I love mini-biomes. They give you a break from the standard planetary terrain and let you explore something new for a while! which is why I've come up with some cool, unique mini-biome ideas for all of you! Paradise: this biome is easily detectable with its tropical trees, crystalline rocks, beautiful waterfalls, and crystal-blue ponds. Throw in some underwater caverns and fern plants, and you have yourself a beautiful scenic detour! Can be found on 1 in 3 lush planets. Mesa: Oh yea. We're talking colorful cliffs, deep trenches, and unique rock formations. Also, just for fun, One in 25 mesa biomes have red cacti, because why not? Found on 1 in 2 deserts. Giant Grass Blades I know I've posted about it before, but that doesn't mean it's not still a good idea. It's giant grass blades! But it's also huge creature hives buried in the dirt. And massive dandelions that extend beyond the highest trees. Found on 1in 3 savannah planets. Cove: Ocean planets are planets too, and deserves mini-biomes. Once in a while, you'll stumble across an island that's less sandy and more rocky. The biome is a mess, of sharp, jagged rocks on the surface, and cavernous tidepools in the lower areas. found on 1 in 2 Ocean planets. Snowball fields: Snowy areas with strange stacks of large snowballs strewn about. Not much, but cool to stumble across nonetheless. Found on almost every Snow planet. Just friccin weird: Just go all out on this one. have walking Trees, disembodied flying mouth. Cage-shaped creatures that put you inside of them. Just make sure that the drugs you're using are legal. Found on 1 in 4 mutated planets. Super Rare: Candyland biome! What else needs to be said? Frosting covered terrain with whimsical chocolate hills, gumdrop rocks, lollipop trees, and naturally, something made out of caramel. Found on 1 in, say, 5000 planets. (Thank you to M_Sipher For the idea.) That's all I've thought of so far. If anyone else has any ideas, you can post them here.
yes that would be amazing also another mini biome could be a crash field, that has lots of space debri and crashed spaceships!
I'm back with some more Ideas! Robotic Forest: Metal trees. Metal leaves. Little robotic critters, scurrying about. A charming, yet simple detour from whatever you were doing before. Found on 1 in 3 forest or jungle planets. Icy Volcanic: Lava ponds. Ice. Both! Volcanic Rocks for decoration, Maybe some unique creatures to be found! Inspired by the "Frostfire" planets from Variety is the Spide of the Universe. Found on 1 in 4 tundra planets. Volcanic Caves: If you're actually tenacious enough to go all the way to the bottom of the lava oceans on magma worlds, you deserved some sort of prize. How about a one-of-a-kind volcanic-themed underground biome! lava pours from the ceiling above, pooling in ponds on the floors of these caves. Lava-themed trees grow in the underground, and, dare I say... Special furniture??? Found on all Magma planets.
