"A tough ornamental grass, suitable for growing in all biomes, soil types, and weather conditions. This variety, like its taller cousin, is characterised by long hirsute blades - but grows more densely, with slightly heftier blades." |
Short Spikegrass (Extremograminus stivaros) is a species of spikegrass. It has been cultivated for use as an ornamental species by the Travellers aboard the Space Anomaly.
Description[]
Being a cultivar of an unknown species of wild spikegrass, the short spikegrass has been specifically adapted to be suitable for growth in all biomes, soil types, and under any weather condition, making it a polyextremophile. They are characterized by their long, hairy bladed leaves, but unlike their cousin the tall spikegrass, they sport slightly heftier blades. They grow in more densely-packed tufts when compared to their cousins, as well.
Behind the scenes[]
Short Spikegrass is an unlockable ornamental building item that was originally unlocked by the player community via weekly contributions tier rewards. It can be purchased from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly for 500 Quicksilver. It serves no other purpose but to "beautify" a player's base. When used in building, it requires 40 carbon to construct.
