Talk:Biome

Definition of biome

Please don't generate and spread disinformation. Biomes are ecological organizations of living beings and mineral world. A huge crater on the Moon is not a biome - there is no life out there.

That's why we need to explain what biomes are in real life, and what do they represent in Kerbal Space Program, where they have a special meaning. Squad should've never named those regions biomes, but they did, so it's best to set things straight.

Mountain water?

User AironCel says there is surface water in every biome on Kerbin.

My own in-game hunting found water in every biome except Mountains. Scouting a few watery areas that KerbalMaps.com identified as Mountains turned out not to be in Highlands, Shores, or Water in-game (their maps proved imperfect a few times). But I'd love to be wrong; I'd just like to see some verifiable proof!

check the river at 31N 42W. it doesnt look like it on kerbalmaps, but it extends into the mountain biome quite a bit. I have SrfSplash mountain science in my archive, will post screenshot if you can't verify yourself. -- AironCel (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2014 (CDT)

Location biomes

I should note that the Location Biomes is missing several areas in the Kerbal Space Center, and it lists several areas as "only applicable to mystery goo" and suchlike. Let me state this, it is NOT only applicable to Mystery Goo. The following locations were recorded in my save file for Temperature, Pressure, Gravity, Seismic, Crew Report, EVA Report, Mystery Goo, Surface Sample (sometimes you have to jump against the side of a building to register), Materials Lab, AND Atmospheric sensor. That's like... everything.

It should be noted that I was operating an incredibly tiny rover-like vehicle named the "Pain is Cupcake"; the tiny size of the vehicle may have contributed to the ease with which I caught the boundaries of buildings and whatnot.
