The machines that remain
Why Volcanic Caldera continues after the campaign has an ending.
This archive entry may contain campaign spoilers.
Volcanic Caldera is a separate Endless operation around geothermal installations. Independent factories use local controllers comparable to those discovered at Rustbelt Foundry.
Those controllers do not share the safeguard that revokes Synthera's central mandate. Stored production orders must be isolated locally. A command to the central network does not erase every old instruction in every factory.
Profuturis holds a forward position while the works continue to operate. Crews can withdraw, but the factories remain a local problem until their own control is secured.
There is no final victory wave. Highest completed wave and best score measure the operation. Caldera can be entered independently of campaign progress and does not undo the campaign's resolution.
On iOS, Endless is a permanent optional one-time purchase, accessed from the main menu. See the Endless guide.
