Overview

  • Thistle needles grow atop tall pink flowers around Snackbar Front and must be picked one by one by climbing stems to craft arrows, spike strips and the Nifty Needle trinket.
  • Flower petals appear in the Picnic Table area north of Snackbar Front, where players can collect stray blooms and chop Hosta plants for ladybug armor components and decorative items.
  • Earlier guides map out routes from the Snackbar Ranger Outpost to key hotspots for grass seeds, acorns and weed stems, powering the Omni-Tool shovel unlock and construction of workstations such as the hatchery.
  • Daily respawns and Brookhollow Park’s vertical grass topology turn resource gathering into environmental puzzles that require players to scan the skyline for specific plant types.
  • Mastery of foundational harvesting—from grass seeds and grubs to acorns—remains essential for unlocking mid-game stations before moving on to advanced crafting recipes.
