“

The Knox Infection's final stage is one of violence.

— Kirsty Cormick

**Knox Infection** (commonly known as **zombie infection**) is a highly
contagious disease contracted only by humans. This disease is very different
from the common cold, food poisoning or wound infection. It is the main
catalyst and antagonist for the events that unfold in Project Zomboid, dubbed
the Knox Event.

## History

### Origin

Very little is known about the origin of the disease, other than that its
first known outbreak began in the state of Kentucky, U.S.A, with the largest
outbreaks specifically in the city of Louisville. There are several rumors
about the origin, such as; misfolded prions in the meat of Spiffo's, terrorist
attack, bioweapons testing gone wrong, and God's punishment for the sins of
Man.

### Initial outbreak

The exact date of the initial outbreak is unknown and estimated to be between
July 2 and July 6, 1993 (one week prior to the start of the game, on standard
settings). The military quickly set up an "exclusion zone" around Louisville
before it managed to spread further, temporarily containing the outbreak. At
first, the government portrayed the outbreak to be flu-like, causing panic and
confusion among the infected. The infection is known to spread through fluid-
contact: being scratches and bites.

Five days after the blockade went up, the WHO grounded all non-military or
-medical international flights, which lead to mass panic throughout the nation
and a disgruntled response from the President. The response and lack of
clarity from the United States government led to international leaders
condemning America, with the UK premier criticizing the President’s “near lack
of clarity”. A photo from West Point is leaked out of the Exclusion Zone, with
an image of a man covered in blood and bites, one arm missing, in a street
crowded with dead.

### Second wave

After 8 days, shots and explosions occur at the border of the exclusion zone,
catching the attention of infected civilians, leading to hundreds, maybe
thousands breaking through the blockade. Within two days, the infection spread
North to Louisville, littering the streets in dead along the way. As a last
resort, the military blew the bridges across the Ohio River, leaving those
left in Louisville to fend for themselves.

Something is released with the wave of the dead, as people begin showing
symptoms of the infection without coming into contact with any infected. The
Knox Infection quickly spreads throughout the U.S.A, causing a breakdown of
society, and even starts to spread across the ocean to Europe, Asia, and
Africa despite the WHO's lockdown order on American flights.

## Infection

Initially the infection seemed to only spread via fluids - typically blood and
saliva - and thus transmission rate was relatively low. Approximately a week
into the Knox Event however, it mutates and an airborne strain develops, which
then spreads much more rapidly after the incident at the exclusion zone border
and the breach thereof.

### Diagnosis

Those infected will suffer influenza-like symptoms for up to three days after
contracting the illness, and eventually succumb - after which they will then
reanimate within an hour after death.

The infection could also apparently be detected via blood tests.

### Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of the infection is never mentioned during the events of
Project Zomboid, though radio interviews suggest that infected individuals
become confused and fatigued prior to death and reanimation. However, it is
likely of viral or prion origin, as it’s mentioned to be “flu-like” (virus)
and Professor Peter Endsleigh draws a connection between Mad Cow disease
(prion) and the fact that the infection is “clearly a neurological disorder”.
There are no known cases of surviving the infection, and so therefore the
direct effects and immune response (if any) are unknown.

### Immunity

Whilst select individuals (such as players) are immune to the airborne strain
of the infection, there are no known cases of immunity of both, the airborne
and the contact strains.

## Game mechanics

### Infection

The game will never outright tell the player that they are infected, and will
instead develop symptoms over time. Therefore, if scratched or lacerated, you
may not be able to know you’re infected until the nausea and worse symptoms
start. Although some radio broadcasts mention the infection can be diagnosed
with a blood test, this is not currently a game mechanic. As symptoms worsen,
the player's health will degrade faster, which cannot be stopped and can only
be slowed by remaining well-fed, hydrated and absence of a cold.

Infection mechanics can be customized using custom sandbox settings, allowing
for adjustments to the speed of mortality and delay before reanimation.

There is no way to cure the Knox Infection once contracted, the only thing a
player can do is hold out as long as possible until succumbing to the
infection for good.

#### Traits

The time before symptom onset and death will vary between players, and is
affected by some traits.

