New terrain?

Postby Stormie » Sat Dec 15, 2012 10:00 pm

Wiki stats autumn grass only grows in grasslands and badlands..

Wiki has NOT a thing on this "rainforest" type terrain ive found..

Looks nothing like the small splotches of "swamps" nore any forest type.. This biome also grows many things from ALL biomes it seems..Plenty of game too.

Anyone else ran into one of these?

Ahh okay , ya I found 2 new terrain types that actually are not on the wiki...

I guess one is the Oak Savannah and the other one looks like true badlands without all the cliffs lol..so I guess its just badlands, but looks nothing like the wiki..

ive come to the conclusion that there is NO limit to how many biomes can overlap, or be stacked. i have found both conif, and autums stacked literally ontop of themselves. and i would assume the above is just this.

the pic you poted is grassland over autumnal btw.
the autumnal biome extended beyond the river, and continued on as grassland. (so if you go into that green area, by the river youll find witches hats, chestnuts and the red shrooms there)

we built in a forest that appears to be badlands+coniferous+autumnal hehe, we have found tons of witches hats( i mean you cant collect them all) singing logs, wild garlic, i chased down a tumbleweed once, but only once, red shrooms, soft stones, chestnuts, basically everything available in all three biomes, is here, the ONLY thing related to all 3 biomes i have not seen yet, is a bear, and turkeys. everything else youll normally find in the other 3, are here! so these proposed new biome names i keep seeing, im almost 100% sure theyre not intended as new biomes, just either overlapping biomes, or stacked biomes. but nameing them i guess gives people a reference to what is stacked/overlapped. now i could be wrong, but i do notice that there are small gaps in this one(like theres a small band of autumnal in it that is the normal orangeish/yellow) and a small band (apprx 1/2 inch long on map) of badlands in it also. this is why I believe theyre just overlapped/stacked!


as to the badlands you mention above, remember, the biome has absolutely nothing to do with the terrain design. ive walked for 20 mins thru a badlands and it was as flat as a grassland, and ive walked through grasslands, that had cliffs so high i needed a rope to navigate them. so elevation in a biome, is only a suggestion via the wiki hehe. they all seem to range from almost flat to unsurpassable, somewhere or another :)

What's in that mini map pic is Oak Savannah on the north side of the river and Autumnal on the south side. There is no grassland in that pic.

Technically oak savannah is a grassland (in forageables and spawns), but we tend to use grassland to describe a different biome (it's darker green on the map, with brownish reds mixed in occasionally. They are definitely distinct in visuals, and jorb has promised eventually it'll have unique forageables and/or animals as well.

For comparaison: http://i.imgur.com/yTHy3.jpg

The area on the left is what we call grassland.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.
