Editing Earth Biome (section)

== Overview ==
The Earth biome is associated with dry and open landscapes. {{Icon|Earth}} serves as both the primary resource and the construction material for all buildings in this biome.

=== Construction ===
Buildings in the Earth biome cost {{Icon|Earth}} as their primary resource. For example, a [[Shack]] costs '''{{BuildingData|name=house_1|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=earth}}''' {{Icon|Earth}}, a [[Cabin]] costs '''{{BuildingData|name=house_3|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=earth}}''' {{Icon|Earth}}, and a [[Town Hall]] costs '''{{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=town_hall|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=earth}}}}''' {{Icon|Earth}} plus '''{{BuildingData|name=town_hall|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=stone}}''' {{Icon|Stone}}, '''{{BuildingData|name=town_hall|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=tools}}''' {{Icon|Tools}}, and '''{{BuildingData|name=town_hall|data=cost|biome=earth|resource=glass}}''' {{Icon|Glass}}.

=== Housing Upkeep ===
The Earth biome has a significant advantage in housing upkeep since {{Icon|Wood}} consumption is roughly '''one-tenth''' of other biomes. A [[Shack]] consumes only '''{{BuildingData|name=house_1|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=wood}}''' {{Icon|Wood}} per day compared to '''{{BuildingData|name=house_1|data=rate|biome=wood|resource=wood}}''' in the [[Wood Biome]] and [[Stone Biome]], or '''{{BuildingData|name=house_1|data=rate|biome=arctic|resource=wood}}''' in the [[Arctic Biome]]. {{Icon|Food}} consumption remains the same across all biomes.

=== Resource Production ===
All biomes have different production rates per biome and the table below compares key building output across all. Values in '''bold''' indicate the highest rate for that building in the Earth Biome.

{{Production Rates|highlight=earth}}

The [[Claypit]] produces '''{{BuildingData|name=claypit|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=earth}}''' {{Icon|Earth}} per m² per day in the Earth biome, four times the rate in other biomes. The [[Clay Crane]] produces '''{{BuildingData|name=clay_crane|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=earth}}''' {{Icon|Earth}} per day, also the highest of any biome. This abundance of {{Icon|Earth}} makes the Earth biome ideal for {{Icon|Glass}} production via the [[Glassworks]], which consumes '''{{BuildingData|name=glassworks|data=rate|resource=earth}}''' {{Icon|Earth}} per day to produce '''{{BuildingData|name=glassworks|data=rate|resource=glass}}''' {{Icon|Glass}}.

The [[Woodcutter]] produces only '''{{BuildingData|name=woodcutter|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=wood}}''' {{Icon|Wood}} per day, the lowest of all biomes. However, the [[Saw]] produces '''{{BuildingData|name=saw|data=rate|resource=wood}}''' {{Icon|Wood}} per day regardless of biome, providing a consistent alternative at the cost of '''{{BuildingData|name=saw|data=rate|resource=tools}}''' {{Icon|Tools}} per day.

The [[Foraging Hut]] produces '''{{BuildingData|name=foraging_hut|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=food}}''' {{Icon|Food}}, '''{{BuildingData|name=foraging_hut|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=wood}}''' {{Icon|Wood}}, and '''{{BuildingData|name=foraging_hut|data=rate|biome=earth|resource=stone}}''' {{Icon|Stone}} per day in the Earth biome, offering a small but diversified resource output.
