Lavaland/Space Role
Lavaland and the depths of space possess a wide array of ghost playable roles, ranging from some simple farmers to trained soldiers. All roles have unique objectives, characteristics and ultimately unique goals, they all have different ways they are expected to tackle dealing with the inhabitants of lavaland and the station.
Please note that not all lavaland roles might be available to play at once due to random generation, but unless they got removed, they'll appear eventually
Neutral Roles
Generally indifferent to everyone else.
Keep in mind that escalation rules against ghost roles are relaxed - crew are free to attack golems for minerals, podpeople for their somatorays and so on.
Job | Role |
---|---|
Seed Vault Dwellers |
Be created to spread virtue and peace. Waste your time growing dope and revolvers. Shoot yourself with the Revolvers. Honestly you're just a botanist who does not have to worry about assistants rushing you. |
Animal Hospital |
Essentially spawn as a Medical Doctor in hell, but without patients. Get lucky and heal a weary miner, or get unlucky and suicide from boredom. Occasionally host a book club. |
Beach Bum |
Serve drinks to miners, serve drinks to lifeguards, serve drinks to yourself. Die of alcohol poisoning. |
Hermit |
Live in a hole in the wall. Dig your way to freedom or subsist off of mushrooms. Suffocate because your oxygen mask and tank are located across the room and you don't have a flashlight. Generally act like the Assistant of lavaland. |
Free Golem |
Yeah, go do whatever. |
Ancient Station Role |
Spawn on a derelict station abandoned for over one hundred years. Die to lack of oxygen. Suicide when you destroy all your food supplies. Die when the space carp kill you. Die when the Hivebots kill you. Against all odds, maybe survive and thrive. |
Hostile Roles
These roles are almost always hostile, or at least very avoidant towards any outside faction.

Ashwalker |
Be lava Lizards. Prove you don't need fancy guns to beat Goliaths. Die to a Watcher. Either be a minor nuisance to the miners, or proceed to annex the Mining Base. Spam lizard talk on the general radio. Get killed by security for spamming the radio, and coincidentally killing the miners. |

Removed, disabled, or sometimes never implemented for unclear reasons. Whatever the case might be, there's no way you'll find them anywhere