Icon  | Trait  | Effect
---|---|---
![Trait resilient.png](/w/images/f/fe/Trait_resilient.png) | Resilient | -25% zombification rate
![Trait hypercondriac.png](/w/images/b/b9/Trait_hypercondriac.png) | Prone to Illness | +25% zombification rate

#### Symptoms

Time  | Symptom
---|---
Immediately  | Rapid temperature increase
1—4 hours  | Anxiety
5—12 hours  | Queasy (stage 1): slight health loss
13—24 hours  | Nauseous (stage 2): moderate health loss
25—48 hours  | Sick (stage 3): severe health loss
49—71 hours  | Fever (stage 4): terminal damage
72 hours  | Death: zombified

### Reanimation

Under standard game rules, characters who have contracted the Knox Infection
will reanimate within a minute or two of their death, and will do so
_regardless of their actual cause of death_.

Custom difficulty options can alter the amount of time before a deceased
character reanimates, reducing it to as low as near-immediate or increasing it
to as long as a one to two week delay. Another option can make it so that
**all** characters carry a 'latent' or 'passive' strain of the virus which
will cause them to reanimate upon death even if they did not contract the
virus directly from a zombie.

### Infection rate

It is only possible to contract the Knox infection by getting scratched,
lacerated, or bitten by a zombie. The probability depends on the type of
injury. Non-zombie related injuries will **never** result in contracting the
infection, though they may result in conventional wound infections if not
treated properly. Zombie scratches and lacerations can also become
conventionally infected without contracting the Knox infection.

Transmission  | Probability
---|---
Scratch  | 7%
Laceration  | 25%
Bite  | 100%

### Hypochondriac

The disabled hypochondriac trait will cause the player to occasionally get the
symptoms of the zombie infection after receiving a scratch, without actually
being infected. The progression is identical to the Knox Infection, however
once the 'fake infection' reaches its peak, the infection will dissipate as
the player begins to recover. The rate of recovery is much quicker than the
infection's progression. However this trait is currently commented out (as of
Build 41.65) and cannot be added to a character without being modded back in.

### Popular myths

Below are some commonly believed myths in the game, along with clarifications:

_"Survival from a zombie bite is possible"_

    Originally in older versions, as noted in patch 0.1.6a, there was a small 4% chance to survive a zombie bite. This was changed in later updates, making a zombie bite 100% lethal.

_"Recovery from infection through Rest and Nourishment"_

    This misconception might have stemmed from the hypochondriac trait, general food sickness, or confusion with wound infection. However, it is **impossible** to survive the 'real' infection once contracted.

_"Disinfection can eliminate the infection"_

    Disinfecting a wound post-bite does not eliminate the infection. Once infected, there is no known way to reverse the condition.

_"Preventing reanimation by dying prematurely (e.g., drinkingbleach)"_

    This myth is based on a bug in versions prior to Build 41.5 where dying before the infection could set in prevented reanimation. This allowed players to retrieve their possessions without having to deal with their zombified former selves.

_"Bloodied-hand zombies are more infectious"_

    While it may seem logical, zombies with blood on their hands are not more likely to infect through scratches. Such zombies usually have bloodied hands due to climbing through broken windows.

_"Infection risk from broken glass"_

    Infection in the game can only be contracted through direct zombie attacks. It's not possible to get infected by climbing through broken windows without clearing the glass first, although the resulting wounds if not properly treated can become infected.

## Trivia

  * Infection lore is heavily based on George A. Romero zombies, with some very minor alterations.
  * There is a secret government facility deep in the woods on the southern edge of the map which seems to have some medical and animal testing facilities and is a massive hotspot for the infected. Whether it is related to the outbreak or not is currently unknown.
  * Children can also be infected with Knox Infection and become zombies, mentioned on day 6 and day 7 on NNR Radio, and day 6 on KnoxTalk Radio, but Project Zomboid will never have zombie children in the game itself.
  * The entire planet Earth is infected and completely overrun by July 28th of 1993, according to Knox Event timeline, with currently only small groups of immune survivors remaining.

Woods.

The **Woods** were located south of the Suburbs and west of the Downtown
District in the 0.2.0r of the Knox County map. Made of mostly trees, it had a
2-story house with a barn at the southwestern end and a small woodcutter shack
at the northwest end, which belongs to the Suburb sector.

## Locations

### 1: Barn

A simple Barn with 8 windows and a 2 block wide door entrance. It had only 1
room and doesn't have any containers, so it wasn't really a good place to make
a base in.

