How to Use Cattails and Dead Grass for Wetland Builds

Finding Cattails and Dead Grass

Cattails grow in shallow water in Terrestria's swamps and marshes. Dead Grass appears in dry, sandy, or volcanic areas. Both are simple plants you can break by hand. Cattails can be replanted on dirt or sand adjacent to water. Dead Grass can be placed on sand, dirt, or Andisol.

Building a Wetland Scene

1. Dig a shallow pond or use an existing swamp.

2. Line the edges with Andisol or mud.

3. Plant Cattails in the water at the shoreline.

4. Scatter Dead Grass on the drier banks.

5. Add Cypress Logs and Cypress Planks for boardwalks and docks.

6. Use Cypress Fence and Cypress Fence Gate around the water for a natural barrier.

Decorative Uses

Cattails add height and movement to ponds. Dead Grass gives a dry, weathered look to deserts and volcanic slopes. Combine them with Agave and Aloe Vera for a desert oasis. You can also use Cattails in flower pots for indoor decoration. If you are building a swamp hut, place Cattails around the stilts and use Cypress Hanging Signs for a rustic shop sign. Both plants are renewable if you replant them after harvesting.
