Desert makes sense
But why jungle and arctic
I would have four springs in my town walls but now I have only one

I think there was some discussion about jungles being hot, infested, and with limited starting resources. At this time eves were spawning on springs. Consider that they are also in the "special biome" category in the map generation that came later.

Unfortunately there isn't much context in the commit I think this would have gone out with the Last Dance update, but the post doesn't mention jungle or spring.

Basically Eves were coded to spawn on springs at one time which meant you could land in a jungle. He had to then change it so Eves spawn X tiles away from springs because I learned how to create death loops where Eves repeatedly spawned on the same traps with 0% survival chance. Spawning in/around a jungle meant that you could potentially have mosquitoes snipe you as you connected which was just annoying.

Also jungles aren't very livable in game without a lot of work seeing as you'll always be at neutral hot temperature which is generally considered really bad. Basically, they're just not good for living in and can't be fixed so why bait people into building near/on them.

i mean it makes sense, 4 biomes are same temperature, coldish, they got springs
the other 3 is too hot or too cold

would be nice to have some other resource in its place, maybe oil would be too much but a clay mine at least
