Description:
Just a small mod to enable the IceSheet Biome hmmm
(and add some ice floor (spawn only...) to make it nice and white!)
Screens
Now you can land on this one xD let's see if I die...

Wolfsies, was created by ItchyFlea thx!
ChangeLog:
1.2a
added wolfsies (by ItchyFlea)
1.1a
fixed a bug ... (i had new concrete textures in the mod file accidentally) :/
FakeBugs:
if you have animals in the open and get a message that "they are hypodermic and that this might be a bug", This is NOT a bug they are indeed hypodermic but it can get cold on an ice sheet.

Essentially it needs to be minimal stone. Think ice dessert with ice/snow and ocean patches.

i din't think we where able to change the terrain editor like that though.
but if you say it's possible i will look into it.
There still a problem it seem. There is no files to extract from the downlaod o-O

Something tells me that surviving here would be difficult. Not being able to grow food/cotton for parkas until hydroponics adds to the challenge.
I almost feel sorry for the colonists. :)
Are there any animals to hunt on this kind of biome? Penguin, seal, white bear or walrus?
I remember ItchyFlee implemented some biomes for Alpha 6(?) with penguins. You may ask him for the texture.
Nice idea for a good starting challenge! :)

Actually it's plausible to do this, i had 2 researching it and i was able to get hydroponics before my survival packs ran out xD

That hard part isn't the cold, it's the lack of fertile ground before hydroponics.
Can't grow on ice, so you are stuck looking for gravel, box it in and heat it up.
The lack of animals also puts a cap on the meal quality.
When winter comes, in September and the temp drops to -70C you more or less have to lock the front door and work on your mines still June.
When the power goes due to solar flares you normal lose all your crops. Keeping the temp just below the too hot temp almost keeps your stuff alive.

If you want a cold seed just use the seed "ice" and look at the top upper right hand corner of the map.

using "cold" on seed for largest world also gives a max -90 winter square
Also, love the mod!

Never above -20. Below -100 in the winter. Love it. :)

i wish someone would find a seed with temperatures that are always under -100(or make a mod)

I started a game with a -120
oF winter and I started the game in December and its mid may now and all of my colonists are fine. I landed in -127
o temperatures that dipped to -135 or so and didn't start going up into the double digit negatives until March or so.

I wrote a story to go along with their survival. It is definitely do-able. I did it without ever wearing a parka or tuque too.
Thanks for the link cant wait to try it! 8)

No animals would make it stand out from the other biomes more.
Currently in the base game you never really have to face the cannibalism or bust question, ice sheets seem the perfect place for that.
I feel like the ice sheet biome needs a little more, in the sense of animals, maybe just make a quick retexture of one or two animals and slap them in.
They won't last for long as they will never find any grass to eat...
The ice sheet animals must have a new AI to find their food by another way.

Yea, you see the problem right there
and adding grass is kinda bad cause i don't want you have an easy way to get soil(food).

That could be a good thing, stray animals lost, running for shelter, die outside your fort, if you're lucky.
The other alternative would be animals who eat dead people, so they'd hunt and kill colonists or scavenging the battlefields after fending off attackers, but that'd probably be a whole 'nother mods worth of modding.
I just realized that once the custom events are updated you could (kinda) recreate "The Thing"

yea, i also never created a .dll mod :p
I just got done with my first playing session with this mod. My initial thoughts are that there should be at least a couple pine and birch trees on the map, even if the commonality is set very very low. In reality there are still trees growing in the north pole region even if it is nowhere near as densely forested as we might be used to in the more temperate areas.
It would also be pretty helpful if you found a way to throw at least one parka on the ground at startup but that can be solved with EdB's Prepare Carefully mod I guess so no biggie if you don't get that done.
Other than that, I absolutely loved it. I also found a use for steam geysers as a far more powerful heater that worked to heat a fairly large underground base all by itself. Definitely gotta wall it off and lock the door to it when the base is small though cause that thing gets deadly hot. I'm going to use this mod again many times I can foresee. And I'm probably going to pair it up with Shinzy's Norbals mod too.

Personally I disagree with the notion that trees should be added. Not only does the current setup provide a unique challenge compared to other biome but the ice biome is also generated at hight altitudes where trees does not live. A second biome to bridge the gap between tundra and ice might be needed?