### 2:The Farm House

A 2-story-high house, with a small toilet, a kitchen with 5 kitchen containers
with a refrigerator. The 2nd floor had 2 small bedrooms with 3 beds and a few
closets and desks.

**The Indie Stone**[1] is a small independent developer responsible for the
creation of Project Zomboid. Chris "Lemmy" Simpson, Andy "Binky" Hodgetts and
Marina "MashPotato" Siu-Chong established The Indie Stone in 2009, later
joined by Nick "Nickenstein" Cowen in 2011. The company first began working
together on small projects in their spare time, developing mods for The Sims 3
and Civilization 5, most notably the Indie Stone Story Progression Mod for The
Sims 3.[2] _Project Zomboid_ is The Indie Stone's first commercially released
game.[3] The studio has recruited more members over the years, especially
following the release of build 41.

The Indie Stone has also enlisted the help of Formosa Interactive, General
Arcade, The Eccentric Ape and previously Tanglewood Games to assist with
development of the game.

## Problems

The Indie Stone have been notably plagued with problems while creating
_Project Zomboid_.[4]

### Funds frozen by PayPal and Google Checkout

After The Indie Stone's PayPal account was 'limited' briefly, before the
decision was ultimately reversed, the team became "wary" of PayPal and opened
a Google Checkout account, which proved to be a much more popular purchase
method than PayPal. In April 2011, a month after the account was opened,
Google Checkout took issue with The Indie Stone selling "donations," blocking
new transactions and removing access to the funds in the account, which
comprised 80% of their income to date. Asking Google Checkout for
clarification, the team received only an irrelevant stock reply.[5][6] A day
later, The Indie Stone were contacted by someone from Google Checkout stating
that their funds would be available "soon" and clarifying that Google Checkout
offered a "pay what you like" feature.[7]

In May 2011,[8] PayPal placed their account "in a permanent limitation" with a
held balance of £4,454.47.[9] Developers Chris Simpson and Andy Hodgetts later
explained how they "didn't pay close attention to terms and conditions in
PayPal or Google Checkout," and that "the problem was selling a product that
didn't currently exist," leading The Indie Stone to instead sell "the world's
worst games" with the _Project Zomboid_ Alpha advertised as a free bonus.[10]

### Leak to public distribution

In June 2011, soon after the public release of _Project Zomboid_ as a paid
pre-alpha tech demo, the game was leaked, and unauthorized copies spread to
many other websites. [11] The unauthorized version of the game enabled
downloading from the _Project Zomboid'_ s servers with the press of an 'update
now' button, regardless of whether the user already had the latest version. In
order to avoid paying for these downloads, The Indie Stone took the customer-
only paid version offline,[12] and instead, released a free "public tech-demo"
for download the next day.[13]

### Theft of developers' laptops with source code

On October 15, 2011, the flat of two developers of _Project Zomboid_ was
broken into. Two laptops were stolen from the flat, containing large amounts
of the initial game code which had not been backed up externally for several
months.[14] This resulted in severe delays to the game development.[15][16]
Due to this setback, they gave a presentation at Rezzed entitled "How (not) to
make a video game", going over some of the lessons they have learned since
starting the project.[17]

    ![PlushSpiffo.png](/w/images/7/7e/PlushSpiffo.png)_This article is about farming skill. For fertilizers and seeds, seeGardening. For gardening tools, see Tools._

![](/w/images/thumb/c/c3/Spiffo_Farming.png/300px-Spiffo_Farming.png)

Spiffo enjoys being self-sustainable.

**Farming** is one of the skills, added to Project Zomboid in RC2.9, allowing
the player to sow seeds and create a sustainable way to gather food. Farming
is also influenced by the seasons system, meaning crops will yield more in
summer than in winter.

### Farming skill benefits

Increasing the farming skill provides additional information about the crop
status when the crop info is viewed (right-click -> Info).

At skill level 0, the player cannot discern much useful information about the
crop they just planted, and rookie farmers have to rely on visual cues about
the plant status.

