Biomes

Temperate forest, desert, ice sheet, jungle, tundra and biome-specific survival.

Temperate forest is forgiving enough to teach the game without removing danger.

Desert colonies trade disease pressure for heat, sparse wood and food planning.

Ice sheet survival is a challenge run in temperature, food and power math.

Jungle gives growth and disease in equal measure.

Tundra is a short-growing-season test of freezer and stockpile discipline.
