[Discussion] On Aboveground Geography

 - Also known as the area near spawn, it's a mishmash of grassland, sparse woodland and a savannah with rabbit holes.

 - Pretty much has got the basic resources and food sources down.

 - Being that this is the immediate area new players stumble upon, they make encampments here near the rabbit holes or near spawn

 - Usually found rather near spawn as well, large savannahs contain tons of grass and herds of beefalo, with a chance for spider dens to spawn.

 - They also almost always have a patch of sparsely-wooded forest turf as well, and may serve a a link to lots of other biomes.

 - Newbs base here too to use beefs as protection from hound waves.

 - Large swamps are one of the most infamous hostile biomes ingame, with merms, spiders and tentacles upholding the swamps fearsome reputation.

 - However, the reeds in swamp cannot be found elsewhere and you'll need them for birdcages and wicker's books, among other things.

 - Swamps usually have a branching path, with one of the two branches leading into "merm territory" - a nice set piece with lots of Pig heads on sticks, perfect for the survivor searching for an easy source of pig skin.

 - Swamps may vary in worldgen; sometimes they'll spawn right near the portal, other times they'll spwan really far away, but generally tend to the latter.

There are two kinds of birchnut forest, one with the pig king and one without, but aside from those differences, they exhibit similar characterteristics:

 - tons of birchnut trees, moleworms, mushrooms and fireflies with the occassional pig house, boulder and basic resource strung around

 - usually spawns rather far from spawn

 - Pig King Forest may or may not have a road leading to PK that also leads to Other Pig Village. PK forest also has Glommer Statue.

 - Pig King forests seem to connect to Mosaic biomes a lot (please confirm!)

 - Birch forests can spawn Klaus' Sack and No-Eyed Deer.

 - PK base is usually a solid choice to base for newbs and intermediate players alike owing to the plentiful food sources and vicinity to Pigs, PK and Glommer

  - One of three thick forests, filled with spider nests, trees, some gravestones and a few pig houses

  - in the middle of it is a Grasslands without any grass, berries or twigs - instead, there's more trees than usual, and mandrakes in the ground. 

  -  Usually far

  - May also have small patches of savannah and a herd or 2 of beefs as a result.

 - Aside from the moonstone and the usual accoutrement of a thick forest, this forest also contains at least 1 walrus camp.  

 - Usually very far from spawn, usually making up the tip of a world branch.

 - Skilled players base here to take advantage of the Moonstone and vicinity to Tusk

 - A heavily wooded area with lots of spiders, some gravestones and rarities of grass and twigs.

 - May have Small Pig Village and Small Swamp. The latter can be a place for Chester's Eye Bone to spawn.

 - Usually far to reach.

Usually demarcated by a looping road which may also lead to a molefield on another end, this is a grassland with the absolute limit of frog ponds smack within. The looping road is usually a place to find Chester's Eye Bone.

 - A fertile grassland with some bees in the middle and a killer bee nest or two guarding the Bee Queen. Hs some forest smack miiddle or somewhere t least like a Large Savannah.

 - A vast plain full of boulders and glaciers, with the only life being Buzzards.

 - A mishmash of biomes and turfs, with regular resources slapped sparsely throughout.

 - May have a chance to be populated with grass gekkos.

 - Has a graveyard, a meteor field (which is most likely to spawn tallbirds) and the critter den.

 - Usually spawns far from spawn.

 - Newbs draw near it, basing right smack in the meteor field. 

A desert containing buzzards, lots of cacti, Hound Mounds, tumbleweeds and the Dragonfly's Den. May be merged with the Oasis desert. Sometimes may spawn rather close to spawn, but usually tends to be far away. To note is also a small patch of Savannah.

 - A desert containing the Oasis, volt goats, buzzards and the Antlion during summer

 - The only biome affected by a sandstorm, also during summer.

 - The sandstorm grants smolder immunity, but slows movement without desert goggles.

A rare biome which is a mishmash of savannah, rockylands and grasslands. Rockylands especially known to have tallbirds. Biome named as such due to the presence of three Mactusk n Son encampments. Usually very far to reach. Evidence suggests it usually connects/is near to deserts.

It's a rockyland with a lumpy forest smack w ithin, and the rockylands have lots of tier 1-2 spider nests with gold interspersed in the sticky webbing. The best place to be if you're a webber main.

A rare biome which i do not have a picture as of yet, it's a patch of grssland chock full of flowers, killer bees, bees and grass. Run through at your leisure - bees cannot kill you if you stay mobile due to their nerfed range. Excellent source of stinger sand honey, especially for wnedy mains. It usually forms near Oasis desert.

 - The only islands in the game so far, with its own exclusive content e.g. Moon altars, Hot Springs, Moon Glass, Lune Trees and most importantly Stone Fruits

 - Hounds here revive after death

 - Your sanity turns into enlightenment here

 - Natural habitat of Shattered Spiders, Anenemies, Carrats and Saladmanders
