“That looks out-of-place.”

–Maxwell

Mosaic biomes are typically restricted to one per map (though they also tend to be rather large). A signature of the Mosaic biome is the presence of lakes (several small holes of ocean), identical to the edges of islands, in the appearance of a circular shape or other obscure polygon, along with sporadic patches of various Turfs, hence the name.

Mosaic biomes feature Forest Turf as their main turf, with small patches of Marsh Turf, Rocky Turf, Savanna Turf, Turfless ground and Cobblestones. This is the only biome where naturally-occurring Cobblestone can be found, which makes it a convenient option for collecting free amounts with a Pitchfork.

Naturally spawned Rocks and Flint can be found lying on the ground. Mosaic is also the only place in which Graveyards and Cobblestones can be found outside of Set Pieces.

Mosaic biomes would make excellent homes, if not for the uncommonness of signature biome benefits; outside of the occasional Tree or Boulder, it is rather empty and doesn't offer much in resources. However, it is one of the few biomes that can spawn Gold Vein Boulders, which makes it a reliable biome for early-game progression.

Graveyard

A Graveyard (or Cemetery) is a little piece of Mosaic Biome in Forest Turf. It contains numerous Graves (with and without Headstones) and often has Gold Nuggets lying on the ground. There are few Trees in this biome and occasionally a few Boulders.

Graveyards are a good source of Gold Nuggets for players just starting out. Any Trinkets acquired from digging up Graves can be traded to the Pig King for even more Gold Nuggets. Graves can sometimes contain Red Gems, Gears, Blue Gems, etc., but digging too many Graves at once will reduce a player's Sanity level significantly. Additionally, each Grave has a 10% chance to spawn a Ghost when dug up.

In the middle of the Labyrinth, where the Ancient Guardian resides, an outskirt of land reveals a Graveyard of graves in nice, even rows. Once the fight with the Guardian is done, one can help themselves to the excess of Items from shoveling up the Graves.

Tips

• In the Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked DLCs, Ghosts will come out of all graves on Full Moons, making a Graveyard a relatively dangerous place to be in.
• In Don't Starve Together, Wendy can safely base near or within a graveyard as ghosts will be passive, Pipspooks are plenty, and insanity auras emitted by the undead do not affect Wendy.
