==About==
 
==About==
Salem's world is made up of many unique terrain types or biomes.<br/>
 
Many of these are home to unique animal and item spawns, which are catalogued here.<br/>
 
Note that universal spawns (such as [[Flint]] and [[Smooth Stone]]s) will be omitted.
 
 
Creature and item spawns '''will''' also be governed by the level of civilization in a particular area.<br/>
 
Please see the [[Darkness]] article for more specific information.

<small>''AKA: plains, steppe''</small>
 
 
Grasslands range from wide, open plains to small patches within forests. They are characterized as being largely flat, with few trees, and vary in color from brown, to yellow, to pale green, to a rich green. At the time of writing, grasslands are the only terrain in which [[:Category:Creatures|creatures]] spawn, making them essential to any budding settlement.

== Forests ==
 
 
Two types of forest populate the world of Salem. These forests make for brilliant homes (or neighbors) as they are rich in mushrooms and inspirationals, yet often lack enough grassy patches to satisfy the determined hunter. This will likely change with time, as the developers create new animals or extend the territories of existing ones.

Much of Salem is streaked with rivers, lakes and pools of water. New characters will find they are a viable source of food via [[Fishing]], but note that deeper water requires [[Swimming]] to cross.

As well as the standard biomes, Salem is dotted with the occasional trail. These are brown, muddy-looking streaks resembling roadways, are of varying length and seem to be placed quite randomly. It is not known whether these are simply to spice up the landscape and act as landmarks or if they will have some other purpose in the future. Digging over one yields only dirt.

Three types of forest populate the new world. Forests make for brilliant homes (or neighbors) as they are rich in Mushrooms and Inspirationals.

Lakes and Rivers

Much of the new world is streaked with rivers, lakes, and pools of water.

Quarries

Quarries provide sources for valuable building materials.
