World gen sucks

For my long term game I opted for a linear biome layout, with pine forest at one end of the map and wasteland at the other. That puts desert in the middle, and I built my most extensive base there, at the end of a major downtown street. The location is optimal on multiple layers, and with its clear skies I don’t think the desert is an ugly biome at all. We spent a long time there, until our gamestage caught up to where it made sense to make a base in the wasteland.
