Savanna
v50.15 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
Savannas are a mixed woodland-grassland biome, characterized by the sparseness of its trees - the unclosed canopy gives the ground enough light for grasses and shrubs to thrive. They occur in the narrow rainfall band that's wetter than grassland, but not enough to make shrubland or a marsh. The first few layers of savannas are soil (possibly including an aquifer), which benefits farming.
These biomes contain fewer trees than forests, although they usually have enough to get by unless you need large amounts of wood for fuel. They usually have plenty of murky pools, and often have brooks or even rivers. They tend to have less ore than mountains, but as with any biome, you can find some if you dig down a few z-levels and look hard enough.
Savannas come in temperate and tropical varieties.
