Biomes: Where to find differnet types.

[ColonialFungus]

Title says it all, where can I find different Biome types, So far I have only seen the Ice caves and an occasional glimpse of lava vents, but haven't seen a significant difference in biome types, do I have to go deeper or were biomes taken out to be added at a later date?

Added at later date, pretty sure next update.

each of the rings of the map has different depths, lengths, fauna/flora balance so technically they are different biomes already but as they all use the same textures its kinda hard to tell. there are more lava events in the interior

as dimsim says there is a biomes overhaul coming which looks much more diverse and pretty from the few teaser pics i've seen

next update is for the outposts and campaign so far so it'll be at after that one.

They'll work on it after the next major update or so.

"New design will include an FTL style 'shrinking map' system and better incorporate and communicated depth and biomes.

Art will be completely overhauled to produce a more attractive and engaging look and feel."

didn't know about the 'shrinking map', not sure i'm a fan of that idea, i feel like it limits the potential for different kinds of gameplay. i quite like working in and out of the central zones and was looking forward to expanded map/economics opening up the game for mods to expand on that idea which may be negated if there is hard coded map shrinking to funnel down the campaign path.

i mean i get why campaign needs more focus... but Baro is pretty open how it can be payed just now, would be a shame to lose the option to expand on that.

@Dimsim where that quote came from?

EDIT: ah right its from the trello theres new stuff there. new map seems earmarked for next update