Farming level | Benefit
---|---
1 |
2 | Current growth phase shows the name. Crop health becomes color coded.
3 |
4 | Water level becomes color coded and shows a bar graphic. Disease (if present) shows the name. Hovering the mouse cursor over the crop shows the water level.
5 | Current growth phase shows the number/7. Health shows a number/100. The water level shows a number/100 including mouse cursor.
6 | Disease (if present) shows a number/100.
7 |
8 | Next growth phase shown in number of hours.
9 |
10 |

### Increasing farming skill

_You only gain farming skill XP when the player successfully harvests a crop
they planted._ No other actions (watering, checking, digging, or planting)
give any farming XP.

Farming experience is gained based upon the crop's health divided by 2, +25 if
the crop is in good condition, -15 if it's in bad condition, up to a maximum
of 100 XP.

_**From CFarmingSystem.lua (Project Zomboid
directory/media/lua/client/Farming/):**_

    -- add xp, depending on the health of the plant
    function CFarmingSystem:gainXp(player, luaObject)
    	local xp = luaObject.health / 2
    	if luaObject.badCare == true then
    		xp = xp - 15
    	else
    		xp = xp + 25
    	end
    	if xp > 100 then
    		xp = 100
    	elseif xp < 0 then
    		xp = 0
    	end
    	player:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Farming, xp)
    end

### Why farm?

No matter how good you are at scavenging, eventually all the food on the map
will be exhausted. Once the power fails, a significant portion of the usable
food will rot and become inedible. You cannot continue to survive without
finding new, sustainable sources of food. Currently, in Project Zomboid, you
have four options: 1) Farming, 2) Fishing, 3) Foraging, and, 4) Trapping. Of
these, farming requires the most work, but also appears to give the most
rewards. Combining your harvested crops with fish or trapped animals can make
significant meals that will replenish hunger, thirst, and unhappiness
simultaneously.

### Step 1: character creation

This step can often be skipped, however choosing the right occupation and
traits can rapidly increase the rate at which it takes to level up the farming
skill. There is only one of each occupation and trait that will help with
farming. The farmer occupation will give the player 3 farming skill levels,
but it will also give an experience boost to that skill. This bonus _cannot_
be gained after the character is created. This is the same for every major
skill.

**Starting skill level and experience boost**

    Level 0 - 25% (Default for all skills)
    Level 1 - 75%
    Level 2 - 100%
    Level 3+ - 125%

Therefore, the farmer occupation will give a major advantage if the player
wishes to live their life on a farm.

**Occupations**

Name  | Starting points  | Major skills  | Description  | Notes
---|---|---|---|---
![Farmer](/w/images/6/6c/Profession_farmer2.png) Farmer | 2  | +3 Farming  | Can make Mildew Spray and Insecticide Spray.  | Usually not the obvious choice when creating a new character, but picking this occupation will certainly make farming more rewarding.

**Traits**

Name  | Cost  | Description  | Notes
---|---|---|---
![Gardener](/w/images/6/67/Trait_gardener.png) Gardener | -4  | +1 Farming  | Able to make the Mildew Spray and Insecticide Spray without reading _The Farming Magazine_.

### Step 2: collecting materials

To start farming at all, you will need:

  1. A tool with Dig Plow tag.
  2. Seeds (the more seeds and the larger the variety the better).
  3. Something that can hold water.

Additional items that will help to sustain a farm over long periods are:

  * NPK Fertilizer
  * Rain Collector Barrel
  * Walls
  * Composter
  * Sack
  * Gardening Spray Can x2
  * Cigarettes
  * Milk

### Step 3: preparing your garden

#### Choose a good location for your farm

  * Zombies can trample your crops. This will damage or kill them.
    * Players can safely walk over crops without trampling them.
  * You must plant in a place where zombies can't get to them while still allowing sunlight in.
    * One option is to build walls around the area you will plant in.
    * Another option is to plant on top of a second story where zombies cannot access easily.

#### Moving dirt (optional)

  1. To move dirt to your chosen location, you need to have a shovel and sacks.
  2. Equip the shovel in both hands
  3. Put the sacks in your main inventory.
  4. Right-click on an area with dirt (grass is a safe bet, but there is only one layer of usable dirt per tile)
  5. Click "Take some dirt -> Sack." Each sack can hold four (4) tiles of dirt.
  6. Right-click on the tile you want to drop the dirt on.
  7. Click "Spill dirt -> Dirt bag."

Repeat until you have enough tiles for the amount of crops you want to plant.

