Biomes (Subnautica)

Subnautica features a wide range of Biomes to explore and conquer. Biomes in Subnautica represent minature ecosystems. The word itself comes from the term Bioformation.

Developer footage of Biome generation can be seen on a playlist from Russel Maekim's Youtube channel. He also sometimes livestreams his work on Twitch.
