Shrub

Shrub is a nature entity classified among Bushes in the game's Nature category. It occupies a single tile while influencing a surrounding area: its Area of Effect is a 3x3 square (9 tiles total) with the shrub structure placed on the center tile, so eight adjacent tiles are affected beyond the occupied tile. Shrub models are used as environmental objects and have visual variants tied to different factions.

Shrub placement interacts with construction: shrubs fit under a Double Platform, allowing players to build platforms above them without removing the shrub itself. This makes shrubs suitable for preserving natural coverage beneath raised walkways and platforms.

The Shrub was introduced during the game's Early Access launch. Subsequent updates changed how it is obtained and rendered: in Version 1 the unlock requirement was reduced from 20 to 0, and Update 4 added faction-specific appearances. Examples of shrubs in use and dedicated build presentations appear in community galleries.