But that would require more map hooks and for as far as i know those aren't modifiable :/

I really like this biome mod the way it is. It reminds me of Skybox for Minecraft, where you had very limited resources and the game became more puzzle than survival. For instance, I had to build a lot of things out of stone and metal, saving wood for precious things like heat and advanced crafting (that requires wood). This biome posed a lot of unique challenges. In response to people asking for animals, my thinking is that a unique event could solve this issue. Much like how sometimes random animals go crazy and try to kill you, there could be an event where an arctic animal, like a snow leopard or polar bear, tries to kill you. That way you can obtain non-human meat, but not safely.
Maybe provide a version that has no hydrothermal vents? I think they're too easy of a work around for both heat and power generation.

Yup, that's my goal to keep you puzzling those pieces of wood :)
(there are ways to get more so in the end you can't run out forever.)
hmm so you say a non human raider(animal)?
and i can't remove hydrothermal vents for as far as i know.

I guess there's no need to remove them, I can just ignore them for the challenge. Yeah, a non human raider, like a pack of wolves, a polar bear or a snow leopard would be a pretty cool way to get food.

I like the pack of wolves idea. It's like the pack of beavers incident so it shouldn't be too hard to add in. And you could make their target be any meat instead of trees. Making them aggro to colonists might be a bit harder to do though but I've never looked into that so I don't know.

Sweet! Looking forward to it.
I am so loving this mod. A -90oC winter has arrived for my shivering colonists. It doesn't matter what my colonists wear, they cannot go outside the base for any useful length of time. ;D
I'm looking forward to the pack of wolves idea, so much that I went ahead and made this for you to use: Wolfsies Incident (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7882.0;attach=5270)
That basically adds a new incident worker (Modified version of the AlphaBeaver incident code gained via ILSpy) that will trigger only in the IceSheet biome and will spawn a bunch of animals called "Wolfsies". They are lightly modified squirrels. They don't attack colonists though. I couldn't figure that part out in the short amount of time I had to put this together.

So i finally got access to rimworld again and i cant land on icesheets using this mod. I try and just get told i cant. Fresh download of the mod and everything.

Ah, ok so it works again?
yep working fine now. And man, i just had an omg moment. A group of travelers was visiting my colony, by the time they got 3/4 of the way half were dead from hypothermia and the last one dropped a few seconds later. And this was at -80F, the spot i chose goes down to -136 (lowest i have noticed). That made my day seeing as 3/4 of the year "friendly" (more like food stealing) visitors cant even reach my door alive. Even better is when an enemy assault happens (norbals mod) and they all die before they are even within weapons range. I have probably close to 100 corpses sitting out there and i am only half way through winter.

it's awesome,
because i don't like that the game is balanced cause of raiders :/
Guess i should make my colony a starter of cannibals then huh. I didnt cause i have the Soylent Green thing but i dont have to worry about making it into that if they are cannibals.

I recall some old mods that added dogs. It might be worth trying to contact the creators of them and ask if you can use their textures.
Here is one: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3593.0
I really like the mod, but I'd like so see some animals here. Or atleast a option to add animals.
With this im refering to the animals that live in a area like this. Moose can live in this climate due to their pelt keeping them warm and they scavange for moss underneath the snow. If you were to add some moose/mufflo (Snoffalo/Coldoffalo?) that would be quite sweet. If the problem is that theres no food source, i think it should be able to modify the animals codeto allow it to eat snow?
What you think? :)

Personally, I think that instead of trying to make animals that can survive on the map, one should go the way of ItchyFlea and add events where animals pass through, much like other factions pass by your colony from time to time.
This would reflect the larger areas that animals living in these types of environments has to travel in search for food. It might also be interesting that you quickly have to get to the animals before they leave the map. What would be really neat is if such events could be restricted to a certain month. That way you would have to hunt and stock up enough meat to last the rest of the year.
Of course, not having a lot of animals on the map is a part of the challenge. So for me it's not a big thing if no-one makes such a mod. :)
You know, you could probably create a new stone type, name it "glacial ice", and script it, and things made from it, to degrade when heated. then edit the world gen so that 80% of the stone in this biome is that stuff no matter what. might be fun to watch players panic trying to keep their shack from melting cause the space heater was up too high.

ok, let's try this thing out!
(just testing it works, and then i'll upload it) :D
and to all the other guys(or girls or others ;) ) Thank you for liking this mod :D
I've created some files to add to your mod, however, they may not work right till the game allows you to take control of the map generator. I can't figure out how to get Items_Resources.xml to accept the color change in it's atlas though, it refuses to turn white.
You might tweak it just a bit, if you want the things to be slightly different colors, however, in an ice land like that, I figured the rocks are better as ice instead of normal rocks, doesn't make sense really.
Also, you need to make the entire ground white, solid white. I tried to make a new floor for it using existing files, but I can't find it. I was going to call the ground "Permafrost", a no growing zone, and it would be everywhere, all white, no plants of any kind whatsoever.
As soon as Tynan makes it possible to edit the map generator once again, you can make the walls around the map "ice" instead of "rock" and ore would be found inside the ice perhaps, who knows. I also can't find the file to edit to change the fog color above mountains for areas you haven't dug close enough to yet.

