Fauna, Truffle Foraging & Wild Groves Guide
Exploring lush groves and marsh environments uncovers rare wildlife, subterranean truffles, and specialized livestock yielding materials for mountain apparel. The diverse habitats added by Environmental—from expansive marshes to pine slopes—introduce realistic ecosystem dynamics featuring unique animal drops, aquatic species, and valuable foraging opportunities.
The subalpine highlands and pine slopes are home to robust, shaggy Yaks. These mountain bovines can be sheared or harvested to obtain 3 to 5 
Yak Hair. The thick hair provides versatile insulation:
- 4 Yak Hair craft into 1
Brown Wool. - 9 Yak Hair compress into 1
Yak Hair Block, which can be broken down back into 9 hair bundles. - 3 Yak Hair in a row craft 1
Yak Hair Rug. - Combining 3 Yak Hair Block across the top row with 4
Leather below crafts 1 pair of protective 
Yak Pants, shielding explorers against alpine chill.
Dense forests and pine barrens host graceful herds of Deer and cold-adapted Reindeer. Hunting these woodland creatures yields 1 to 3 
Raw Venison, which can be roasted in a furnace, smoker, or over a campfire into 
Cooked Venison. Both raw and cooked venison can also be scavenged from storage chests inside generated Log Cabin structures. Meanwhile, freshwater waterways and marshes teem with Ducks that swim across water surfaces, lay eggs, and drop 
Raw Duck when harvested. Packing 9 
Duck Egg items produces 1 
Crate of Duck Eggs, facilitating bulk transport. Cooking Raw Duck over a campfire, in a smoker, or inside a furnace produces nutritious 
Cooked Duck.
Aquatic environments feature lively wildlife that can be captured directly:
- Slabfish: unique bottom-feeding amphibians found resting on mud and logs in marsh waters, collectable with a water bucket as 1 Bucket of Slabfish.
- Koi: colorful ornamental fish swimming in quiet ponds, catchable alive as 1 Bucket of Koi.
- Additional wild fauna include wandering tapirs in dense undergrowth, as well as zebras, zonkeys, and zorses roaming dry plains.
Foragers exploring forest floors should watch for subtle ground disturbances that conceal a subterranean 
Truffle. Digging up buried truffle blocks yields raw truffles, prized culinary delicacies that can be consumed directly for rich nourishment. These foraging trips often lead adventurers to natural Log Cabin structures nestled within pine barrens, providing shelter while exploring the untamed wilderness.