Note: You may want to put space between your farming plots to prevent the
spread of disease. See more about disease below. Alternatively, you can treat
diseases before they spread, without the need for spacing

#### Preparing the dirt tiles

  1. Make sure the plowing tool is in the main inventory.
  2. Right click on a nearby section of land, and then select "Dig".
  3. A patch of dirt with three furrows should appear.

#### Seed packets

If you found seed packets, you will need to open them. This will give you the
loose seeds that you will plant.

  1. Put a Seed Packet in your main inventory.
  2. Right click on the seed packet and select "Open Packet of…"
  3. Make sure your loose seeds are in your **main** inventory

#### Planting seeds

  1. Verify you have some sort of water in your inventory to water your seeds with. You will generally need 50+ units of water per tile.
  2. Right click on a tile you've tilled (a tile with three furrows).
  3. Click "Sow Seed -> <Crop Name>"
  4. Right click on the newly planted seeds and select "Info." Leave this window open to the side so you can see how well watered your crops are.
  5. Immediately water the crop by right-clicking and choosing "Water -> <Number>". It is recommended to water all crops with at least 50 units of water. Alternatively, players can sow fresh seeds while it is already raining.
  6. Continue watering in 5-10 unit increments until the crop info box says, "Well Watered."

### Step 5: growing crops

#### Watering

Remember to keep your crops in the "Well Watered" state. You will need to
check them at least once per day, unless it is raining. A watering can will
speed up this process significantly.

If you're low on water, you will have to hope that it rains often enough to
keep your crops watered. Placing Rain Collector Barrels around your garden to
collect rain will be necessary to make sure you don't lose a harvest of crops
and starve. Place them near your garden so you don't have to walk far to fill
up your watering can. If you haven't got a high enough carpentry skill, a
variety of water storage containers have a _rain factor_ , which allows them
to be filled when placed in the rain.

#### Growing time

Crops will take different lengths of time to grow depending on what seeds are
planted. The growing phases in the game are divided into 7. The current
phase's numerical value is visible from farming level 5 onwards. Crops can be
harvested in growing phase 6 or 7, except for Strawberries and Tomatoes, which
can only be harvested in phase 7. Seeds are only acquired when harvesting a
crop in phase 7. Once a crop reaches phase 7, the next phase is actually
"rotten", with the hours remaining visible in the info window with sufficient
farming skill level. See the table below for estimates on this duration.

Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and radishes share the same progress through basic
stages of growth:

  * Seedling (Phases 1 to 2)
  * Young (Phases 3 to 5)
  * Ready to Harvest (Phase 6)
  * Seed-bearing (Phase 7)

Potatoes and Strawberries differ slightly through their stages:

  * Seedling (Phases 1 to 2)
  * Young (Phases 3 to 5)
  * Blooming (Phase 6)
  * Seed-bearing (Phase 7)

Tomatoes also have different stages:

  * Seedling (Phases 1 to 2)
  * Young (Phases 3 to 6)
  * Seed-bearing (Phase 7)

#### Crop specifications

Crop  | Minimum water  | Maximum water  | Average days until harvest  | Additional days for seeds  | Required seeds  | Days to rot
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Carrots | 35 | 85 | 10 | 2 | 12 | 10
Broccoli | 70 | - | 23 | 5 | 6 | 10
Radish | 45 | 85 | 12 | 3 | 6 | 9
Strawberries | 85 | - | 28 | 5 | 12 | 10
Tomato | 75 | - | 24 | N/A | 4 | 10
Potato | 65 | - | 20 | 4 | 4 | 2
Cabbage | 85 | - | 10 | 2 | 9 | 2

**NOTE** : Strawberries when harvested go back to stage 2 instead of being
removed.

**NOTE** : Carrots and radishes need more water to start out: carrots min 80
in phase 1 and 70 in phase 2, radishes min 70 in phase 1.

The growing time per phase is configured as follows:

Carrots: 50-55h

Broccoli: 103-117h

Radishes: 56-62h

Strawberry: 103-131h

Tomatoes: 89-103h

Potatoes: 89-103h

Cabbage: 46-52h

#### Fertilizer

Fertilizing your crops will help them grow more quickly. If you use NPK
Fertilizer ![TZ IndieStoneNPK.png](/w/images/4/42/TZ_IndieStoneNPK.png), it
will remove 20 hours off the current growth cycle of the plant. If there are
less than 20 hours remaining on that growth cycle, it will immediately proceed
to the next level and the extra hours will be lost. Generally, fertilizer is
hard to come by for the large farms needed to sustain yourself, so it should
only be used in an emergency to speed plant growth when food is getting
scarce. Using too much fertilizer on a plant will kill it (4 or 5 uses).

