This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Forests are biomes which are characterised by extremely dense tree growth and large numbers of murky pools.

There are many types of forest, but the main difference between them is the wildlife that inhabits the area. Elves build their homes, known as forest retreats, in any type of forest.

Particularly dense forests may have so many trees that, in order for wagons to arrive, you will need to cut a path to the edge of the map. Building a road along this path will prevent trees regrowing and blocking the way. Trees are listed along the wildlife. There are only three kind of trees that are specific to the alignment of the forest. These are Feather tree (good), Glumprong (evil), and Highwood (savage).

The six types of forests you will find are:

  • Taiga
  • Temperate broadleaf forest
  • Temperate coniferous forest
  • Tropical dry broadleaf forest
  • Tropical moist broadleaf forest
  • Tropical coniferous forest

Taigas and tropical forests are situated in harsh climates, and acquiring water there can become a challenge.
