The quasi biomes like tropical and temperate are influenced by the temperature. Setting the variances of each biome influencing factor (drainage and rainfall) to the max will result in a spin-off patchwork kind of world, which is generally favorable, since multiple biomes increases the chances of a specific desirable trait. ![]() However, you might influence other factors by messing with their components, specifically sediments. Use the handy dandy chart on the wiki for them, and use weighted ranges to favor your chosen biome or biomes. Of course, this is all speculation, and should be treated as such.īiomes are fairly simple. Plateaus in elevation are of unknown importance in sedimentary formation, and potentially a coincidence, which requires further testing, but is entirely possible for plateaus to be a good indicator of sediments, as is the case in real life. Larger rivers also follow this rule, further debunking the involvement of rivers involvement mathematically, while still determining that rivers and sediments are driven by the same forces. Aquifers also seem to spawn farther away from mountains, thus bringing the perceived rise of aquifer to sediment correlation. They will generally be influenced by distance to and from mountains and coast, due to changes in elevation and the rainfall associated with the rain shadows along coastal areas. Beyond influences, an 80% chance for them exists in any non-desert non-ocean non-high volcanism biome. Elevation influences them negatively, with higher elevation = less sediment. Plains influence them positively (Possibly just drainage rainfall combos?). Volcanism influences them negatively (Known fact). There is also speak of: Rivers influence them positively. They're two of the embark things that nobody looks at.) - I've found this to be true for the whopping one time I've tested it. Sources of various old forums speaks of: "Plateaus" in elevation will spawn them (elevation, the colored squares from dark blue to white, not the 1-20 scale, which determines how steep the cliffs are. I will update this post frequently to correct errors and add more complete information on subjects. This probably has some spoilers in it, but nothing major. Each article touches on a specific component. ![]() Make sure you've got variances and weighted ranges under your fingertips before reading. ![]() There's probably other guides, and messing around with it a little bit will help too.
