Details
   |
A detail appears as a separate icon over the underlying terrain color. There can only be one detail in any location. For example, if there is a plant or ruins or hut in your current location, then you cannot construct a signpost. Heavy jungle conceals details. If you chop down enough jungle to reveal a fruit plant, hut, or other detail, you receive an XP reward.
Fruit plants
     |
All fruit plants have unique icons except berry bushes. Tasty berry bushes and poisonous berry bushes appear identical. A search at a location with a plant is an attempt to search specifically for that sort of fruit or berry, not an attempt to search the surrounding jungle for other items. Either you find a ripe fruit or berry or you do not, but you cannot find a non-fruit where a fruit tree or bush stands.
It is unknown whether different fruit plants have different find rates. It is unknown whether the density of the jungle affects the find rate (some believe that clearing the jungle slightly increases the find rate). Please submit data to Search odds condensed.
- Search cost: 1 AP
- Approx find rates (55%): fruit/berry (55%)
Berry bushes
Outsiders see "a bush covered in berries." For natives (or outsiders with Native Knowledge), the bush is revealed as either a tasty berry bush ("a leafy bush covered in berries") where each berry heals 2 HP or a poisonous berry bush ("a thorny bush covered in berries") where each berry inflicts 2 HP damage. This information can also be gleaned by eating a berry. Searching provides a ready source of berries.

Ruins
Ruins complexes (one or more buildings with multi-space interiors)
