Biome List

Glacier biomes (if they are implemented) should be able to melt or break off from the rest of the biome.

I'm the world's smartest cat, yet I still can't come up with a good signature.

Grammar, ain't no smart cat got time for dat! :cat:

If a tropical rainforest is possible I mean like the amazon rainforest not a wetland, here's my idea for it: I am sorry if this has been talked about, tropical rainforests like the amazon weren't on the biome list.

occurs: wherever there are tropical-humid conditions
resources: lumber many plants (possibly used for medicine) poor soil water
elevation: Sorry couldn't get that, help me finish
climate: hot and wet
topography: can be flat or hilly
biodiversity: 3
autotroph niches: tiny to huge
heterotroph niches: tiny to mid-large
+
other: has multiple layers The undergrowth in some areas of a rainforest can be restricted by poor penetration of sunlight to ground level. If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned, the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense, tangled growth of vines, shrubs and small trees, called a jungle. I got most this from Wikipedia

This would be cool biome to see, if implemented:!:

Yes, obviously tropical rainforests have already been suggested as a biome. However, more importantly, biomes will be procedurally generated (correct me if I'm wrong) based off of ~scio's latest concept, so more brainstorming is unnecessary.

Also, please try to avoid multiposting. Use edits to change previous posts if you want.

Astreoid(if in microbe stage you are in space when you evolve to multicellular you smash on the planet,When you are in further stages you are able to mine it)
occurs:on large enough astreoid to be able to generate life inside.(Random)
resources:Iridium,Molten rocks(When it crashes),Water,Ice,Other minerals
elevation:from 500 below sea level to 5000 above(depends on where it crashes)
climate:Depends on where it crashes.While in space it is cold as anyone's guess
topography:you are in cold ball of water and ice
biodiversity:only the toughest microbes and extremofiles
autotroph niches:microbes
heterotroph niches:microbes

Wow. How will this work?

Apparently, you missed everything I just said right before you, since I said we do not need to brainstorm biomes.

Well, considering this is the Biome subforum, maybe you should give it a look yourself.

I am sorry.I didnt saw what you said.But can i still post other biome suggestions?

Question before I work on coming up with a biome. As long as we fill in the blanks the biome won't have to be realistic they could be other worldly. Because I have an idea for one, but its really out there because there's not one like it on earth.

Could a slat flat be a possible desert type biome?

Edit: Crap, didn't see your post about the new system. Anyways, would something similar to a salt flat be possible in such system, or would it be determined by other factors?

Well, we're going to be isolating specific factors that compose biomes, so I'm sure that all possible known biomes will be included because they are all some combination of those environmental factors.
