Ground
A desolate scorched biome where the earth itself seems to burn from below and the sky is a permanent ceiling of orange toxic smoke. The wastes are the result of a geological catastrophe that incinerated an ancient civilization five thousand years ago.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals
These rows are recorded on the B046 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.
| ID | Name | Type | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIG-046 | Ancient Burn Crystal | SIGNATURE | Rare–Legendary |

Harvest
The harvestable index records counts for biome 046 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 Infernal Wastes:
| ID | Name | Harvestable |
|---|---|---|
| FLORA-ASHB-046 | Ashbloom | No |
| FLORA-INFE-046 | Infernal Fern | Yes |
| FLORA-MAGM-046 | Magmaweed | Yes |
| FLORA-HEAT-046 | Heat-Spine Shrub | No |
| FLORA-EMBE-046 | Ember Reed | Yes |
| FLORA-VOLC-046 | Volcash Fern | No |
| FLORA-CIND-046 | Cinder Bark Tree | No |
| FLORA-THER-046 | Thermal Spore Cap | No |
Three 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, and Thermal Spore Cap.
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 Infernal — Infernal Core |
| Layout | Caldera Core Run |
| Max players | 6 |
| Lockout hours | 72 |
| Boss name | Flamemane — Deep Form |
| Ground note | The Infernal Core has never been accessible to surface explorers. The Deep Zone system reveals what the biome contains at its most dangerous depth. |
Boss
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Boss | Flamemane, Ancient of Biome 046 |
| Difficulty | T3_Heroic |
| Recommended party | 4 |
| Damage type | Physical |
| Arena | {'location': 'Ruin Fields', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Infernal Wastes'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': 116, 'special_terrain': 'Toxic smoke-filled wasteland', 'hazard_active': 'Toxic Smoke Inhalation'} |
| Ground blurb | The Magma Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Infernal Wastes'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 Infernal Wastes would be if the biome could choose to fight. |
Weather
The atmosphere row records weather patterns Infernal Wind and Flame Storm. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.
| ID | Name | Code | Recorded effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| WX-046-STORM | Storm | STORM | Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity. |
| WX-046-ASH | Ashfall | ASH | Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Ancient Burn Crystal harvest modified. |
| WX-046-SNOW | Cold Event | SNOW | Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types. |
| WX-046-ANY | Any Weather | ANY | Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions. |
| WX-046-RAIN | Rain/Mist | RAIN | Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions. |
| WX-046-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 8, Cold Event 14, Any Weather 16, Rain/Mist 8, Clear Sky 8. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 0, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 2, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 3.
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 8 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Flamewatcher 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 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.

Image prompt
Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B046, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.
Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 046 Infernal Wastes, 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 Infernal Wastes, biome 046, volcanic igneous, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A desolate scorched biome where the earth itself seems to burn from below and the sky is a permanent ceiling of orange toxic smoke. The wastes are the result of a geological catastrophe that incinerated an ancient civilization five thousand years ago. Terrain recorded as toxic smoke-filled wasteland. A land of fire and ash. Magma veins run beneath the surface. The K3V star paints the constant smoke amber. Toxic Smoke Inhalation is the recorded primary hazard. Ancient Burn Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: obsidian black, ember re. The Cinderwarden settlement Infernal Settlement is visible, with Infernal Hollow and Ruin Fields 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, IMG00901 through IMG00920. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Infernal Wastes, volcanic igneous biome, [type], amber volcanic glow, ash particles, ember light, Toxic Smoke Inhalation environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
