addedNow a single loop contains multiple biomes!I think having multiple biomes per loop adds a bit of mystery and variation to the runs, which has been one of the points of the feedback from the players during early access.

changedNow a single loop contains multiple biomes!The biomes that appear during a loop are currently randomly selected from the unlocked biomes.

changedNow a single loop contains multiple biomes!Now the first three biomes are automatically unlocked, instead of just one.

changedNow a single loop contains multiple biomes!To unlock more biomes, a successful run must contain a biome that is listed before the biome you want to unlock in the biome unlocks list.

changedNow a single loop contains multiple biomes!So if you are wondering why there are no more biomes listed on the "start run dialog" : it's on purpose.

Currently the first biome is always the Snow biome, which I think is a nice way to start a run.

It might change how different biomes are unlocked and the way some of them are accessed, but currently things are as described.
