 In the Snow Biome, also known as the Winter biome, it will snow regularly, which will replenish melted snow and stack on top of the already present snow.
-The brown trees and rock formations will be harder to see due to the snow. Perma-rock will be commonly found, but they look similar to the rock formations and will pose an increased challenge to players because of that. Water will be present and can still be bridged over by using wood.

 A day- & night-cycle will be present during this biome, which can obscure the vision. This won't usually pose a threat to the players though because of the [[Light Wagon]], which will melt the snow in its vicinity. It can also stop snowing for a while, which can be a temporary relief to some players.
-Snow can be melted if a player carries the Water Bucket while walking over snow. The [[Buckinator Wagon|improved bucket]] and [[Dynamite Wagon|dynamite]] are more ways to get rid of snow, though not as efficient as with the Light Wagon.

 The Yeti will attack the players by stomping, which creates an area of effect that causes everyone in its vicinity to drop their items.

 A day- & night-cycle will be present during this biome, which can obscure the vision. Keeping track of the path towards the next station and picking up bolts while it's still bright is a good idea. Fog can occur during the day and the night, which can make it harder to discern resources, though the fog will dissipate once the train reaches the next station.

 Instead of water lakes & rivers, there will be vast lava lakes, which can be bridged over by using stone instead of wood. The Water Bucket can be filled by standing on top of geysers found on the ground. Tracks cannot be placed over steam vents, the path to the station should be planned accordingly.

 [[File:Underwater_Biome.png|thumb|160x160px|A starting position of a Underwater Biome.]]
 The Underwater Biome is a bonus biome of the sorts that can be entered using any of the secret mineshafts that are hidden across the first 3 biomes. For each biome, one mineshaft may spawn randomly on level 3, 4 or 5. Starting from level 6, one is guaranteed to spawn on level 5n+1.  When you see a mineshaft surrounded by the streams of a nearby waterfall, you can build tracks there and connect to the lone track within the mineshaft. Your train will then speed up towards the mineshaft, then enter a transition phase into Underwater where the train is slowed and a flashing warning symbol appears over your train's engine.
 If players choose not to enter the secret mineshaft, it will explode upon loading the next level.
