| Summary | 0006376: Odd weather pattern for desert/badlands biome | ||||
| Description | I've noticed that it has been raining year round almost all the time in this embark, it does stop and start, that isn't the issue. The thing is that it's raining so much that it seems like I should be in a lusher biome. If there was a rainy season, I'm okay with that, but year round? Deserts are supposed to have a LACK of water. The embark screen says the two nadlands biomes that I embarked on are warm and have scarce trees and other plants. It's a really minor thing, but just thought I'd bring up the odd weather patterns that don't really fit the biome. Seems like the embark should be a rainforest, not a desert. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Embark on a badlands or other arid biome. 2. Just observe what the weather is over a few years, 2 or 3 years should be enough. It's very hit and miss, though I could upload the save or put it up on DFFD. | ||||

Are you sure you don't have any other biomes on your map? |

Yeah, I even checked with a copy save as I thought I might have had mountain but they are both desert/badlands biome. The two biomes are actually pretty different, not night and day different though. One biome is definetly badlands, trees don't even grow there and vegetation is sparse while the other one has a climate closer to the Sonoran and is pretty green, however even the Sonoran doesn't have year round rainfaill. Probably some kind of biome interaction. |

On further observation, it looks like the rain is only happening in the drier biome. Maybe a manifestation of the bug where the rain doesn't cover the whole embark? |
