Inconspicuous Mounds are naturally occurring structures found in Savanna and Hooded Forest biomes and are the home to Trapdoor Spiders. They can be mined with a pickaxe and will drop 3 rocks, 3 grass tuft and 3 cut grass if the Wide Grass has not yet been removed. If destroyed, some Inconspicuous mounds will regenerate in random savanna locations.

Flat Stones found in the Hooded Forest will not have Wide Grass spawn on top of them.

Spawning Mechanics

Every Inconspicuous Mound has a 15% chance to hold a Trapdoor Spider inside. If the player wanders too close, the spider will spawn and likely attack the player. They will spawn even at Night, but not during Winter. Some creatures like Beefalo, Koalefants or bosses will not trigger this behavior. When a Trapdoor Spider has given up the chase it will retreat to an Inconspicuous Mound nearby. If the Trapdoor Spider gets killed it may respawn in a different mound than which it first spawned.

Tips

• There's a lot of Inconspicuous Mounds in the savanna but only a few are inhabited by Trapdoor Spiders. This can cause a false sense of security in the player and make it underestimate the danger of Trapdoor Spiders.
• Try not to directly step on top of Inconspicuous Mounds, because if a spider spawns, they will likely be able to instantly attack the player.
• Be careful when walking near large amounts of Inconspicuous Mounds, if luck is not on your side they might all be inhabited.

Trivia

• Inconspicuous Mounds were added in the Goodies Galore update.
