Ground

Less a place and more a thinking network. The Mycostellum Verge is a continent-spanning fungal intelligence that uses its fruiting bodies as sensory organs. Every visitor is catalogued. The network has been growing for a million years.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Mycostellum Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F10 Nightroot Conclave
Network Hub primary N/A F10 Nightroot Conclave
Thought Hollow secondary N/A F10 Nightroot Conclave

Settlement pages: Mycostellum Settlement, Network Hub, Thought Hollow. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F10 Nightroot Conclave Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F02 Verdania Collective All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F02 Verdania Collective (7 NPC rows). An NPC can belong to any faction and live or work in a settlement controlled by another faction.

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

Full table with IDs and node details: B085 Mycostellum Verge/Resources.


Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B085 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-085 Network Crystal SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-085 Myco Intelligence Fiber PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-085 Stellar Spore SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-MYC Mycite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-NET Network Ore Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-SPO Spore Slate Common Mineral Common
MIN-RARE-NET Network Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-MYC Myco Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 085 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 Mycostellum Verge:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-NIGH-085 Nightroot Yes
FLORA-CAVE-085 Cavemoss Yes
FLORA-SPOR-085 Sporeshade Mycelium No
FLORA-CAVE-085 Cave Luminweed No
FLORA-BLIN-085 Blind Root No — Protected
FLORA-FUNG-085 Fungal Shelf No
FLORA-ROOT-085 Root Siphon No — Protected
FLORA-CAVE-085 Cave Spore Ball 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 Sporeshade Mycelium, Cave Luminweed, Blind Root, Fungal Shelf, Root Siphon, and Cave Spore Ball. The harvestable cell says No on Sporeshade Mycelium, Cave Luminweed, Fungal Shelf, and Cave Spore Ball and No — Protected on Blind Root and Root Siphon. 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 Mycostellum — Mycostellum Core
Layout Crystal Maze Run
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Sporehorn — Deep Form
Ground note The Mycostellum 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 Sporehorn, Ancient of Biome 085
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Arcane
Arena Network Hub
Arena description The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Mycostellum Verge's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by subsurface cavern 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
Arena terrain Neural fungal network zone
Arena hazard Network Seizure
Unique material Spore Scale
Ground blurb The Spore Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Mycostellum Verge's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by subsurface cavern conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Mycostellum Verge would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Spore Wind and Network Rain. Those two names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-085-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-085-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Network Crystal harvest modified.
WX-085-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-085-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-085-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-085-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 13, Ashfall 11, Cold Event 12, Any Weather 16, Rain/Mist 13, Clear Sky 5. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 2, Ashfall 1, Cold Event 0, Any Weather 3, Rain/Mist 4, Clear Sky 0.

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 18 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero.

Nodes

Ten network nodes are recorded. Four are positive and six are negative. The node profile records dominant NEGATIVE, density high, base respawn 69 minutes, and modifier 1.15x.

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 four 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.

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 B085, followed by the ground description and settlement names already on this page.

Recorded overview prompt: ABERNON game concept art, Biome 085 Mycostellum Verge, K3V amber light, subsurface_cavern environment, 0.68g low gravity, Nightroot Conclave 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 Mycostellum Verge, biome 085, subsurface cavern, under K3V amber light at 0.68g. Less a place and more a thinking network. The Mycostellum Verge is a continent-spanning fungal intelligence that uses its fruiting bodies as sensory organs. Every visitor is catalogued. The network has been growing for a million years. Terrain recorded as neural fungal network zone. Underground networks stretch for kilometers. Fungal light. Memory-altering spores. Sounds travel wrong. Network Seizure is the recorded primary hazard. Network Crystal is the signature resource. Recorded colour palette: cave black, phosphor. The Nightroot Conclave settlement Mycostellum Settlement is visible, with Network Hub and Thought 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, IMG01681 through IMG01700. Each uses this recorded stem, with the type name in place of the scene type: AAA game concept art, Mycostellum Verge, subsurface cavern biome, [type], fungal light, cavern depth, memory-haze atmosphere, Network Seizure environmental hazard visible, Unreal Engine 5 quality, painterly, cinematic lighting, amber K3V star palette, alien yet familiar world aesthetic.
