This article is about an older version of DF.

An ocean is an immense volume of Template:L. They are often bordered by Template:L where Template:L can be found. Template:Les and Template:Ls also tend to form around oceanic coastlines, especially near Template:Ls. The land surrounding oceans also tends to have a high water table, resulting in Template:Ls close to the surface.

It is not possible to found a fort solely in an oceanic biome; some land is needed.

There are three varieties of oceans, based on temperature, which affects the sea life found there: Arctic, Temperate and Tropical.

Ocean Waves

Waves will periodically wash over the coast. The tiles will not get wet. However, if it washes over a staircase, the floors below it will be slowly flooded. This may be a good way to irrigate tiles.

Fauna

Oceans are an excellent source of Template:L for a new fortress, usually having tons of fish, and containing shell-bearing creatures like Template:L and Template:L.

In Template:L oceans Template:Ls can be found. Likewise, in Template:L oceans Template:Ls can be observed.
