Recently we have been offered some ecology hints from the devs, to help us figure things out. From these, we know for sure the following:
Salt Water Fungus:
-- * Only grows near very large bodies of water.
-- * Sensitive to phosphorus (needs a certain range)
-- * Increases salinity in the area.
-- * Removes lots of nitrogen from the soil.
| Mushroom | Favors1 | Favors2 | Poisoned By 1 | Poisoned By 2 | Normalizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marasmius | Salinity (Any amount, but not very sensitive) | Nitrogen (baseline or more) | Soot |
Day/Night Cycle Ecology
- pH levels normally do not change in plain grass (Far from Flora) over the course of a standard Egypt day. Any shifts observed should be considered a deviation from baseline. (Based on short study by User:Afrah.)
Correlations between Ecology Survey Kits and "Spot Tests"
When an Ecology Survey kit is used and the squares are grey, the results are considered to be "baseline" or normal. When the results are not "normal" the different colors indicate where the spot tests will give different results. Multiple spot tests within the same colored area have given the same results. Tests for groundwater, pH and heavy metals have given up to 25 different colored blocks to be tested.
Nitrogen:
- Grey (baseline) is 100
- Green has been tested at 98
- Aqua has been tested at 97
pH:
- Grey is 7.0
- When I tested in a location that yielded non-grey results, the color changes indicated pH changes. Testing within one color yielded the same results. One ecology kit showed 25 different blocks of color, each of which yielded different pH values. Examples: 0.7296, 0.7550, 0.8594, 1.1714, 1.2314, 1.2698, 1.4952, 1.5552, 1.6880, 1.7482
Potassium:
- Aqua has been tested at 99
