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. The wave moves over all natural tiles, and seems to move independently of constructed tiles like walls and floors. Be mindful not to carve away natural walls and allow tide to enter your fort, and cause excess slowdown.

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.
