Ground

Brassfen Thicket sprawls across acidic wetlands layered with iron-rich soil and metallic vegetation. Plants exhibit semi-mechanical traits and steam vents pulse rhythmically from deep roots. The metallic ecology here is a planetary anomaly of uncertain origin.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Brassfen Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F02 Verdania Collective
Brass Hollow secondary N/A F02 Verdania Collective
Iron Root Network primary N/A F02 Verdania Collective

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F02 Verdania Collective Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row. All seven NPC rows.

No other faction is recorded on a Brassfen Thicket 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

  • Brassf Biolume Sap (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Brassf Glowspore (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Brassf Verdant Resin (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Dream Petal (Brass) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Glowmoss (Brass) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Rainvine Fiber (Brass) (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Canopy Dew (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Refined Fernseed (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Glowspore (GATHERABLE, Common)
  • Refined Verdant Resin (GATHERABLE, Uncommon)
  • Spore Cap (Brass) (GATHERABLE, Legendary)


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B096 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-096 Metallic Amber SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-096 Brass Flora Extract PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-096 Iron Soil Crystal SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-BRA Brassit Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-MET Metal Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-IRO Iron Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-BRA Brass Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-MET Metal Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 096 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 Brassfen Thicket:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-DREA-096 Dreambloom Yes
FLORA-SPOR-096 Sporemoss Yes
FLORA-LUMI-096 Luminescent Frond Palm No
FLORA-ROOT-096 Root Bridge Moss No — Protected
FLORA-CANO-096 Canopy Spore Bloom No
FLORA-BIOL-096 Biolume Orchid No
FLORA-DAMP-096 Damp-Root Binder No — Protected
FLORA-SPOR-096 Spore-Rot Fungus No

Two 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 Luminescent Frond Palm, Root Bridge Moss, Canopy Spore Bloom, Biolume Orchid, Damp-Root Binder, and Spore-Rot Fungus. The harvestable cell says No on Luminescent Frond Palm, Canopy Spore Bloom, Biolume Orchid, and Spore-Rot Fungus and No — Protected on Root Bridge Moss and Damp-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 Brassfen — Brassfen Sump
Layout Bioluminescent Hollow
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72

Ground note The Brassfen Sump 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 Metalhorn, Ancient of Biome 096
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Sonic
Arena {'location': 'Iron Root Network', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Brassfen Thicket's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by equatorial rainforest 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, 'special_terrain': 'Acid-rain-fed fen thicket', 'hazard_active': 'Acid Burns'}
Ground blurb The Mire Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Brassfen Thicket's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by equatorial rainforest conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Brassfen Thicket would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

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

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-096-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-096-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Metallic Amber harvest modified.
WX-096-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-096-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-096-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-096-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 9, Ashfall 12, Cold Event 10, Any Weather 15, Rain/Mist 9, Clear Sky 15. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 3, Cold Event 1, Any Weather 3, Rain/Mist 2, Clear Sky 4.

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 22 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 ten nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the seven positive nodes and a guardian present on the three 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 B096, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 096 Brassfen Thicket, K3V amber light, equatorial_rainforest environment, 0.68g low gravity, Verdania Collective 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 Brassfen Thicket, biome 096, equatorial rainforest, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. Brassfen Thicket sprawls across acidic wetlands layered with iron-rich soil and metallic vegetation. Plants exhibit semi-mechanical traits and steam vents pulse rhythmically from deep roots. The metallic ecology here is a planetary anomaly of uncertain origin. Terrain recorded as acid-rain-fed fen thicket. Dense canopy, bioluminescent undergrowth. Spores drift like snow. Life is abundant and dangerous. Acid Burns is the recorded primary hazard. Metallic Amber is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: emerald, jade, deep sh. The Verdania Collective settlement Brassfen Settlement is visible, with Brass Hollow and Iron Root Network 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, IMG01901 through IMG01920. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Brassfen Thicket, equatorial rainforest biome, [type], bioluminescent spore clouds, dense canopy, amber filtered light, Acid Burns environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
