Add More Biomes

2.8K votes

I would like to see more biomes to add variety in the game. Here are some ideas I have:
- A biome of narrow valleys high above the Shroud. Typical enemies you can encounter there are Vukah and bigger, meaner versions of the goats from the starter biome
- A biome with very very high peaks and very very low valleys, so I can build an ivory tower overlooking the Shroud

There were only a few areas available in the demo, there should be WAY more available with full game launch. I suggest actually playing the game and seeing what is available before asking for things like this.

Like in future expansions have other biomes like swamps, and ocean we can explore. With that maybe then i would suggest boats in the future.

"Add a SNOW biome" (suggested by <Hidden> on 2024-01-26), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Biome inside a mountain, like a big mine, big shiny crystals, lava, lots of bridges and chasms

The starter area definitely needs to be filled out with more micro biomes. You spend the first few hours of the game seeing basically the same pallet which can get monotonous. A thick forest or dark forest or other valley/meadow adjacent biomes would help greatly in the first few hours of the game.

Just want to add it here so as not to double post. With the glider a sky biome like the one in Tears of the Kingdom would be a neat area to explore allowing for ultimate sky diving and even some lore. Perhaps it could be a biome the Ancients used at one point.

A volcanic biome with very broken vertical terrain that has natural heat vents that make the player rise in the air (like thermals) as they glide over them could be neat too. Would make for some fun and challenging traversal.

I think it's already been mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like the world so far has been drained of water and is now glowing red insta-death fungus. It would be cool if there is a biome that has water that has been untouched and underwater exploration is a key part of its theme.

I think the biomes in the recent release are just a bit too big - my boyfriend and I got a bit bored thinking it was just one and the same biome all over the map even after ~6-7 hours into the game. Yes there are more biomes to encounter later on, but it would be cooler imo if there were more smaller biomes or under-biomes, as in Valheim.

I havent left my first biome yet..lol.. But more biomes is always good of coarse.. More items, higher tiers..etc..for release or expansions

Personally I like the huge biomes. It makes the world feel organic. Valheim has issues with its biomes, often being too small as to produce adequate resources.

There will definitely be new biomes, because the upper half of the map remains inaccessible at the moment!

I have no doubt they will add more biomes, I just hope they make them flatter. The constant vertical of narrow Shroud valleys and too-steep-to-climb-normally mountains makes the starter area somewhat miserable. I don't mind the later desert-y areas so much and the occasional cumbersome dam to climb isn't a bad thing, but scaling mountains is a weakpoint of this game currently.

Needed new biomes are:
1.- snow (its already in game and has a slow debuff nice one it just needs snow storms and please jusr dont reuse same wolves in white color, include yetis. Ice drakes, ice golems, fangblade tigers, bears

2.- swamp makes same debuff as snow with deeper zones of water that prevents dodge with enemies like naiad, swamp trolls, fishlike humanoid monsters, trees that rise from earth and tru to kill you, leeches in water, poisonous moskitos

3.-nests biome (like inside a big hive with spider web everywhere small eggs everywhere, this is where spiders enemy shines any tipe of spider, tarantula, scorpion, centipede, snake, flying spider giant queen spider, any kind of insect fits here

4- caves biome: ancient dwarven citys (like moria) heres where trolls, orcs, stone golems, monstruous bears, bats, ghouls, skeleton warriors, lucanteopes fit

4- volcano biome: i just can say 1 thing here BIG DRAGON BOSS swiming in lava flying spiting fire

Adding additional suggestions is disabled, please add this in to it's own:

Building into the shroud should be allowed if a fire shrine is placed near the shroud. It shouldn't be "build anywhere" but building within the base limits, even if those limits include the shroud, should be allowed.

Snow (what we already can see at the map edge), Tropic, Ocean (if possible to add water in a foxel based game)

I want to see more fantasy biomes. Floating mountains like in Avatar (not last airbender) with updraft winds so you don't easily fall to your death.
Giant glowy mushroom forests. Lush verdant garden of Eden, flame/lava riddled volcanoes.

Noted that I have not explored the entire map, so some of this may already be ingame (I really hope so), but so far up until the 3rd Tower, the biomes are quite boring and plain.

Games with varying biomes are pretty uncommon. It would be cool to see more biomes for sure but I appreciate that some of the biomes are much better integrated and vast. For example. Going from forest to desert makes no sense in some games, however enshrouded has a nice Savana biome! I’d like to see more of that with things like jungles and rainforests, swamps and marshlands etc. ALSO would really love to see temples in each biome that is themed like the biome or uses puzzles related to the biome.

Enshrouded is a game to explore. Basicly give us more and more places to explore and see news creatures, animals and quests.

It feels like OP didn't play much before opening a ticket here.
We've got four extremely detailed biomes, that have been hand-crafted, and it's obvious from the size of the map and its current "borders" that one of the next biomes to come will be snow-peaked mountains. I've been kicked by the "borders" countdown please-turn-back more than I can count, because I can't wait for those mountains either, but... they are coming alright.

Water biome with underwater shroud, underwater enemies, caves. dungeons, underwater ressource, ships that player can control on water and so on.

Even portals to other biomes / continents / maps would be cool to expand gameplay.
