Summary0001722: Embark screen biome view can include separate biomes that are apparently identical
DescriptionEven a single embark site can have as much as three ABSOLUTELY (and I mean it) identical biomes that are distinguished in embark selection for no apparent reason. Not a major bug, but still annoying and may be connected to more serious ones.

 I suspect what's going on here is that the biomes have minor, invisible differences in their temperature, rainfall, drainage, etc. -- enough of a difference that the game tracks them separately, but not enough to surpass the biome category thresholds. In other words, them being "absolutely identical" relies on the assumption that the embark display is telling you everything, which it's probably not doing. Or was there something else making you sure?

In game, the differences between biomes (if there's any) don't show up in any way. Why distinguish apparently similar to player things if the only change may be that of murky pools evaporating several days earlier or such?

 I agree with you -- this confused me too when I started playing. I'm just explaining that they're possibly not "ABSOLUTELY identical".
