![]() You'll have lots of time to set up your defense and get into position before they show up. The thick snow that'll quickly cover the map slows down raiders to a crawl. It's challenging, especially in the beginning but once you got a decent colony running it's very rewarding to know that you wrestled it to the ground. ![]() That being said my actual favourite biome is ice sheet. You also end up with lots of wildlife and some rich soils for food production. The hills provide you with stone blocks and other resources for strong walls and smooth floors which give the best beauty bonus, can't burn down and level up your constructor when he's smoothing the floors. I prefer Temperate forests or Arid shrublands but building in the jungle can be nice and a challenge if difficult to build a colony there that can last for years.įor an easy time I look for a temperate forest map with a very long growing period (preferably the whole year) and small to large hills. It may not be worth it unless you want a challenge or for the risk rewards because of the terrain or because of the animals there when tamed. This is why i said a favorite in the past. Unless you're stockpiled with Penoxycyline which will turn it annoying at best. Sleeping sickness takes for days unlike malaria which takes for a few days but can easily kill an old or poorly treated colonist. Though heat waves are deadlier in biomes with permanent summer i think.īut the sleeping sickness and the increased malaria in the rainforest and the tropical swamp makes it hard to settle there and the movement speed in the world map is slow as a snail unless you don't care about quests. Though luckily it means that you can save parkas in storage and keeping dusters to keep off the heat. But have heaters just in case that if randy decides to throw in a Cold Snap. ) at the start.īecause it's permanent summer means you have to focus building air conditioning for the colony and the freezer. which is good for colonies ( especially tribals. ) though arguably tropical swamps or other swamps have more trees but they may not be fully grown yet. With the plants and trees, the teak trees grown naturally there because teak trees give you more wood than other trees ( 60 wood vs 50 oak tree wood. Because it's permanent summer there means that you can still grow in winter. In the past in A14 and some of the new Tropical-ly new trees and plants in the biome in B18. Need to make sure there's meat around or stuff on the map for them to hunt, etc.Īt any rate, I would love to hear your thoughts! I've never done arid shrubland, but I think I'd like to try it, just for the wandering Elephants alone. Plus the occasional Warg is neat, though they're a bit harder to maintain if you tame them. The Elk and Caribou herds are awesome for meat, and the mix of arctic and timber wolves are enjoyable (if occasionally dangerous). I miss the wild Boomalopes, but my thought is to buy a couple or to catch a lucky herd migration event or something. I love the atmosphere, the dangers that winters can represent, and the animal diversity. ![]() ![]() This time I started in my old favorite, boreal forest, and I'd forgotten how much I liked that setting. I liked it well enough (I started on it primarily to try collecting Boomalopes for their chemfuel), but for various reasons, I've started a second game. I've been playing again after taking a break, and my first game was temperate forest. So I'm curious as to what your favorite biomes are, and why? ![]()
