This reminded me of a late-1990s Taiwanese RPG by DOMO Studio called "Tun Town" (I'm not sure if it was translated into English...), in which the main plot was a fictional town drilling too much into a volcano to tap energy eventually caused it to erupt.

Not sure how scientifically sound that was lol

Also the anime darling in the franxx!

Some of the synopsis:

> In the early 21st century, the progress of human civilization was accelerated by ground-breaking discoveries in mining technology, allowing the extraction of magma energy for a new low-cost, all-encompassing energy source.

Also the theme of Gorillaz’ song Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head, where shadowy figures dig too deep for the jewels in a volcano island.

Ah, the classic tale of digging too greedily and too deep. Whether it’s Gorillaz' shadowy figures or Middle-Earth's dwarves, everyone seems to forget that volcanoes and precious jewels come with a hot-tempered landlord.

That's also Dwarf Fortress. In DF magma is actually desirable for gameplay (Magma Forge! Magma Smelter! Weaponized magma!) but there are still things that make you think twice before digging too deep.