As soon as Tynan makes it possible to edit the map generator once again, you can make the walls around the map "ice" instead of "rock" and ore would be found inside the ice perhaps, who knows. I also can't find the file to edit to change the fog color above mountains for areas you haven't dug close enough to yet.
That's my plan ;)
Quote from: Vas on December 18, 2014, 05:55:04 AM
I've created some files to add to your mod, however, they may not work right till the game allows you to take control of the map generator.
Jesus you guys are awesome!
Quote from: Vas on December 18, 2014, 05:55:04 AM
I can't figure out how to get Items_Resources.xml to accept the color change in it's atlas though, it refuses to turn white.
hmmm, i would also not know how to do that.
guys? :P I'm one person. xP
I originally wanted to create the ice boime myself but you got there first, so I just gave you some files to enhance it some. Later on when the map gen editing becomes possible, you can rename rocks and ore types to have Ice in the name and make that biome's gen reflect that.

i know, it was just a bit complicated.... maybe i should sleep more... Blame tynan for making rimworld!
Yes! I was first Woot!
Awesome mod. It's the biodome I've been having more fun to play in.
So word of warning to anyone using this, If you chose one of the ridiculously cold parts (i have found ones that go down to -140F). Solar Flares are lethal without a good supply of lumber. Over the course of the day the temp dropped below zero from 80F. Always try and keep at least 200 lumber for fires on hand.

excellent advice! I usually try to utilize the steam geysers as a backup heating system though. Just make sure the area they are enclosed within is big enough that it doesn't get up to 200F.

It's really hardcore, yes... lots of tries and fails in this one, but also rewarding to see sieges fail due to frostbite ;D
Man i had so many corpses built up from the winter months that my 15x15 stockpile for them exclusivly was full before even half had been gathered. It really does get broken in the really cold parts. That and your colonists cant go more than 20 spaces outside before hypothermia starts getting bad so you pretty much are holed up in your home for 2/3 of the year.
Ded1, that's kinda the point. It's the harshest land you can experience.
Well its one of thous biomes where you meet raiders wielding molotov with open hands :D

One can only hope that a system where each block on the map calculates heat separately comes into play soon enough. That'll make camp fires and such useful outside. :P

Yeah i know, i think its kinda funny though how people still try and visit you (or raid you) when they die before they can even get close. And with the sitting in your home for 2/3 of the year, just make sure you keep your guys really happy to offset the cabin fever penalty.

you can force them out even if it's only for a second, it removes the message
and your colonists will be happy again ;)
I tried that and it didn't work. I even kept them out till they were hypothermic (serious) and still no effect on it. I think that it only goes away if they go out on their own and not under your control.

weird... never had that happen.
Yeah same. I just run my guys out to the front door so they can all go 'Oh yeah, this is why we dont go outside - its below 100' and then immediatly run them back inside. Never had to have them stand outside for more then a second to make the 'cabin fever' go away.

Do you have your base walled in with an unroofed courtyard but walls all the way around? If so then that's still technically not outside as far as the cabin fever problem is concerned. You have to send them totally outside your walls in that case. I personally never close off my walls completely. There is always an open path into my base. Right next to my turrets. Gives the raiders a false sense of security so they just boldly stroll right on into my death trap.
Nah i just send them out the front door normally, but most of the time it doesnt work.
Thanks for making this mod!
I set my difficulty to the lowest because it means not getting spammed by raiders. It's harder if you have to make your own cloth and have fewer weapons to sell. The ice sheet turned RW into a whole new game for me and I'm enjoying it a lot! =3

Edit: wolfsies got added ;)
I didn't like the scattered rocks and smudges of dirt covering the pristine snow so I made a couple of blank textures to remove them. Of course, downside is that this removes them from other biomes as well.
I've attached the files in this post. Anyone who want to remove the smudges, unzip the content to Mods\Core\Textures.

if i could write .dll's i would probably look into it.
sadly i can't :/
(i can't get the environment set up properly nor know how to export something,
and my google attempts have failed me just like the post in help about that)
Damn its cool, and at some point kinda easy. I was thinking it wil be slow grind, but every raider got parka or power armor, so almost every trader i get tons of money.
But still beginnings ware hard, thers no animals and plants grow only on scarse terrain.

