Making a new reply instead of just editing since this is an interesting thread and I’d hate to see it die: quick notes on some other biomes I’ve explored since November!
- Grasslands and Prairie are boring imo, although part of that might be the background art of Grass Unlimited™. Doesn’t seem like there’s much in either place that I can’t get more elsewhere.
- Coniferous Forest is great for bears and general battles; the moose bull seems surprisingly easy to take down (at least with a lucky foot and decent energy+HP)?? Don’t waste your acorn on the little red bird (gives a slight hunger boost) but otherwise the encounters are all-around decent.
- Desert is great for healing thanks to that bird encounter, and I feel like it’s got other HP boosts but don’t quote me on that. I would also suggest not using acorns on the owl because all you get is a small carcass, but also the owl is cute and I am a sucker and I give it the acorn every time. YMMV
- Seconding all the original post’s comments about the Tundra and Glacier. Very similar; there’s the Tundra, and then there’s the Extreme Tundra (Glacier).
- I’ve only explored the Taiga for like, two days, but it also seems pretty decent with HP encounters? And food. I’ve locked myself into biomes for lore reasons twice now and, while I’m not keeping track this round, this place seems much more abundant than the Coniferous Forest.
Still haven’t checked out the Deciduous Forest, Riparian Woodland, Swamp, or Rainforest, and possibly won’t within my current/first lead’s lifetime. But tl;dr: Mountain’s all-around good (if scant compared to other biomes), spam the Desert for healing, Coniferous Forest and Taiga are good for food, and the Tundra and Glacier are great for an overall challenge.
