Ground

A tectonically fractured landscape echoing with mineral resonance and laced with pulsing veins of exposed ore. The earth groans underfoot and mineral deposits shift with each tremor. Ore-eating fauna have carved intricate tunnel systems.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Ore Vein Network primary N/A Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)
Resonance Shaft secondary N/A Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)
Veinscour Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED)

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row, shown there as vanished. All six NPC rows.

No other faction is recorded on a Veinscour Reach NPC row or settlement row.

The faction named as starting control in the header holds the biome at the start. Control can change during play, and quests follow whoever controls the biome at the time.

Resources

  • Ancient Tectonic Shard (GATHERABLE, Legendary)
  • Crystal Vein Ore (Veins) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Fault Sediment (Veins) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Refined Prism Crystal (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Refined Seismic Clay (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Refined Tectonic Fiber (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Tectonic Shard (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Resonance Stone (Veins) (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Rift Glass (Veins) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Veinsc Prism Crystal (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Veinsc Rift Dust (GATHERABLE, Rare)
  • Veinsc Tectonic Shard (GATHERABLE, Common)


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B010 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-010 Resonance Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-010 Scoured Vein Ore PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-010 Mineral Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-VEI Veinite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-ORE Ore Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-MIN Mineral Stone Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-RES Resonance Shard Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-VEI Vein Crystal Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 010 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 Veinscour Reach:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-CRYS-010 Crystalweed Yes
FLORA-TECT-010 Tectonmoss Yes
FLORA-CRYS-010 Crystal Weed No — Protected
FLORA-TECT-010 Tectomoss No
FLORA-RIFT-010 Rift Spore No
FLORA-SPIN-010 Spine Grass No
FLORA-FISS-010 Fissure Bloom No
FLORA-TECT-010 Tecton Root Yes

Three named flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Duplicate flora ids are left as separate recorded rows. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Crystal Weed, Tectomoss, Rift Spore, Spine Grass, and Fissure Bloom. The harvestable cell says No — Protected on Crystal Weed and No on Tectomoss, Rift Spore, Spine Grass, and Fissure Bloom. 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 Veinscour — Deep Vein Convergence
Layout Crystal Canyon Run
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Ancient Vein Walker — Deep Form
Ground note The Deep Vein Convergence 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 Ancient Vein Walker, Ancient of Biome 010
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Sonic
Arena {'location': 'Ore Vein Network', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Veinscour Reach's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by rift tectonic 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, 'special_terrain': 'Mineral vein-exposed scoured rock', 'hazard_active': 'Mineral Collapse'}
Ground blurb The Fault Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Veinscour Reach's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by rift tectonic conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Veinscour Reach would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Mineral Mist and Ore Dust 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-010-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-010-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Resonance Crystal harvest modified.
WX-010-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-010-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-010-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-010-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 18, Ashfall 13, Cold Event 9, Any Weather 10, Rain/Mist 9, Clear Sky 11. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 5, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 5, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 1, 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 14 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 eleven 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 seven 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.

Recipes

Sixteen recipes are recorded, one for each item above. Output quantity is 1. The third material cell is blank on every row, so no third material is listed. Recipe unlock cells use T1 Known, T2 Trusted, T3 Honoured, and T4 Honoured. The faction reputation row names those bands T1 Neutral, T2 Friendly, T3 Honoured, and T4 Revered. Both wordings are left as recorded.

Image prompt

Text only. No file is uploaded. The prompt below is the recorded overview prompt for B010, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 010 Veinscour Reach, K3V amber light, rift_tectonic environment, 0.68g low gravity, Riftwalker Brotherhood (VANISHED) 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 Veinscour Reach, biome 010, rift tectonic, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. A tectonically fractured landscape echoing with mineral resonance and laced with pulsing veins of exposed ore. The earth groans underfoot and mineral deposits shift with each tremor. Ore-eating fauna have carved intricate tunnel systems. Terrain recorded as mineral vein-exposed scoured rock. Unstable ground. Crystal formations erupt and collapse. The fissures pulse with residual tectonic energy. Mineral Collapse is the recorded primary hazard. Resonance Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: fractured grey, cyan ene. The Riftwalker Brotherhood settlement Veinscour Settlement is visible, with Ore Vein Network and Resonance Shaft 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, IMG00181 through IMG00200. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Veinscour Reach, rift tectonic biome, [type], crystal formations, tectonic rifts, amber energy pulses, Mineral Collapse environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
