'''Biomes''' are types of area on a planet, characterized by their terrain properties, [[Weather|climate]], [[Plants|flora]] and [[Animals|fauna]], [[disease]]s and special challenges. Each world tile has one particular biome. There are twelve playable biomes types in RimWorld, which can be divided into three categories: Warm, Hot and Cold. Oceans and lakes appear as world tiles but are not playable biomes.

During the world generation process, a world is created using a seed. A seed is a number or string used to initialize an algorithm. Each world is randomly generated using this algorithm and will consist of several different biomes. The world will generate an amount of the different biomes listed below with different terrain properties, including things such as height of terrain and rainfall. Once the world map is generated and displayed, the player can choose which of the landable biomes they wish to play in, each offering a different experience of play.

==Landable biomes==
  
−
The following is a simple summary of the biomes by difficulty, overall cold biomes are more challenging than their hot counterparts.
+
===Arid shrubland===
 +
A dry region, but not dry enough to become a true desert. Open plains with [[Wild_Plants|grasses and bushes]] give way to scattered groves of [[Trees|trees]]. Plants are hardy and there is a moderate density of [[Animals|animals]].
 +
====Season, Temperature and Plant Growth Cycle====
 +
* Season: Year-round.
 +
* Temperature: Ranges from an annual average of 20°C to over 30°C.
 +
* Plant Growth Cycle: The hardy plants of this biome grow well throughout the year.
  
−
[[File:BiomeIntensityDiagram.png|750px|Biome Intensity Diagram]]
+
===Desert===
 +
A very dry area which supports little life.
 +
====Season, Temperature and Plant Growth Cycle====
 +
* Season: Varies considerably. Can be year-round, or May-Aug.
 +
* Temperature: An annual average of over 20°C is possible. In colder climates this can plummet to an annual average just above 0°C.
 +
* Plant Growth Cycle: Growth can slow during autumn and winter.
  
−
== Warm biomes ==
+
===Extreme desert===
−
These biomes are rich in flora and fauna, and also have a slightly elevated rate of disease. They generally have year-round growing periods, or longer growing periods at the very least. Traveling speed is fast in normal forests and average in dense forests but slow in marshes and during cold seasons if they have one.
+
An extremely hot and dry area which is hostile to most life.
  
−
=== Temperate forest ===
 
−
Forests of deciduous trees interspersed with fertile clearings. Many species of animals move around among the trees and on the plains.
 
  
−
[[File:TemperateForest.png|400px|thumb|right|Temperate Forest]]
+
===Temperate forest===
 +
A friendly biome dominated by forests of deciduous trees interspersed with fertile clearings. Many species of animals move around in the trees and on the plains.
 +
====Season, Temperature and Plant Growth Cycle====
 +
* Season: Varies considerably, can be year-round or just May-Aug.
 +
* Temperature: An annual average of just above 0°C/32°F is possible, up to an average of 20°C/68°F in warmer climates.
 +
* Plant Growth Cycle: Depending on location, plant growth may slow during autumn and stop during winter.
  
−
==== Growing season, temperature, travel and disease ====
+
===Tropical rainforest===
−
* Growing Season: From all year to 20/60 days.
+
A thick, moist jungle. Dense overgrowth and aggressive wildlife make construction and survival difficult.
−
* Average Temperature: {{Temperature|25}} to {{Temperature|0}}.
+
====Season, Temperature and Plant Growth Cycle====
−
* Temperature Variation: From {{Temperature|35}} in summer to {{Temperature|-25}} in winter.
+
* Season: Year-round.
−
* Roads and Rivers: Yes.
+
* Temperature: Averages 20°C to 30°C over the course of the whole year.
−
* Movement Difficulty: 1, but sometimes 3 due to winter.
+
* Plant Growth Cycle: Plants thrive throughout the year.
−
* Forageability: 100%.
 
−
* Grazable: Only during growing season.
 
−
* Disease frequency: 1.2 per year.
 
  
−
==== Flora ====
+
===Boreal forest===
−
{{#ask: [[Type::Plant]] [[Lives In Temperate Forest::true]]
+
Northern forests of coniferous trees. Despite the harsh winters, boreal forests sustain a diverse population of small and large animals.

==== Fauna ====
+
===Tundra===
−
{{#ask: [[Type::Animal]] [[Lives In Temperate Forest::true]]
+
These mostly-frozen plains bear almost no trees and little vegetation. There are a few small animals interspersed with large herds of migratory grazers and their predators. Growing periods vary between May-August, June-July and never.

