− | A '''desert''' is a very dry [[biome]], with little to no [[rain]]fall each year. Deserts can be found in almost all [[climate]]s except the most extreme cold regions.

Deserts can be found in almost all [[climate]]s except the most extreme cold regions. They are always arid, so cold deserts may only have flowing water for a few months of the year, and warm deserts might have rivers that evaporate during the summer months. The desert [[temperature]] is mostly on the far ranges of warm or cold, and can reach scorching or freezing temperatures in certain regions. Variable heat loss is not a feature in biomes, so very hot deserts will remain warm/hot in the night with only a small decrease in temperature. |

There is a surprisingly decent amount of [[creature]]s however. Camels, for example, are very common to this kind of biome and provide an excellent [[food]] source (whether [[one-humped camel|one]] or [[two-humped camel|two]] humps). Breaching [[caverns]] for resources that deserts lack can make building a fortress a whole lot easier. |

Badlands have [[soil]] but very little rainfall, and so have very little to offer in the way of plant life, both shrubs and trees. They are mostly hot or cold, but can also have another climate. Badlands form in areas with high drainage. | Badlands have [[soil]] but very little rainfall, and so have very little to offer in the way of plant life, both shrubs and trees.

Additionally, trees and other plant life are usually scarce at best in these areas. Thus, trees should be grown in subterranean tree farms. For pasture, the top layer of dirt can simply be channeled through; grass will grow in the resulting pit. Wastelands form in areas with medium drainage. |
− | Sand deserts are large and dry areas of [[sand]] | + | Sand deserts are large and dry areas of [[sand]]. They can be difficult for a beginning player to found a fortress in, due to the fact that there are usually few trees and plants to be found, and it may require digging several [[Z-axis|Z-layers]] deep before any stone is found. However, similar to rocky wastelands, areas of the map can be channeled out for grass growth. The new grass tiles will even allow tree growth, with enough time. Deserts form in areas with low drainage. |
