Bone

Bone is a collectible item obtained mainly from wildlife and bone piles. Hunting Bush Devils, Crocos, Diggos, Frillys, Glowing Crocos, Jackaroos, Kidnas, Mus, Scrub Turkeys, and Wary Mus can drop Bones when defeated. Bones can also be picked up after wild animals attack each other and leave behind remains.

Bones are also found as natural bone piles in the desert and in animal dens. These natural piles do not respawn, so once they are collected they are gone for good. A Bone can also be buried to create an artificial bone pile, giving the player a way to produce the same type of resource on demand.

Bone piles are especially useful for getting Desert Roses. Placing an empty Flower Bed or Pot over a naturally generated bone pile will produce a Desert Rose. If the bone pile was created by the player, the flower only appears after sleeping. This makes Bone a useful item for setting up repeatable desert flower production, although the natural source remains limited.

Bones can also be used in crafting and processing, as shown by their usage entries, but the main practical value of the item is in gathering Desert Roses and in collecting materials from hunting and desert exploration. Because several animal species can drop Bones, they are most efficiently gathered while hunting or while traveling through areas where wild animals fight each other.
