Different Biomes

[Nomado-Coyote]

So, I've been only playing my first expedition for a while. random still generated the default classic meadows biome (or whatever it's called sorry). but I was genuinely curious if I could visit the desert and the swamp in the same game. but so far it seems I can't?
so genuinely the game is wired the way, that each playthrough is tied down to the biome that you've started at and a limited usable land space. and balloon expeditions are just a mechanic, that's it? to explore different biomes I need to create different saves/games. correct?

Correct. Each game you have access to a section of a specific biome. Your seed determines what part of that biome you're located at.
With the current mechanics you can however build multiple settlements on your designated seed. Which in itself is a nice challenge to build and staff.

what mechanics exactly do you mean for multiple settlements? so far I haven't even been able to move faster than on my feet, which sucks. and work zones are meh. I've found a teleporter mod though :"D

such a shame though that you can't combine several unique features from different biomes in the same playthrough :) I mean, I know and feel it's not designed that way. but that would be so fun for long/endless playthroughs and hoarding and getting a big base with various resources and animals etc :) but yeah, it's also fun for the replayability for sure :)

At most in the trade scenario you can get the option to purchase the other maps plant species. Other than that your stuck with the biome type you chose at the start.
