Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B052 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID	Name	Type	Rarity
SIG-052	Starfall Crystal	SIGNATURE	Rare–Legendary
PRI-052	Star Metal Ore	PRIMARY	Uncommon–Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 052 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 Starfall Basin:

ID	Name	Harvestable
FLORA-CLOU-052	Cloudpetal	No
FLORA-SKYM-052	Skymoss	Yes
FLORA-SUMM-052	Summit Lichen	No
FLORA-MOUN-052	Mountain Fern	No
FLORA-WIND-052	Wind-Shear Grass	No
FLORA-ALTI-052	Altitude Bloom	No
FLORA-HIGH-052	High Spore Cluster	No
FLORA-METE-052	Meteor Flower	No

One named flora row is 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 Cloudpetal, Summit Lichen, Mountain Fern, Wind-Shear Grass, Altitude Bloom, High Spore Cluster, and Meteor Flower.

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

Difficulty	T3_Heroic
Recommended party	4
Damage type	Frost
Arena	{'location': 'Impact Basin', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Starfall Basin's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by high mountain 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': 92, 'special_terrain': 'Impact-crater alpine basin', 'hazard_active': 'Crater Rim Shockwave Ejection'}
Ground blurb	The Wind Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Starfall Basin's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by high mountain conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Starfall Basin would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Cosmic Wind, Star Rain, and Impact. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID	Name	Code	Recorded effect
WX-052-STORM	Storm	STORM	Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-052-ASH	Ashfall	ASH	Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Starfall Crystal harvest modified.
WX-052-SNOW	Cold Event	SNOW	Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-052-ANY	Any Weather	ANY	Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-052-RAIN	Rain/Mist	RAIN	Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-052-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 10, Cold Event 8, Any Weather 15, Rain/Mist 10, Clear Sky 15. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 3, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 2, Clear Sky 3.

Mobs

Eight named mobs are recorded. One further row records 62 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 62 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 13 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

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 five positive nodes and a guardian present on the four 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.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B052, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 052 Starfall Basin, K3V amber light, high_mountain environment, 0.68g low gravity, Skyreach Covenant 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 Starfall Basin, biome 052, high mountain, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A vast celestial expanse where the land is dotted with glowing impact sites from regular starfall events. The basin collects star metals which have altered the local geology over millions of years. The sky here shows the most stars visible from any biome. Terrain recorded as impact-crater alpine basin. Above the clouds. Wind shear can strip equipment. The view of Abernon from here is breathtaking. Crater Rim Shockwave Ejection is the recorded primary hazard. Starfall Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: grey granite,. The Skyreach Covenant settlement Starfall Settlement is visible, with Impact Basin and Star Metal 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, IMG01021 through IMG01040. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Starfall Basin, high mountain biome, [type], cloud layer, amber sky above clouds, extreme altitude, Crater Rim Shockwave Ejection environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
