v1.0 Initial release


Biomes!: New environments to diversify the world.

Biomes! Core provides the framework for the Biomes! mod series and is required for any Biomes! mods to work. Place this mod BEFORE any other Biomes! mods! This mod does and will contain the things that will be a feature across all the biomes. In addition, this mod contains several base defs and a custom terrain available for use by other modders.

The intention of the mod series is to make the worlds of Rimworld more varied and interesting, This mod will add multiple new Biomes to the world along with the plants and animals to populate them. Four "core" biomes are intended currently.

We're currently recruiting programmers and Artists! If you would like to join the team shoot one of us a message!

Great Job on these mods! Glad to see the Atolls on the steam workshop as a stand alone!

v1.0 Initial release
V1.1 Fixed some bugs



Our goal as a mod series is to add new environments that we feel the vanilla game is sorely lacking, which in this case is islands! Biomes! Islands currently adds two new biomes to the game, Atolls and Tropical islands.

While the lagoon on atolls are quite beautiful, they take up a lot of room and make building a large colony difficult.  Atolls are also the home of the Kiwi! Soil on atolls tends to be rather poor so it's a challenge to grow crops starting out. Due to the scarcity of predators, atolls tend to be quite safe to live on. Another large challenge to atolls is the sheer lack of metal and stone, with the only "stone" being coral even with deep drills.

Tropical Islands are jungle-level dense when it comes to vegetation but have a lot more land for building on. They can also generate with mountains and have lots of natural food you can gather. These islands have more dangerous predators but are still great for a tropical getaway! With ore and stone, building here is a bit more traditional.

This mod is compatible with many mods, important ones being Boats and other biomes mods! :D



New animals:

Marine Iguana: Small but useful, currently just island versions of Iguanas.

Kiwi: Tiny cute birds, fun pets but not very useful. They can be found only on Atolls!

Seagulls: Anger them and it's not just a murder of crows you have to worry about.

Gigantaconda: A large dangerous snake predator, you do not want to tangle with them.

Sea Turtle: Kill them and you'll have some food... you monster...

Megamantis: Highly dangerous predator that can stun prey with ease. Home only to Tropical Islands!

Hermit Crab: These weirdly large crabs make for great pets and come with a variety of shells!

Rimcrab: These little buggers eat anything they can get their pinchy claws on and can attack en masse if angered.

Tree Frog: Small yet highly toxic, it would be a bad idea to lick these frogs.

Green Gecko: Perfect for being an adorable reptilian pet, these lizards will eat pretty much anything you can give them.

Omegadodo: The last dodo you'll ever need, these birds have been brought back from extinction and modified.

Flamingos: Brightly colored birds that give somewhat decent leather.

Q: What makes your islands unique?
A: We add multiple new plants and animals as well as unique terrain generation!

Q: Will this mod continue to be updated?
A: Yes! We're hoping to add new Island types and content to go with them.

Q: Does this work with other biomes mods?
A: Yes, yes it does!

Q: Can this be added mid-game?
A: Yes, but the new biomes themselves will NOT show up.

Finally! 👌

anyway, this mod could evolve to like, end-game mod, right?

Space biome / New World Biome
Instead you finish the game after getting spaceship, you teleported/crashed (again) to another new planet,

I'm fairly sure Save Our Ship does that sort of thing already.

Rimworld, soon with sharks to fill the waters around your islands! :D

Might be worth making sure that Islands is dependent on Core being loaded first. Thought the auto sort was handling all that and took way too long to remember to check it when I was having errors.
