This article is about an older version of DF.

Flatland Template:Ls form in areas with low to moderate rainfall and moderate drainage. In order of increasing rainfall, they include grasslands, savannas, and shrublands. They come in Template:L and Template:L varieties.

Template:Ls often build towns in flatlands.

Resources

Flatlands contain fewer Template:Ls than forests, although they usually have enough to get by unless you need large amounts of wood for Template:L. They are covered in Template:L, and other Template:Ls are plentiful. Temperate grasslands are notable as the only source of Template:Ls.

Flatlands have one or more Template:L Template:Ls, possibly including an Template:L. They usually have plenty of Template:Ls, and often have Template:Ls or even Template:Ls (with their associated Template:L). They tend to have less Template:L than Template:Ls, but as with any biome, you can find some if you dig down a few Template:Ls and look hard enough.

Creatures

Flatlands have a very diverse natural population. Fortresses built on flatlands should take advantage of the wildlife, and players might even consider establishing a ranch.
