Decoding the Green Hell Flora: Plant Identification 101
Alright, so you've crash-landed in the Amazon, and you're surrounded by a bewildering array of plants. How do you even begin to tell them apart? Don't worry, even experienced players can struggle at first. The key to mastering plant identification in Green Hell is to take things step by step, and utilize all of your in-game tools to avoid mistakes, as wrong choices can lead to poisoning. First of all, the most basic tool you have is your own eyesight. While the game's visuals are amazing, take note of the plant's overall appearance. What shape are the leaves? What color are the flowers or fruits (if any)? Are the leaves smooth, jagged, or hairy? Does the plant grow on the ground, climb trees, or hang from above? Once you’ve gathered all the visual data, the most crucial tool in your arsenal is your Survival Notebook. This is your encyclopedia, and you'll be referring to it constantly. When you discover a new plant, you can examine it in your notebook. You may have to examine it a couple of times before you are able to identify it.
Once you've identified a plant, the notebook will provide you with valuable information. You can use the notebook to track which plants you've already found, so you do not repeat errors. The notebook details the plant's name, its uses (food, medicine, crafting), and potential hazards (poisonous!). In order to identify the plants you will have to experiment with them and get close enough to interact with them. If you're lucky, you can harvest and eat plants right away, and see what happens. However, you will want to get familiar with all the plants and their functions, so you can make your survival a lot more effective. If you're really struggling to identify a plant, don't be afraid to take a cautious approach. It can sometimes be wise to sample a small piece of the plant first. Keep in mind that some plants have multiple uses, and the different parts of a plant might have different properties. Leaves might be edible, while the roots are poisonous! The more plants you discover, the more the notebook will update to give you all the information you need. Don't be shy about experimenting. It's the best way to learn, and that's the nature of survival in the Green Hell. Another important tip is to pay close attention to your surroundings. The plants in the game are often found in specific locations. Some might be growing near water, while others like dry, sunny areas. This can make them a lot easier to identify.
