2. 🌾 Grassland Terrain Analysis: Resources, Hazards, Survival Strategies
- ✅ Characteristics: Lots of tall yellow weeds and an open feel, lack of trees
- ✅ Resources: Abundant animals (huntable), good soil (farmable), good for livestock grazing
- ✅ Hazards: Very high fire risk, no steam geysers (no geothermal power), drought occurrence
- ✅ Difficulty: Medium
01:36 - 03:48
3. 🌋 Lava Field Analysis: Lava, Events, Construction Strategies
- ✅ Characteristics: Lava present throughout the map, similar tree composition to deserts
- ✅ Resources: Lack of timber, moderate number of animals (mostly small animals)
- ✅ Hazards: Fire risk, construction restrictions due to deep lava, special situation events (volcanic ash, volcanic bombs, lava eruptions, lava inflow)
- ✅ Construction Strategies: Possible to build a settlement using deep lava, methods to block lava outflow (build with non-flammable materials)
- ✅ Difficulty: Medium
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Volcanic Ash | The entire map darkens, mood decreases, breathing efficiency decreases |
| Volcanic Bomb | Lava fragments fall, creating shallow lava puddles (slow movement speed, burn damage) |
| Lava Eruption | Lava flows out of existing lava, forming a lake |
| Lava Inflow | Lava flows out from the edge of the map, burning everything in its path |

4. 🧊 Ice Sheet Analysis: Ice, Ancient Ruins, Difficulty
- ✅ Characteristics: Ice walls exist on the map terrain, the floor is covered in ice
- ✅ Resources: Cannot grow crops, lack of trees, moderate number of animals (slightly more large animals)
- ✅ Hazards: Cold weather, short growing season
- ✅ Unique Features: Ancient ruins buried inside the ice walls (useful rewards, dangerous traps)
- ✅ Difficulty: Hard
04:37 - 05:27
5. 🌑 Dark Forest Analysis: Darkness, Mushrooms, Work Speed
- ✅ Characteristics: The entire map is dark due to volcanic gas emissions
- ✅ Resources: Cannot grow crops that require light (can grow nutrient fungus), low timber yield, many animals (good for hunting)
- ✅ Hazards: Swamps exist (construction restrictions), reduced work/movement speed due to lack of light, cannot generate solar power
- ✅ Difficulty: Hard
05:28 - 06:23
6. 💀 Scarland Analysis: Pollution, Disease, Toxic Rain
- ✅ Characteristics: Lack of soil, polluted terrain
- ✅ Resources: Can grow crops year-round, polluted trees (almost no timber yield), very few animals (many animals infected with the Scaria disease)
- ✅ Hazards: Animals infected with the Scaria disease, toxic rain (causes poisoning)
- ✅ Unique Features: Many ruins (early security, explorable)
- ✅ Difficulty: Hard
