Biome
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
A biome is geographically contiguous area on the surfaces of celestial bodies. 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 Currently[outdated], only Kerbin and Mün have biomes.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 reveal different Science!
Kerbin Biomes
- Grasslands
- Ice caps (currently unknown whether north and south yield different data)
- Mountain
- ?Highlands
- Desert
- Shores
- Water (oceans)
- ?Rivers (more research needed)
Mün Biomes
