I luckily am stuck on Vulcanus until I can figure out how to kill these worms and get to the tungsten ore, and there’s no way I can travel back to the Forgotten Realms until my rocket is fueled.
Turrets. Lots and lots of turrets in a line. Build them when it’s far away, then lead the worm parallel with them. The small ones pop pretty quickly this way. I haven’t had to try it with the larger ones yet though.

Non-spoiler tip: you can alt+click just about anything in Factorio 2.0 and get more info on it. Good luck escaping Vulcanus!
Best non spoiler tip for dealing with them I can give is this. Damage resistance doesn’t mean much when you hit them physically hard.
I did figure out how to deal with them, and I am awash in tungsten! Now I’m shipping tungsten plates back to support my artillery aspirations.
