This article is about an older version of DF.

A biome is a biotic area with homogeneous features, characterized by distinctive Template:Ls, Template:L and Template:L. Your Template:L will find different resources depending on which biome they select when starting a fort.

Selecting a biome

Biomes are important when choosing a fortress location in order to understand your Template:L. Each valid embark location covers a single biome, and the biome's information will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

Understanding Biomes

Selecting a Biome gives you some ability to influence the difficulty of your game. Each biome has a different set of resources; the availability of Template:Ls, certain Template:Ls or Template:Ls, and sometimes Template:L is specific to a particular biome.

Any biome can have any set of Template:L; for example a Template:L could be Template:L, Template:L or Template:L. However, a named region (which is a contiguous area of one category of biomes, such as forests or wetlands) will be either good, neutral, or evil.
