This makes me sad too) Both as a girl and as an aesthete.

Actually, as I see, Germans have the same problem with their female "-in" suffix ("Lehrer" - male teacher, "Lehrerin" - female teacher).

I'm sure, there are at least 5 more languages having the same problem.

You only need to add two additional lines. Like this:

<titleMale>Policeman of Glitterworld</titleMale>
<titleShortMale>Policeman</titleShortMale>
<titleFemale>Policewoman of Glitterworld</titleFemale>
<titleShortFemale>Policewoman</titleShortFemale>

It will be usefull for English too! Housewife, stay-at-home Dad, washwomen, fisherman, etc.

Boreal forest is actually taiga. It's more convenient to look at forest types in Russia. Russia has a "4-tier cake" of forests. First tier, the southerest, is forest steppe. It's like prairies, but hotter, dryer and with little amount of heat tolerant trees like poplar. The second tier is temperate forest. An average, generic forest, like in Central Europe. The third one, taiga, is colder and has other tree species as main species (mostly conifers) and many different berries. The last one, the northerest, is thundra. In thundra there are almost no trees and grass (trees grow in shrub forms, actually it's not 'a forest'), but it has many species of trailing plants (mostly mosses). As a result, plant eating animals like mooses can live in thundra, but only if they don't mind cold, wind and eating moss.

Actually, the Rimworld boreal forest is too warm for my opinion. It should has at least -40*C in winter. I often see boreal forest bioms have -30 or even -20.

You are propably speaking about "coniferous forest". It's like temperate, but with spruces, pines and firs instead of oak, elm and birk.
