Biome

A biome is geographically contiguous area on the surface of a celestial body. They yield different experimental data (and flavor text). Currently^[outdated], only Kerbin and Mün have biomes. Taking data at different altitudes (including 'on the ground', i.e. surface samples) over different biomes reveals different Science!

Kerbin Biomes

• Launch Pad
• Runway
• KSC
• Grasslands
• Ice Caps (North/South Polar Caps are not separate biomes)
• Tundra
• Mountain
• Badlands
• Desert
• Water (Oceans) (Rivers and lakes are not separate biomes)
• Highlands
• Shores

Mün Biomes

• Highlands
• Highland Craters
• Midlands
• Polar Lowlands (North/South Polar Lowlands seem to register as the same biome; please confirm)
• Poles (North/South Poles seem to register as the same biome; please confirm)
• Farside Crater
• East Farside Crater
• Northwest Crater
• Northern Basin
• East Crater
• Southwest Crater
• Twin Craters
• Canyons (potential tiny biome along the equator; please confirm)
