Sandustry Lava Guide
Find, move and use Lava by changing its state instead of trying to pipe it directly.
Official Wiki verifiedIndependent guide
Lava occurs in underground caverns and cannot be carried with the Grabber or moved through Pipes. Freeze it into Scoria, break that into Cinder, transport the Cinder, then ignite it to restore Lava.

Move Lava safely
Use Snow or the Cryoblaster to turn Lava into Scoria. Destroy Scoria to release Cinder, move the solid Cinder with ordinary logistics, and reignite it at the destination.
Heat behavior
Water on Lava becomes Steam without consuming the Lava. A Thermal Buffer in direct contact with Lava consumes it over time, so these are different heat-use cases.
