Aster (Fallout 76)

Aster is a consumable item in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
A purple flower from the genus Symphyotrichum. It can be consumed raw to satisfy a negligible amount of hunger with a medium dose of radiation and low chance for disease or can be cooked for additional benefits. When affected by a blast zone, it mutates into red hot bloom which will yield raw crimson flux when harvested.

Locations
Located primarily in the Savage Divide region and in the following locations:
 * Three plants can be found outside the East Mountain lookout, near the rusty jeep.
 * Two plants can be found northeast of relay tower EL-B1-02.
 * There is a small field of aster on the north side of Palace of the Winding Path.
 * Slightly north of the the Whitespring Resort fast travel point, bordering the road and paths.
 * At the Philippi Battlefield Cemetery, planted at several graves.
 * One plant can be found halfway between Prickett's Fort and Knife Edge, next to a telephone pole.
 * Many just northwest of Arktos Pharma.

Behind the scenes
According to the Vault 94 greenhouse terminals, the aster seen in-game is of the species Symphyotrichum cordifolium (common blue wood aster).
