Further notes
[b]New biomes - New playstyle[/b]
The two big parts of new biomes are caves and islands. Because these biomes are very different from the vanilla biomes the playstyle will also change a lot and you may have to think of new strategies but you will be rewarded with a whole new game experience.
- Caves lack a lot of natural resources that are otherwise very common. You need to get your colony going without much wood and light.
- Infested Mountains have the constant danger of many insectoids, but you can also use them to your advantage in various ways if you manage it right.
- Islands are often isolated and may not provide much space to build. Keep that limitations of building and caravaning in mind. Although isolated doesn't mean raiders won't come over shallow water passages.
- Some islands (especially atolls and skerries) don't have much rock to mine, so clever management and trading is necessary until you can deep-mine ores or get them from mechanoid raids.
- Water provides an additional challenge that doesn't exist in the core game. Long rainy seasons and stormfloods at coastal areas can flood terrain and threaten your base if you build at risky spots.

[b]Mod incompatibilities[/b]
There are many incompatibilities to other mods, mainly because Terra is such a large mod and it does a few deep/impactful changes to some of Rimworlds game systems. You can find an extensive list [url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FLanilor%2FTerra-Project%2Fwiki%2FMod-compatibility]here[/url][github.com].
[b]Common problems with other mods[/b]
- Prison Labor breaks crop sowing
- Bridge mods, Terra has bridges included (they even are floorable!)
- Walls decaying/breaking? A problem with floor mods. Report which mod adds the floor under the decaying wall.
