Field Guide

The Field Guide is the browsable version of the Completion Log's item collection. Instead of a flat wall of anonymous icons, items are grouped by category and every entry is clickable — and, most usefully, each one answers the question "where do I get this?"

Browsing Items

• Items are grouped into their category buckets (Fishing, Crafting, Fossils, and so on), each with its own discovery count (for example "Fishing — 14/23").
• Click any item to open its detail: icon, name, description, sell value, any stat badges (heal / equip / potion / salve / dino gear), and its sources.
• Undiscovered items still appear as nameless "???" entries, but their detail still shows the category and source chips — so the guide can point you toward the hunt even before you have found the item.

Where Things Come From

Every item lists one or more sources — the ways it can be obtained. The guide builds these automatically from the game's systems, so it is always complete and up to date. Source types include:

Source	What it means
Skill action	Dropped or produced by a skill action (named when only a few actions give it, e.g. "Fishing — Lagoon Gar (Lv 27)"; grouped when many do)
Farming	Harvested as a crop, or returned as its seed
Excavation	Dug up at a specific dig site, or a skull from a biome's digs
Alpha spoils	A Trophy earned from overcoming a biome's alpha predators
Trail caches	Found in caches from winning expeditions
Dispatch	Loot from a named dispatch mission
Trading Post	Bought or produced at the Trading Post
Mark Exchange	Traded for at the Mark Exchange
Contract Board	Paid out for completing contracts
Villager basket	Gifted by a homestead villager
Homestead	Passively produced by a homestead structure
Quest	Rewarded by a quest chain
Amber Shop	Bought with Amber (some are one-of-a-kind)
Chronicle finds	The Echo of the Vale, the mark of a chronicle blessing (never a normal drop)

Every item in the game is guaranteed to have at least one listed source — nothing is unobtainable or unlabelled.

Creatures in the Guide

Creatures are clickable too, with a lighter detail view showing diet, home biome, and any earned field notes. A creature's biome affinity only appears once you have earned its Field Note — the guide never spoils the hidden-advantage system in advance.
