Bones can substitute for sticks in some recipes. Bones may sometimes be found on carcasses of animals even if the player did not kill any. | |||

Reeds are essential for many early recipes. Cattails are common near water in temperate regions. | |||
Papyrus can substitute for cattails in most recipes, and are common near water in warm regions. | |||

It is very important to pay attention to the type of rocks that are nearby, as ores will only form in specific rock types. | ||
A nugget of ore on the earth's surface indicates more of that ore not far below, in blocks that need a pickaxe to break. | |||

The rainfall amount seems to be directly tied to the average soil fertility, as 'very rare rainfall' correlates with almost only low fertility (or non at all) soil, whilst 'rain almost all the time' translates into almost only medium fertility soil. | The rainfall amount seems to be directly tied to the average soil fertility, as 'very rare rainfall' correlates with almost only low fertility (or non at all) soil, whilst 'rain almost all the time' translates into almost only medium fertility soil. | ||

=== Weather === <!--T:23--> | === Weather === <!--T:23--> | ||
A region has a set of weather parameters that apply. An area of common rainfall might have higher fertility soil than a dry area, even if it doesn't rain for long stretches of time. | |||
<!--T:24--> | <!--T:24--> | ||
In general, areas that are more green indicate a larger amount of rainfall. | |||
Winter conditions depend on latitude, altitude, and precipitation. Snowmelt might occur later in the year in northern areas, or on higher hills. Lack of snow doesn't necessarily mean it's warm enough for crops to survive. | |||

Which animals the player will encounter is affected by the climate of the area. Creature spawning rules are tied to minimum and maximum temperature, as well as rainfall constraints, forestation constraints, and elevation constraints. | |||
