Ground

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.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F03 Skyreach Covenant Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.

NPCs here from other factions: F05 Riftwalker Brotherhood (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: B052 Starfall Basin/Resources.


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
SEC-052 Impact Resin SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-MET Meteorite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-STA Star Ore Common Mineral Common

MIN-RARE-STA Starfall Crystal Rare Mineral Rare
MIN-RARE-IMP Impact Glass Rare Mineral 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.

Field Value
Boss Starhorn, Ancient of Biome 052
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Frost
Arena Impact Basin
Arena 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
Arena terrain Impact-crater alpine basin
Arena hazard Crater Rim Shockwave Ejection
Unique material Wind Scale
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-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.

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.
