			In the Stars Reach Discord, Raph Koster spoke briefly about different species of grass, suggesting that the grass species will vary by heat and humidity. The primary difference mentioned in his example was the saturation of the color. Whether or not the physical characteristics of the grass species will be affected (such as blade width, length, thickness, etc.) is still unknown.<ref>Stars Reach Discord [https://discord.gg/DYtN7HAN4X Link] 3 Jul 2024</ref>
