Bonegrass

I've heard that bonegrass is probably going to be easy to find because it's in the grassland.

But the ksversary post states hard to reach biomes or foreign shores.

So the question is, Is bonegrass going to be found easily in the grasslands on the starting continent or not?

you're thinking bone-hurting grass

No.

As the summary says. Trust the summary.

When you says "heard it's going to be easy to find" do you mean a dev said it? If not I would just follow what the description says.

All the rare materials are supposed not supposed to be from the starting continent. How did they get here? Who knows -- but I'm going to try to find the NPCs who brought them and steal their maps.

But, in any case, they aren't going to be common on the starting continent. If it sounds like something that would be common -- there is probably something that keeps them from growing -- like a missing mineral in the grasslands soils.

The grassland steppe biome will exist on other shores. (all of the starting biomes will) When it does appear on other shores, it might be in a different climate band, e.g. shifting into tropical or subarctic. It will still be a grassland steppe, but the actual plants growing there will differ greatly than what you find at home, do both to the climate difference and the regional adaptations flora underwent in those distant grasslands found beyond far off shores.

Which is to say: The grasslands mentioned in the descriptions may not be your grasslands at all. But even if they were, Bonegrass would be hard to find because it's incredibly rare to find even where it does grow. It's rate of regrowth and spread is such that it's more of a "1 stalk of bonegrass in every billion blades of other grass" sort of arrangement.

Hope that helps! :)

I'm wondering how much of the flora (and fauna) of other lands can be successfuly transplanted. Cases in point are Tomatoes and Potatoes. They have thrived well outside of their original biomes.

So the real question is: How much better end product we get from the recipe if made from rare materials compared to normal materials? This is what really decides the value.

Snipehunter, can you give any estimation how much better (in percentages) bonegrass or something else is than a normal ingredient?

Can you take a piece of grass you plucked from the ground and replant it somewhere else where it'll thrive and grow some more?


10/13/2019 4:42:50 AM #11

Perhaps. You can do that with a lot of plants...

Can we assume that all of these rare KSversary ingredients can't be found on the starting continent, even if in the same biome. Like the Leatherfish description with only in "far off shores" meaning on islands and continents away from where we all begin?

In other words, only on the mysterious milestone islands, or future continents yet to be announced, basicly anything out of reach early-mid game?

Lastly, would they be part of the EP store, likely being in the crafting materials category with the rare quality x20 price as shown in the wiki?

Edit: Would the recipes be considered to be part of the patterns & techniques or the blueprints category, maybe even a new/separate one?

Snipe, are you able to give an idea of what sort of area gets covered by a billion grass blades...? E.g. Two/Twenty/ Two hundred fields of 'X' area each...

And, in an area of grassland, waving in the breeze, any idea of just how loudly bonegrass actually 'rattles?'

And . . . would any particular pet or animal hear this better than any other?
