Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 065 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those counts are not assigned to names here.

Named flora recorded for Cinderfield Wastes:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ASH -065	Ash Fern	Yes
FLORA-ASHS-065	Ashshrub	Yes
FLORA-SAND-065	Sandbloom	Yes
FLORA-CIND-065	Cinderbloom Crystal Plant	Yes
FLORA-THOR-065	Thornscale Bush	No
FLORA-SCOR-065	Scorchglass Weed	No — Protected
FLORA-DUST-065	Dust-Root Binder	No — Protected
FLORA-ARID-065	Arid Bloom	No

Four named flora rows are marked harvestable. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Thornscale Bush, Scorchglass Weed, Dust-Root Binder, and Arid Bloom. The harvestable cell says No on Thornscale Bush and Arid Bloom and No — Protected on Scorchglass Weed and Dust-Root Binder. Both wordings are left as recorded.

Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

Deep zone

Field	Value
Deep zone	Deep Cinderfield — Waste Underlayer
Layout	Scorched Chamber

Boss

Field	Value
Boss	Ashhorn, Ancient of Biome 065
Difficulty	T3_Heroic
Recommended party	4
Damage type	Sonic
Arena	Ash Field
Arena description	The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Cinderfield Wastes's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subtropical arid conditions — no neutral ground exists. In 0.68g, player jump arcs extend 47% further than Earth-equivalent, and boss knockback sends players 35% further than expected.
Arena size (m)	100
Arena terrain	Ash-covered interior desert
Arena hazard	Ash Inhalation
Unique material	Scorch Scale
Ground blurb	The Scorch Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Cinderfield Wastes's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subtropical arid conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Cinderfield Wastes would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Ash Wind, Cinder Storm, and Dust. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-065-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-065-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Ancient Cinder Crystal harvest modified.
WX-065-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-065-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-065-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-065-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 12, Ashfall 19, Cold Event 15, Any Weather 12, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 9. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 0, Ashfall 6, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 4, Rain/Mist 0, Clear Sky 1.

Mobs

Seven named mobs are recorded. One further row records 63 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 63 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 11 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Wastewatcher has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these nine nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the four positive nodes and a guardian present on the five negative nodes. Both records are left as recorded.

World events

Three world events are recorded. Where the duration cell and the notes cell disagree, both figures are left as recorded. The biome-pack names and the world-event master names disagree. Both name sets are left as recorded.

• Chain order: Q0577 → Q0578 → Q0579 → Q0580 → Q0581 → Q0582 → Q0583 → Q0584 → Q0585.
• No faction contests this biome, so favor here is never lost.
• Skipping quests gives no favor.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B065, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 065 Cinderfield Wastes, K3V amber light, subtropical_arid environment, 0.68g low gravity, Ashen League faction territory, AAA game quality, cinematic painterly, panoramic establishing shot, biome landscape at K3V amber light, faction settlement visible, atmosphere establishes biome identity.

Detailed prompt for an image creator: Painterly cinematic establishing shot of Cinderfield Wastes, biome 065, subtropical arid, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A barren scorched biome where the land is covered in charred remnants of a once-vast forest. The cinder fields are kilometers deep in compressed ash. Below the ash layer ancient trees have calcified into mineral deposits of unusual purity. Terrain recorded as ash-covered interior desert. Scorched earth and ashfall. Wind carries grit that strips skin. Rare blooms emerge after ashfalls. Ash Inhalation is the recorded primary hazard. Ancient Cinder Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: ochre, burnt sienna, as. The Ashen League settlement Cinderfield Settlement is visible, with Ash Field and Calcified Hollow in the same territory. AAA game concept art, faction territory readable in the architecture, no text in the image.

The image-prompt table also records twenty ungenerated prompts, IMG01281 through IMG01300. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Cinderfield Wastes, subtropical arid biome, [type], scorched amber plains, ashfall dust, K3V sun, Ash Inhalation environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
