Temperate swamp
Temperate Swamp
Wetlands choked with vegetation and disease. Dense overgrowth makes it hard to move around, and clearing areas for building takes a long time. Much of the terrain is too marshy to support heavy structures.

Temperate swamp is a temperate biome in RimWorld.
Summary[edit]
A more wet version of the Temperate forest. Like in all swamps, diseases are more common. The marshy soil will probably require bridges before constructing buildings and the terrain is really slow to travel, but this biome also has more fertile soil.
In the lists below the number in brackets represents the relative commonality.
