Habitates are annoying

[Felorah]

Habitats are frustrating—I can't place a single one on my island because it keeps saying it's the wrong biome. The whole point of a habitat is to recreate an animal's natural environment, so I shouldn't be restricted to a specific biome just to use one.

You might be confusing the habitats vs the vivariums! You should be able to place a Vivarium of any biome on your island and place critters of those biomes in there!

Anyone have any luck putting small animals in a vivarium?

No but actually they got a point here in the definition. An habitat is supposed to recreate the animal natural environement, and thus to make a non-habitable place suitable for them.
So we should be able to use them to make any biome suitable for any animal.

I get from a gameplay standpoint why that's not the case, to push players into exploration etc, but damn if that's not frustrating to not be able to release all the critters on my island to roam free. (they're all so cute!!!)

Any way we could either
A: in the island editor make a multi-biome island
B: use some very, very expensive end-game recipe (to make it still an exploration thing) to "graft" small enough islands to our home island, regardless of biome, to allow multi-biome on home islands (and on home islands only)?

You can already make an "island" composed of multiple smaller islands, linked by roots or w/e, and have different biomes on each. Check the workshop, there's at least a few.

I must have misunderstood the settings in the island editor then because when I tried myself, I could only select one biome for the island.
I could use the SHAPES of various biomes, with the grass colors etc, but the biome itself, which is used to check for animals and habitats? Only one allowed in the island settings
