Lava

Generated deep underground and impossible to pump — move it by freezing, carrying, and re-igniting.

Fuel; igniting Residue in production lines

Lava spawns naturally deep underground and refuses to travel like a normal fluid: no Pump-and-Pipe combination will move it. The working method is a conversion round-trip — freeze it into Scoria, break the Scoria into portable Cinder, carry the Cinder to its destination, and ignite it to recreate Lava on site. The official Wiki also documents automation setups where trapped Lava ignites Residue as it moves through a production line.
