Mountain Biome... We Need To Talk. It's not you, it's me. Okay maybe it's you.

So they've made the desert biome really awesome, so I assume they will work on the other biomes too in the future, including the mountain biome that really needs an upgrade...

Sadly that's the main thing, it doesn't work.

The game is essentially literally "designed" for no height variation. When you start to add height variation things start to break; hell some things even look strange when you play at say 2000 diameter planets. Mountains are by nature extreme height variation so they just can't work with the game as they made it.

The only way mountain biomes would work properly is if they are essentially giant pieces of land that are literally impassable by anything but air. Maybe some hope if you add things like plateaus around them so you can build a air factory or pelter (maybe). But even then there would be oddities with them since the air layer is nothing more then a elevated land layer, sadly, so you would get kind of wanky air movement where everything looks like a hover craft.

The changes you suggest vary from aesthetics to obstructive terrain to environmental effects and have been quite popular in the past. I agree with you that it'd be awesome to have these changes (and a few more besides).

Oh I wasn't having a dig at UBER They've made extremely pretty biomes - the Mountain Biome is only ugly in comparison to that hot Desert Biome...
I know it'll look good in the end.

Hahahahahahahahha

did someone say a whatta whatta what what??!

Perhaps the more vertical rocks of the Rock biome might make for some cool CSG? May not necessarily need to be built upon - they could have jagged/sloping tops.