===Ice sheet===
 +
The surface is covered with sheets of ice which can be kilometers thick. There is no access to soil or rock, so there are no plants. The only animals seen here are migrating to somewhere else - or badly lost. Surviving is very difficult and dependent on unreliable hydroponic farming.
 +
Still, the inhospitable environment works both ways, human enemies rarely show up due to the cold, and parasitic diseases are very rare.
 +
====Season, Temperature and Plant Growth Cycle====
 +
* Season: Never
 +
* Temperature: from 1°C to -40°C in summer, from -40°C to -120°C in winter
 +
* Plant Growth Cycle: Never
  
−
=== Temperate swamp ===
+
==Unlandable biomes==
−
Wetlands choked with vegetation and disease. Dense overgrowth makes it hard to move around, and clearing areas for building takes a long time. Much of the terrain is too marshy to support heavy structures.
 
  
−
A more wet version of the Temperate Forest. Like in all swamps, diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require [[bridge]]s before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil.
+
===Ocean===
 +
Open ocean. Great for fish - not so great for you.

=== Tropical rainforest ===

A thick, moist jungle, buzzing with animal life and infested with disease. Despite its visual beauty, this is a very dangerous biome. Choking overgrowth, aggressive animals, and constant sickness are why some explorers call this the "green hell".

Tropical Rainforests are famous for having many diseases, including [[Disease#Sleeping Sickness|Sleeping Sickness]]: a slow-progressing, long-lasting disease that is exclusive to the tropics.  Many trees make it difficult to clear land and rapid plant growth makes it difficult to keep it clear.

A plant-choked, steamy swamp seething with parasites and pathogens. Much of the land is too marshy to build on. Difficult movement, aggressive animals, and rampant disease make living here a nightmare.

{{BiomeFaunaCell|Boreal Forest|Red fox}}

A more wet version of the Tropical Rainforest. Like in all swamps diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require [[bridge]]s before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil. Diseases are even more constant here than in Tropical Rainforests, so making a proper hospital and having good doctors is a priority.

=== Extreme desert ===
 
−
An extremely hot, dry area, devoid of almost all life. Searing heat and a near total lack of arable land make it very difficult to survive here.
 
−
 
 
−
The hot temperatures can cause problems for colonists and tamed animals. Its warm enough for growing plants outdoors, but it has to be done in stony patches around hills and mountains. Even though [[potatoes]] grows better in stony soil, you need to plant [[rice]] first so you will not starve while waiting for [[potatoes]]. [[Berries|Strawberries]] are also a good idea since there is no wood for cooking. Later [[Hydroponics basin|hydroponics]] can be used instead of ground. This biome has patches of soft sand which prevent building, but can be removed with [[moisture pump]]s. Animal migrations may occur, about once every other year.

These mostly-frozen plains bear almost no trees and little vegetation. There are a few small animals interspersed with large herds of migratory grazers and their predators. Animal migrations may occur once or twice per year.
 
−
 
 
−
Growing periods are generally very short or non-existent.

=== Ice sheet ===
 
−
Sheets of ice which can be kilometers thick. There is no soil for plants to grow in. The only animals here are migrating to somewhere else - or badly lost.
 
−
 
 
−
The only land possible to farm is stony patches around hills and mountains, but they need to be [[heater|heated]] indoors and also have [[sun lamp]]s. You will need to hunt, trade and cannibalize until you get a [[heater]] and a [[sun lamp]]. Later, [[moisture pump]]s can create larger growable areas and [[Hydroponics basin|hydroponics]] can be used instead of ground. Geothermal vents can be used for free heating. With so few animals here, any predators that roam in will become hungry soon and target your colonists and animals.

=== Sea ice ===
 
−
Permanent ice sheets floating on water. There is no soil for plants to grow, no minerals to mine, and almost no animal life.
 
−
 
 
−
Sea Ice does not have ruins and geothermal vents. [[Deep drill]]s cannot dig up stone chunks and [[moisture pump]]s will only generate more ice, which means it is impossible to grow anything on the ground. You will need to do hunting, trading and cannibalism until you get a [[heater]], a [[sun lamp]] and a [[hydroponics basin]]. It is worth mentioning that Sea Ice was designed to not allow colony building, only to allow traveling in the area, even though it is possible.
