Teraphyx (Island)

Introduction
Teraphyx Island is one of the many islands within the game. It is situated near the edges of the map. A hostile and dangerous place, yet providing important resources.

Location
Teraphyx Island is situated near the edges of the map, relatively far from the two colossal continents of Desert and Mainland. It's neighbouring islands include Spire, Plateau, Goldrock, Paradise and Flax, whilst also being near the Oil Spill.

Resources
Teraphyx Island contains an ample amount of useful resources that are necessary for advancing your gameplay. Teraphyx Island has 2 patches of forestry, containing a total of 6 Large Trees, 3 Apple Trees, 4 Small Trees and 7 Small Bushes. Moreover, the island has 3 bunches of carrots and 4 patches of wheat. The island is one of two islands in the game to have Clay (The other one being Spring), totalling up to 5 veins of Clay. Finally, the island also has one water source, holding up to 50 portions of water.

Wildlife
Teraphyx Island only has one species of animal present, the fierce and hostile Teraphyx (hence the island's name). The island is the only island in the game to have Teraphyx present, being the home of 3 Teraphyx, which are located at the center of the island, within the C-Shaped crescent.

Playstyle
You almost never see any player living in Teraphyx. While it has ample resources and a genuinely good location, along with offering you the ability to easily survive on a silver platter, many islands outperform it. The island is also one of the islands where players naturally spawn, adding yet another stripe of difficulty, as these players may mess with your buildings and items. Another downside of living on Teraphyx is the painstaking lack of any stone, a resource vital for progression and many buildings, cosmetic or otherwise.

A strategy players living on Teraphyx Island could employ is trading. With Teraphyx being one of the two islands in the game that have clay, alongside being the only one with Teraphyx, players living there could trade clay alongside Teraphyx Horns and Teraphyx Meat, both highly valued items.

Although, this advantage could backfire, since many Steel Age players are often looking to get their hands on Bluesteel, which requires Teraphyx Dust gained from Teraphyx Horns. If you're not sufficiently geared up and intimidating, they may choose to simply overrun you and get the horns themselves, instead of trading with you.
