You can examine underbrush to forage for items and practice your survival skill. Underbrush tiles can be foraged once each, regardless of success. They refresh when the current seasons comes around again, e.g. if you forage an underbrush in Winter, it will refresh at the start of the next Winter.

Note: underbrush spawns in forests, not in plains, there shrubs spawn.

Items that can be found when foraging

Trash

You found some trash!

Some items are less-desirable and may well have been thoughtlessly dumped pre-Cataclysm. A resourceful survivor can find them year-round, and repurpose someone's trash into treasure.

There is a 1 in 10 chance of finding an item from this list, not influenced by finding a seasonal item.

Gifts of Nature

You found something!

These tend to vary based on the season, and are unavailable at all during the winter (one reason the Sheltered start is considered challenging).

The chance to find something is your survival skill level times 3 + ( your current perception - 2).

  • Bird egg
  • Buckwheat
  • Heavy stick
  • Pile of straw
  • Reptile egg
  • Rhubarb
  • Splintered wood
