Swamp biome?

[Pig]

Is there going to be a swamp biome? If no, then why aren't you adding it?

Heh, my artist has been pushing for this. My main concern is that swamps in games tend to be kinda slow-going and a pain to walk through. What sort of features would you like to see in a swamp biome?

maybe it could have something that makes it worth going/living there, despite all the hazards, like a plant that only grows there and gives a good bonuses when cooked.

other than that, air-boats, alligators that hide other the swamp waters and come out to attack those who swim the bog, it being cannibal infested, with shanty towns, hidden black market place?

abandoned boats, mosquito swarms that give minor debuffs if hit by, you can attack them, with beam weapons like flamethrower and ghost-gibber being the most effective. lawless, lack of police means a good place to do criminal base. if being cased. moonshine selling bartenders. old ruins of castles. deep one cultists. wild killer plants that spit acid.

bee hives that give a bonus to plant growth but if broken will drop honeycomb and a hyper hostile swarm of bee's that's hard to kill. electric eels.

mushrooms that can create a lot of new effects when eaten both good and bad. maybe even a hostile fungus that makes people hyper hostile to everyone without the mushroom in their brain.

you can craft a raft that's slow but still safer than normal swimming. both a weak wood one and a higher level engine powered one with high mechanic skill.

- Airboat vehicle, maybe some kayaks if smaller vehicles exist
- Animals: Alligators, Frogs (maybe big ones for fun), Snakes
- Piranha infested clean water that slowly hurts you while in it(?)
- Muddy Water that makes you slow in it
- Little wooden huts with little wooden jetties
- rare fruit that's just obtainable here
- as for NPCs probably scientists, Fishermen (if they exist), cannibals, maybe cultists, maybe some rare occurance of zombies or even a swamp monster

I like that cannibal infested idea

maybe instead of just hurting you directly, the waters have small swarms of piranhas that move around. and they move to attack anyone whos swimming in the waters nearby doing low but really quick damage. so you'd need a boat or risk getting hurt.

with them chilling out after eating a person, you could push an enemy in and use them as bait to get past. but there's a lot of them so you'd still need to be careful