Did you ever add in the files I gave? :P Or did you plan to wait till you can edit the terrain generator?
So if you get the hide and parka nerf mod, raiders will not always spawn with parkas and quite frequently die on the way. Though it does kinda suck to have people get pissed at you cause thier traders are stupid enough to try and visit me when its -140 out.

There are a bunch of spots with around -95C.

And found a bug. It happens when you start the game on this particular super cold spot(above) on December, yet June is fine.

Well why nerf parka's that way?
if it's minus 90C you're gonna die without one.
(raiders die with parka's if you're on a large map ;) )
About the bug.
Occasionally the overview log hows correctly yet the pawns still refuse to build anything... mining seemed to work tho.
Oh and it got to -117C (-178F) and this happened :D
(https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1366x768q50/661/bnSRbC.png)
P.s. Why do we have female/male centipedes? Will we be able to breed them by having an artist with laptop play dubstep in the near future?
Coldest i have found is around -140F and i have seen centipedes that i disable die from hypothermia, but intact ones i havent seen it on (mostly cause i kill or disable them really quick). What seed did you find that -178f on? I want to try it lol.

Have no evidence except anecdotal for this, but:
I think Pawns have been coded to behave in a certain way when they get very cold. In my recent extreme cold runs, I've noticed that pawns which get really cold immediately try to path to a warmer area to prevent hypothermia. They will often become unresponsive then, refusing to work, eat, or even sleep until they have warmed up sufficiently. If I can't get a room up and warm quick enough, or I somehow allow the cold to get in (Damn you Solar Flares!) they will sort of just freeze in place, presumably continuously trying to find a path to somewhere warmer. Or so I theorize.
To test my theory, you could try Edb's Prepare Carefully mod and start them with Parkas and Toques, maybe give them all warm body traits. I'm fairly certain how quickly they get cold is based off the difference between their maximum temperature tolerance and the environment. If it prevents the bug by delaying the cold shock "MUST GET SOMEWHERE WARM" code... well then there's code that's causing it. To be fair, playing in temperatures this extreme had to be modded in, so it would have been outside of Tynan's bug test ranges.
From the image posted, it looks like three naked colonists were just dropped into a -94C area, which meant they would have immediately gone hypothermic, quite possibly instantly getting locked up in a "Must find a warm area" loop. Since that code overrides other activities, like causing them to cancel hauling orders and just dump stuff onto the ground to get warm... maybe it's even overriding the code which has them register onto the overview menu?
Again, Just a theory with no evidence but my personal observations on how my pawns will sometimes lock up during my cold runs until they warm up a bit. Honestly you could almost call this a feature, -94C Naked is basically instant death, the shock would probably kill you as soon as the capsule opened. You only have a handful of minutes at even half that temperature. The pawns have literally gone into shock, advanced human physiology modelling!
The work around, if you don't want to start with them coming out of stasis in full winter gear, would probably be to only start such extreme areas in warmer months and play into the winter... which I might just go do with that seed of yours.

I actually went into the Miscellaneous Mod's Def files and pulled the Trader_Incident_TraderArrival.xml into the _disabled folder for my cold runs. It made no sense to me for anyone to be travelling in those temperatures to trade out of a tent.

Gotta say, "Mods where bugs become features!"
just gotta make a message say "in shock" or something to call it a new feature :)
and yea traders in a tent there sounds stupid.
So i just tried to start again(it was -99C outside this time) and again they refused to build and haul stuff.
I entered god mode and made them a nice and warm place of +24C.
They moved to the warm spot only after hypothermia became serious, warmed up but still refused to build anything.
Yeah it does seem kinda buggy at times, I've had to give priority orders, draft and undraft, or just save and reload to get some of my pawns moving again. I wonder if there's a wait timer on the "warm up" code or something, it sometimes takes them a good while to realize "Hey I'm warm, I'll work again."
If they refused to work from the onset though, I wonder if there is some sort of "Code shock" going on where the code for the pawn gets stuck or something, maybe by not initially loading into your overview menu or something like that behind the scenes, the pawn is permanently broken. Just like how sometimes visitors will just linger in your base and never leave. They were shocked out of their programmed routine, and just... broke permanently.
It's definitely a bug, but it's probably in the core code, don't know if you could fix something like that with mods...

