Genning for broadleaf forests
« on: January 16, 2011, 11:06:16 pm »
On all the worlds I have gen'd I have found broadleaf forests a rarity among the biomes I have encountered.  What are the ideal settings for a broadleaf forest (a temperate one ideally)?

its ideal to not be such a dirty elf.

to attempt to answer your question, I would guess a lower deviation of elevation, lower deviation in temperature, and higher precipitation.

maybe he wants broadleaf forests so he can cut them down? Oak wood is nice.

Wiki says mid elevation, high rainfall, high drainage and non-freezing for forests. Added to that, fiddle with the temperature ranges to get plenty of temperate terrain. I suspect it's just random whether you get broadleaf or conifer forest, but boosting the amount of forest terrain generally should give you more chance for broadleaf forests overall.
