by itself, only players decide what to do to catch any goods from volcano.

So you want to set up a new biome type called Volcanic type and then occasionally have Volcanic Biomes erupt? That's honestly a pretty fire idea, they could be set up so they only spawn in mountain biomes too, so living at the base of a mountain is more interesting.

Big thing is i don't want to see it implemented just to exist, new foragables and experience events should exist for the Volcanic biome and their needs to be some value to volcanic eruptions, Like maybe they will create lava rock which can be used in seperate recipes, and eruptions should create some new curios... etc.

It needs to be implemented with alot of other stuff so it acts as its own biome.

people just shouldnt settle on an volcanic fallout area, that is generally ill advised, and proven disastrous on multiple occasions.
i mean, you could even increase cropgrowth and base soilquality on such or neighbouring terrain, and make an game out of it "which house chatches the boulder"

thing is, if all this is, is an way of getting high q ore on the surfaice, they are either irrelevant when people are getting better q ore out of mines in dependable timeframes, or they are relevant, in wich case, the whole biome gets pclaimed week 1-2 ,possibly walled off entirely, and anyone coming close gets slaughtered, like thingwalls, cant be claimed cant be walled, every thingwall i come by stands 50% deep on an pclaim with an raidbase and knarrdock connected by roads, from an nearby lake.
