These rows are recorded on the B037 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 037 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 Emberforge Basin:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-ASHB-037	Ashbloom	No
FLORA-MAGM-037	Magmaweed	Yes
FLORA-HEAT-037	Heat-Spine Shrub	No
FLORA-EMBE-037	Ember Reed	Yes
FLORA-VOLC-037	Volcash Fern	No
FLORA-CIND-037	Cinder Bark Tree	No
FLORA-THER-037	Thermal Spore Cap	No
FLORA-OBSI-037	Obsidian Creeper	No

Two named flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Ashbloom, Heat-Spine Shrub, Volcash Fern, Cinder Bark Tree, Thermal Spore Cap, and Obsidian Creeper.

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

Damage type	Nature
Arena	Ancient Forge Basin
Arena description	The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Emberforge Basin's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by volcanic igneous 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)	108
Arena terrain	Sunken volcanic basin
Arena hazard	Molten Burns
Unique material	Magma Scale
Ground blurb	The Magma Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Emberforge Basin's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by volcanic igneous conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Emberforge Basin would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

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

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-037-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-037-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Forge Crystal harvest modified.
WX-037-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-037-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-037-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-037-CLEAR	Clear Sky	CLEAR	Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 16, Ashfall 14, Cold Event 7, Any Weather 16, Rain/Mist 11, Clear Sky 6. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 0, Any Weather 4, Rain/Mist 2, 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 9 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Moltenhorn has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

Nodes

Nine network nodes are recorded. Three are positive and six are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density high, base respawn 65 minutes, and modifier 1.45x.

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 three positive nodes and a guardian present on the six 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.

Both wordings are left as recorded.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B037, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 037 Emberforge Basin, K3V amber light, volcanic_igneous environment, 0.68g low gravity, Cinderwarden 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 Emberforge Basin, biome 037, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A fiery molten biome located near the heart of a dormant volcano that periodically vents massive amounts of heat and ash. Artisan creatures have used the volcanic forge conditions to develop primitive metallurgy across generations. Terrain recorded as sunken volcanic basin, lava lake. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Molten Burns is the recorded primary hazard. Forge Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, ember r. The Cinderwarden settlement Emberforge Settlement is visible, with Ancient Forge Basin and Vent 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, IMG00721 through IMG00740. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Emberforge Basin, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Molten Burns environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
