Ambient objects

Throughout most biomes and layers, various ambient objects are randomly scattered on world creation. These are naturally-placed background objects that can be broken with a pickaxe or drill, but otherwise cause no effects, and do not drop items. They function primarily as visual ambiance and cannot be collected or placed by players, and unlike several other naturally-generating objects, cannot be crafted with the help of Ecto Mist. They also do not regenerate over time, with the exception of icicles.

Destroying ambient objects on the Surface or in the Underground Jungle has a chance to spawn various bait critters (Worm, Grasshopper, Grubby, Sluggy, or Buggy) that can be collected with a Bug Net.
