− | + | Worlds in RimWorld are generated from either random or user-provided seeds that allow for a completely new experience every time. Each world is uniquely filled with multiple [[Biomes|biomes]] that change what the world looks like and how it behaves. For example, some biomes feature a large amount of mountains, while others are full of grasslands. | |
− | + | {{Asof|A16}} Part of the world system's overhaul includes sliders for overall planet temperature and overall rainfall, with the result of changing them being true to what would happen in real life. Time zones are also modelled as the world actually physically exists and is fully interactive. Temperatures in regards to proximity from the equator are also correct; with hotter biomes being more central and colder biomes being closer to the poles. | |

− | + | Once the player clicks Generate, the 'Select landing site' screen appears and shows the world map, made up of mostly hexagons with a few pentagons thrown into the mix. Every tile on a world is unique, with its own biome, elevation, average temperature, terrain, and rainfall amount. These details are shown whenever the player selects a tile. | |
+ | In world generation four main features, biome, elevation, temperature, and rainfall, are generated with each tile. Clicking the Mode button (default is 'Full') offers the choice to select a feature to view the map in a special heat map. Each feature is logical with the tiles near to them. Each feature goes along with the biome of the tiles and the tiles around it. Each biome has its unique trees, animals, temperatures, rainfall and growing periods. | ||

Each tile has its own averages for temperature based on the biome. Only the averages are presented in the world generation menu, but can directly affect your game. The effects of temperature vary greatly; extreme heat causes your colonists to develop heat stroke, while extreme cold may freeze them so thoroughly, their corpses will never decay. Temperature is related to the other three features of a tile in a generated world. Naturally, higher elevation and a more northern biome is colder. | Each tile has its own averages for temperature based on the biome.
