Area
From Starbounder - Starbound Wiki
(Redirected from Areas)
Areas are features of open spaces, describing the vertical relationship with the nearby foreground blocks. This affects where Monsters may spawn, similar to Regions. The three possible areas are surface, ceiling, and air.
Surface
The surface is the area just on top of the ground. Monsters that tend to walk spawn here.
Ceiling
The ceiling is the area just below the ceiling. Monsters that tend to crawl or hang spawn here.
Air
The air is the area far from any solid structure. Monsters that tend to fly spawn here.
