Rainforest

Rainforest is a biome that features in Reus 2. It's the first biome that player unlocks, upon reaching Player Level 2. 
== Description ==
There are two types of rainforest: temperate and tropical. Tropical rainforests are dense and warm rainforests that occur in places where there is no dry season, such as South America, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. Rainforests typically have a number of layers, each with different plants and animals adapted for life in that particular area. They exhibit a vast diversity in plant and animal species: more than half of the world's total biodiversity. Rainforests support a very broad array of fauna, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and invertebrates. Principal threats to this biome include mining, drilling, deforestation, conversion to farmland and climate change.
== Mechanics ==
Rainforest can be created by the Swamp Giant, once Player Level 12 has been reached, the Forest Giant. It primarily provides Science as a resource, and has a strong focus on Plant biotica.
=== Biodiversity ===
The resources generated by many Rainforest biotica scale with how much surplus Biodiversity there is in the biome. To help them reach this, certain biotica generate biodiversity as a resource, and their apexes are sometimes cheaper than the apexes of other biomes.
=== Trees ===
Plants with the Tree tag are particularly common in Rainforest. There's also a number of Rainforest biotica that benefit from being adjacent to them.
