Biomes - need info

[KotNaKacu]

I was looking the net (mostly wikia) for info about biomes but didn't find much.
So far I've got it 2 times. Both time died on 2 lvl.
How does it work? I know it have a lot of food and monsters. It is open spaced.
How many levels are there?
What happens when i reach end? I have to go back to lvl (lets say) 16 where i entered it. Or i will go to lvl 17 from nth lvl (n-last number) of the biome.
Any other important things about biomes?

I think I read biomes have 3 levels. I never went all way cos I rather go through normal floors for equipment finding. What I do is clear 2 biome levels and then go back to normal levels.

Biome, 3 floors. example level 10 find Biome?

go through all floors reach level 14 exit biome.

can go back up "Normal" floors but not to level 10 where you first started.

Don't enter unless you have Adamantium Claws and 3 moves per turn.

Psionics works well too.

Seeker is good to go there ;)
I have found out it can be done like this
Lvl 10 - regular room with 2 exits
Lvl 11 biome, then lvl 12 biome, then lvl 13 biome - then go back from lvl 13 to lvl 10 and go to lvl 11 regular. It is possible ;)

So far i found 3 types of biomes, forest, desert and snow. All packed with hordes of enemies and food.

I just found two exits at levl 18. Entered desert biome at lvl 19, 3 levels of biome total, exited at lvl 22 of normal dungeon. I lost most of my ammo, but found some raw meat and cheese. I wanted to backtrack, but at biome lvl 19 it said that exit is sealed. I cant go back, not through biome, and not through other ladder on lvl 22. I have to stay on this lvl and move on. If i knew, I would not go to biome in the first place...

[Apathetic]

That's the pit for you. You can only ever back track 3 levels. So by exiting the 3rd floor of the biome you blocked off the previous normal level.

In general I try to use biomes as a place to convert excess psi / ammo into food. If I don't have the excess firepower I don't use them as the normal floors are usually a bit more rewarding.

I usually even cleared just 1st biome floor, as food issues are generally solved by the time you find a biome.

Biomes are totally pointless and will make you lose.