Indeed they would freeze to death in seconds (like the raiders),
there is a random event which adds wolfs that attack you,
but there is no grass so no herbivores could live there.

Making the animal with some rule about consumption to zero or something? The drawing looks very nice :)
Any chance of toning down the wolves, or scaling them to difficulty? I decided I wanted a challenge so I started a colony on builder on an ice sheet. About 2 weeks in I got attacked by a raider with a knife, no problem. About 1 week later, I got wiped out by 15 psychotic wolves.

I was wondering the same thing, maybe i could look at the wolfies spawn code and see if the outside temperature is high enough and then spawn them.
Sadly i don't know how to do so, Oh well i'll learn it.
I just wanted to say, This is probably my Favorite biome to play on, Thank you for making it possible in this current Alpha build.

Not necessarily a problem, just not proportional to the selected difficulty. I selected builder so that I could focus on figuring out how to survive the temperatures before I started worrying about getting attacked, but I got wrecked by 15 wolves shortly after the first raid. If I had a turret, it would have wiped out all 15, but I had budgeted not to need it until the 3rd or 4th raid.
The way the wolves are now, you are effectively forced to prepare for them even when you've selected a difficulty setting essentially equivalent to sandbox.
I've modified the code that controls the spawning of wolves. It will now always spawn exactly 6 wolves, instead of a random number between 6-12. I've also improved the message you get when the wolves arrive to something that might be a little more fitting.
Just go into the mod folder, then into the Assemblies folder, and replace the Wolfsies.dll file with the one attached to this post.

I got my first wolves at a perfect time, i had a group of traders arrive and 2 of them were in power armor, the wolves killed them and a few others, got cut down to a few by it, and then finished off by my colonists. Funny thing is, i was trying to figure out how to get the power armor guys to die without me being blamed, the weather wasn't cold enough for them to freeze and they were outside my base so i couldn't starve them.

Any chance of toning down the wolves, or scaling them to difficulty? I decided I wanted a challenge so I started a colony on builder on an ice sheet. About 2 weeks in I got attacked by a raider with a knife, no problem. About 1 week later, I got wiped out by 15 psychotic wolves.
Are the woolves that hard for you?
I personally had no problem with them.
(but i'll look into it)
Not necessarily a problem, just not proportional to the selected difficulty. I selected builder so that I could focus on figuring out how to survive the temperatures before I started worrying about getting attacked, but I got wrecked by 15 wolves shortly after the first raid. If I had a turret, it would have wiped out all 15, but I had budgeted not to need it until the 3rd or 4th raid.
The way the wolves are now, you are effectively forced to prepare for them even when you've selected a difficulty setting essentially equivalent to sandbox.
yea, that should be fixed.
I just got this.
(http://s30.postimg.org/z51lfyka9/ssn98c.jpg)
The seed number is mgj8 , avg is about -64c and -94c in Jan.
I modded it to play with cold snap + hard snow 24 hour per day,
however, I still could not figure how to let it made at least 1 disease per day.
I tried this in biomedef but I had no clue
<li>
<diseaseInc>Flu</diseaseInc>
<chancePerDay>99</chancePerDay>
</li>
<li>
<diseaseInc>Plague</diseaseInc>
<chancePerDay>99</chancePerDay>
</li>
<li>
<diseaseInc>Malaria</diseaseInc>
<chancePerDay>99</chancePerDay>
</li>
<li>
<diseaseInc>SleepingSickness</diseaseInc>
<chancePerDay>99</chancePerDay>
</li>
^^ I'm not sure if 99 means 99% or something else.
Also incident change from each story-teller is randomly 3 per day :)
By the way, I just got colonists in 200C situation, they could stand about under 2 hours before they fell to the ground :)
And... please note that, Probably, if it was too cold, colonists seemed to be unable to build at that moment.. In my game from above screenshot, they could not build when the game was started... Nevertheless, trying on other starting months they could. I guess it was too cold to build or something else.
Diseases take several days of sleeping in the medical bed to get over. If you get a disease per day then whats the point of playing?

So i was wondering if its possible to make oceans available for colonization or not? If you allowed it would the terrain generate? or would it bug out?

I would assume it would bug out, (the icesheet still had height maps,etc)
water does not, so Let's try that!
Who knows could make some really interesting maps.

