This will be the initial release of the mod and will only include the Cavern biome. We will progressively tweak and add more to the biome until we deem it finished.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VERSION IS VERY MUCH UNFINISHED, BUT IS FINALLY A STABLE 1.0, IT WILL GET MORE STUFF AND MORE COMPLEXITY OVER TIME.

This will not work with an old save as it adds a new biome to world generation.

Fruit Bats: Flappy herbivorous mammals.
Pale Lizards: Tiny lizards that are often preyed on by cavern carnivores.
Bovine Beetle: Muffalo sized beetles, great for meat, chitin, and honeydew. They can be used as a caravan animal.
Mole: Dog sized mammals that inhabit the caverns.
Royal Rhino Beetle: Horned beetles that make for decent defenders.
Maxolotl: Huge omnivorous salamanders that dwell within the waters of the caverns.
Giant Snail: Surprisingly fast snails the size of a cow that can be used as caravan animals.
Cave Spider: The top predator of the biome, these ferocious spiders have a venemous bite and considerable strength. When tamed they can be used as caravan animals.
Vampire Bat: Bloodthirsty flying mammals that feed on anything large enough.

Giant Mushrooms: Tree sized mushrooms that produce a fungal material as strong as wood.
Spectre Cap: Large, pale glowing mushrooms.
Glowfruit: A citrus like fruit tree whose fruit glows.
Skultop: A large mushroom that produces toxic spores when anything gets close enough.
Mortal Morel: A source of fungal medicine, a cavern version of herbal medicine that is slightly weaker.
Inkcap: A source of fiber that requires no light to grow.
Bluebell: A hallucinogenic mushroom often taken by tribes.
Water Fungus: Fungi that can grow on water.
Starlight Shroom: Small, dark capped mushrooms with tiny spots that glimmer.

Note: We tweaked glowstool a bit and gave players the ability to grow it so as to have a roughly potato speed/output crop.

Coal: A good source of fuel for generators.
Crystal: Strong crystal that can be used to build a great variety of things.

Beetle Armor: Armor made from chitin, steel, and textiles.
Mole Claw: An item gotten off of dead Moles that can be used to make the Mole Claw Glove and Gauntlet.
Honeydew: A sweet nectar produced by Bovine Beetles.

We also made it so that pawns can move in deep water.

Creature Structures, Ants and Ant Colonies and Spider Dens.
Cavern Races, Mushkin and Troglodytes.