You can make your own fertilizer as long as you have level 2 of carpentry and
some rotten food. You'll need to build a composter. Once you have built it you
can place perishable food that has gone rotten inside, usually it takes 2
weeks to get some fertilizer, you'll need a sack to get the fertilizer, and
then you can use it on your plants.

## Threats to crops

![](/w/images/3/38/Crops_Broken.png)

Trampled crops

### Zombies

  * Your immediate problem is the constant threat of zombies. Zombies can trample your crops and force your hard work (and water) into waste. Keep zombies away from your crops.
  * Players can safely walk over crops without trampling them.
  * Try to plant in a secure location and always check for zombies in your crops before turning your back to the crops.
  * Crawlers (the zombies that crawl on the ground rather than walk around) may go unseen in almost-fully grown crops.
  * Growing crops on patches with zombie blood causes the seedlings to become instantly "sickly".

### Plant diseases

  * There are currently three diseases in Project Zomboid: 1) Mildew, 2) Insects, and 3) Devil's Water Fungi (DWF)
  * These diseases will slow the growth of your plants, possibly kill them, and/or cause them to produce a smaller harvest than normal.
  * You can combat mildew and insects with a spray.
  * Devil's Water Fungi cannot be eliminated with a spray. In order to cure it, the plant must be dehydrated below 90% of the Minimum Water level. For example, a Potato plant requires at least 65 units of water. 90% of 65 is 58, rounded down. That is, 65 × 0.9 = 58. Therefore, your Potato plant must be below 58 units of water for Devil's Water Fungi to begin to cure. It will cure at a rate of 2 points for every interval the plant consumes water (default is 5 hours). Depending on the growth stage of the plant, if you choose not to build a shelter over the plant to avoid rain, it may be best to dig up the plant and start over. Or harvest it if it's ready, as DWF can spread to other plants.

Plants can be afflicted by the diseases listed above, and diseases can jump
from plant to plant within a 1 tile radius (including diagonals). Strawberries
have been reported to be particularly susceptible to disease. The best
solutions to keeping disease to a minimum are to treat all infestations as
soon as they appear. Furthermore, to either grow strawberries in an area that
is totally separate from your other plants (preferably enclosed within walls
and a door), or not to grow strawberries at all.

#### Plant disease problems

  * _Mildew_ causes your plants to mature more slowly than they would normally.
  * _Insects_ cause a growing plant to consume more water. Affected plants will need considerably more water and attention than healthy plants.
  * **Devil's Water Fungi (DWF)** is arguably the biggest danger to your garden since it causes plants that are harvested to give smaller yields than healthy plants. The only cure is to dehydrate the diseased plant by keeping it below 10% of the Minimum Water required for that plant type. DWF regularly occurs on plants that have been infected with either Mildew or Pest Flies for some time, so keep those two diseases under control and it should keep DWF to a minimum. Unless a plant is very close to harvesting, it is usually worth removing plants affected with DWF as soon as possible since the biggest threat is that of DWF spreading to your other plants.

#### Making plant disease cures

Either the gardening trait, farmer profession or have read The Farming
Magazine are needed to craft these items. Once a cure is depleted, an empty
spray can is available again.

### Plant health

When you sow seeds to grow crops, a plant's starting health is determined by
your farming skill. The higher your skill, the higher the starting health. The
health, as denoted as a percentage, increases slowly over time, unless
affected by disease or inappropriate water levels. Currently, radishes and
carrots have a maximum water level and thus can be overwatered, causing them
to lose health. Thus, it is recommended to grow these crops in an
indoors/roofed farm area, so that rain doesn't cause them to lose health from
overwatering.

The health of a plant determines the size of the yield upon harvest. Seeds are
given to the character when a plant is harvested during its seed-bearing
phase; this is the last phase of a plant's life, and appears after the plant
can be harvested solely for food.

Health levels from least to highest are: Healthy, Flourishing, Verdant,
Thriving (not a complete list)

Water levels from driest to wettest are: Parched, Dry, Thirsty, Fine, Well
watered
