<label>Harvest</label> <label>Repair</label> </group> </group> </infobox> A Scrub Brush is a type of plant that can be harvested for useful materials.

Overview

Scrub brushes are used for harvesting Sticks. Two harvestable types of brush exist in the game. The first (pictured above), yields seven sticks per bush, and the second can yield a dozen. The first type be harvested by hand or with a Hatchet, while the latter requires a Hatchet and may act as a barrier until broken down.

Harvesting

Hand

20 minutes; 41 calories

Hatchet

10 minutes; 21 calories

Characteristics

The following information should generally help with identifying and distinguishing between the useful and the useless:

Scrub Brush

Dark bark
Snow-covered tips
Small number of thick branches
Can be somewhat uncommon
Has a 3D model, which is easy to identify

False Scrub Brush

Light bark
Entire branches may bear light patches of snow or frost
Clusters of numerous small, short branches
Very common
Cannot be harvested; currently serve no purpose other than filling out scenery
Made of 2D planar shapes, arranged in a star

Locations

One can be found near the back door to the Camp Office in Mystery Lake
One can be found near the front door to the Trapper's Homestead in Mystery Lake
Found in abundance throughout the Forlorn Muskeg, Bleak Inlet, Hushed River Valley, and Ash Canyon regions

Scrub Brush Patches

Another type of harvestable Scrub Brush acts as a physical obstacle and requires a Hatchet to break down. Beware that some direct paths will be impassable without a hatchet to remove obstructing brush. Harvesting one patch of this type of Scrub Brush will generate 12 sticks after spending 18 minutes using a Hatchet.

Hushed River Valley, Bleak Inlet, Blackrock, and Ash Canyon contain these types of Brush patches.
