The idea is for a lush biome in the game, consisting mostly of kelp, but different from the kelp forest we see in SN1. The whole biome would be covered in kelp, but it wouldn’t just be kelp rising to the surface, everything would be tangled in kelp, including the ground, walls of caves, a biome where kelp grasps everything surrounding it. I think this would be a cool idea for a lush biome that’s still distinct from what we had previously.

very good, nibbler likes
it is definitely wierd how many species currently in the game try to mimic kelp when there isn’t any.
I too enjoy lush biomes. But there are lore reasons (still not fully fleshed out in EA) why there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of plants around…
There are no plants on Proteus that’s true, but kelp is not actually a plant, it’s an algae!
Right but tomayto tomahto. They are photosynthesizers.
