Biome Ideas

[Innis]

I'm interested in making a mod to add more biomes and sub-biomes to the surface world. Maybe that won't pan out, I only have about a month to work on it, but even if it doesn't I figure maybe our friends at Klei will consider adding some of this stuff? I couldn't decide whether to put it in Modding or Suggestions, so I decided to kind of split the difference and put it here because this seems like kind of the busiest forum. I hope that's okay--if not, I guess I'll ask a mod to move it!

 

Remember, this thread is for surface biome ideas. I think the Caves and Ruins have plenty of stuff, and underwater/highland/dreamworld/cloudland exploration is another set of ideas for another set of threads, okay?

 

BIOMES

 

Hound Country - Like that one island in Archipelago, this land has the default turf and is covered in bones, Hounds, and Hound Mounds, with some boulders.

 

Tallbird Cliffs - This is just the Tallbird Fort except made larger and less rare.

 

Beach - New Sandy turf, generates around the Ocean. Maybe also generates Ponds that don't spawn frogs? Crabs live here; they drop morsels and/or bits of crab shell that can be crafted into a helmet. Maybe occasional snurtles and slurtles and slurtle mounds. Use a shovel to dig up clams from little holes in the ground that squirt water in the air as you approach.

 

Wormhole Colony - Grassy turf and a lot of wormholes. Maybe some with hidden entrances on the other end, so they can only be used one-way? I dunno.

 

Desert - New Sandy turf. Jackalopes, occasional Hound Mounds? Snakes? Armadillos? I dunno.

I'd also love to see new creature ideas, like hotflungwok posted in the DLC ideas thread?

 

I wanna see more portmanteaus.  We've already got Merms, Pigmen, Bunnymen, Koalaphants, Snurtles, Pengulls, um... do Rock Lobsters count?

 

Squizard?  Squid + Lizard

Allamagator?  Llama + Alligator

Hammerhead Giraffe?  Shark + Giraffe

Owlocerous?  Owl+ Rhinocerous

Chimpmoose?  Chipmunk + Goose
