Volcano

The Volcano is a reoccurring object featured within Gorilla Tag. It was first added in the "Forest Lava" update on September 22, 2023, It Was Later added Back To The "I Lava You" Update On February 9, 2024. It can be used to trigger a gamemode-based event, where lava rises from the map.
== Appearance ==
The Volcano appears as a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano 
This crust is depicted as a black rock, with a lighter section at the top. The Volcano is black releasing smoke, bright orange magma which stains the front of the object, and occasionally particles of lava ranging in colour from lighter to darker shades of red. 
The Volcano is often seen with at least one metal bucket, containing a bright orange layer of magma, and light grey "lava rocks" which can be held by a player.
== Behaviour ==
=== Constant Behaviour ===
Any player who is submerged in the lava omitted by the Volcano during any state will be eliminated based on the current gamemode. This behaviour is applied in all gamemodes with the exception of Casual, as there isn't any "elimination" gimmick. 
=== "Drained" State ===
When inserting a "lava rock" into the Volcano, it will go through the activation process the game uses to register rocks to determine whether the Volcano should be activated. 
For the Volcano to activate, a set percentage of players must insert "lava rocks" into the Volcano. This percentage is determined by the current queue, with 60% used when in a room under the Competitive queue, and 42% used when in a room under the Default or Minigames queue. 
When the Volcano is activated, it will be set to it's "Erupting" state.
=== "Erupting" State ===
When the Volcano is erupted, it will wait an additional three seconds before it will be set to it's "Rising" state.
As of Feburary 23, 2024 The Volcano will shoot out magma rocks, Which is a pretty nice touch
=== "Rising" State ===
When the Volcano is rising, a bright red layer of lava will rise from the bottom of the map. During this time, the Volcano will wait an additional 10 seconds before it will be set to it's "Full" state.
=== "Full" State ===
When the Volcano is full, it will wait an additional 240 seconds (4 minutes) before it will be set to it's "Draining" state.
=== "Draining" State ===
When the Volcano is draining, the layer of lava previously seen rising from the bottom of the map, will retreat to it's initial location. During this time, the Volcano will wait an additional 10 seconds before it will be set to it's "Drained" state.
== Trivia ==
* Earlier models of the Volcano depict it resembling the surface of dark beige rock seen throughout Beach. This earlier concept was incorporated into the Glass Chamber object in Basement.
