Grass is the baseline scouting biome: use it to stabilize food, read animal density, and decide whether the run is safe enough to specialize.
Run checklist
- Treat early grass routes as information gathering, not proof the build is already strong.
- Pick food and movement before forcing rare branch paths.
- Use safer prey and POIs to reach the first real build decision.
- For collection runs, record animal sightings by biome so Full House attempts become repeatable.

Snow is a route-stress biome: blizzards, slow scouting, and visibility pressure make movement and recovery more valuable.
