A wetland is a type of Template:L, flooded permanently or only periodically. Generally they have an abundance of Template:L, including heavy, specialized Template:L-growth and a vast ecosystem. The landscape is very flat, with only occasional, small gradients. Template:Ls are abundant. Wetlands tend to form around Template:Lic coastlines, especially where Template:Ls meet the ocean.
They generally have a high Template:L table, meaning that an accessible Template:L is only a few tiles below the surface (and in occasionally unlucky circumstances, directly beneath the surface). It can be incredibly difficult to nigh-impossible to extract Template:Ls from these areas, making the long-term feasibility of a fort doubtful; it is recommend that an additional, non-saturated biome be selected as well. The stratification is often hard to ascertain, as it is difficult to penetrate the aquifer. Generally there are a few layers of Template:L and Template:L followed, eventually, by stone and rock beneath.
Wetlands with saltTemplate:L make habitability more precarious, as the aquifer and surrounding ponds are not drinkable. The water first has to be Template:L.
Wetlands are devided in marshes and swamps. The types of wetlands you will find are:
- Temperate freshwater marsh
- Temperate saltwater marsh
- Tropical freshwater marsh
- Tropical saltwater marsh
- Temperate freshwater swamp
- Temperate saltwater swamp
- Tropical freshwater swamp
- Tropical saltwater swamp
- Mangrove swamp