I have no clue, but i also have no clue how to enable a biome either. I figured if it was gonna get tested you would know how and set it up. Kinda why i brought it up here instead of the mod suggestions lol.
Wha.... it works? It works!
ok, now let's change all the ice with water and push an update :p

I'm sorry for the bad(HORRIBLE) quality
WaterWorld added (it comes with IceSheet by default.)
This changes everything!
I cant belive how well it works. Apparently he created a gen for oceans too i guess.
This is incredibly and absolutly great, thank you :)
Wasn't there a mod for fishing somewhere in this forum section? It would be a good addon for this biodome.
Yep, Fishing Pier is still WIP to update it for A8.
Will soon be ready... :)
You can't have a new biome without Sharks now can you?
I've updated the Wolfsies Incident code to cause Space Sharks (They can walk on land) to sometimes spawn in the Ocean biome. I've also added something big and scary to rarely occur in the ocean biome. If it does occur, try to stay away from it, as it'll tear a colonist to pieces in one hit.
How to use: Activate this after activating IceSheet.

jaws just came knocking on your door, and ate it
*cough base color *cough ;D
Ok that looks pretty neat. And also very challenging, especially if you go with the smallest map size. It would be neat to see the raiders show up in boats now, especially if you combined this with the Norbals faction. This demands a whole new playing style too.
Great job on the work
I changed .... watershallow from -999 to 999 lol and I got this (randomly drop where it can)

I was wondering how you guys handle the problem of getting wood (ha ha, very funny) when playing the ice sheet biome? As far as i can tell none of the traders sell it. Is that something i can change myself, and if so, how do i do it? Love the mod, hate the wolves (in a good way).
You will need the fertilizer pump and a section that is sealed off and warm. Otherwise your screwed on wood.

I think you also get some wood in the beginning of the game.
Pretty sure he meant getting more wood, not just the stuff you start with.
Get more wood by creating an indoor grow area. Find some suitable soil and wall it off, put a heater in there and a sun lamp. Create a growing zone and grow your favorite tree in there. Or if you are doing a mountain base just use fertilizer pumps to convert some stone floor into soil and just grow your trees in a growing zone as previously mentioned. It's no different from growing food crops except that it takes a lot longer. However if you use my Xtra Plants mod, there is a bamboo plant which grows way faster than trees and provides a small amount of wood. And my latest release no longer conflicts with this mod when you load this mod before it so they are completely compatible.
Thank you. Perhaps if i just make it through this first winter without solar flares so i can go outside and actually build something, my colonists may not have to die a cold icy death after all. :)
yeah i found out you survive a little easier through solar flares if you keep the temp at 90F or 32C. your colonists will take it just fine and you tend to not freeze as bad in a flare.

Surviving the cold is actually not that difficult. The first raiders usually have a parka on and depending on your difficulty level you can usually equip all 3 starting colonists with parkas rather quickly. Very low difficulty settings of course will be more difficult because of this (ironically) because they only send 1 raider for the first raid usually. Very Challenging difficulty sends at least 3 on all of my games so far for the first raid.
However even with parkas when the temp outside reaches -120f or lower it is lethal within a min even with parkas. So around half the year you end up sealed inside your base.

you can go out for a few seconds though :p
one thing you can do is line the outer rim of your building with one block-wide wall of empty space and stone. that way, the cold has to penetrate through another layer before reaching the rooms where your colonists are during solar flares.
the downsides include extra building material, extra space used, and an extra door colonists have to go through in order to reach the outside

But doesn't heat only go through doors?
Double wall it's a good principle. Like a real construction.
Heat only goes through doors, so all you really need is an airlock system. build an extra entry hall into your base with a gap large enough to hold one turret on each side of the door.
But for those who want extra realism, we can believe it does!
The double wall also presents a tactical advantage: an errant grenade punching a hole in your outer wall won't doom everyone to an icy demise.

you got a point there, cause in winter if your wall gets breached, It can happan that you must say goodbye to the colonists(I speak from experience :D)
It was a awesome, different playstyle.
But even when the begin was really hard, it was really after a few hours, when the base it set up.
All my enemies, exept like 3-4 are diening (i play on hardcore) on the way to my base.
Just the neribals (or what ever this mod was called :D) survive it 80%.
I play on a map where it hits 100C- and in summer -60.
In summer more people arrive, in winter NOTHING arrives me, no traders, no people visiting, no enemys, even the mechas are dieing >D
The worst moment was, when a KI was landing in the middle of Winter.
It was horrible. I thought iam going to die, but i send one guy out there, shoot the KI, mechas coming out, freez to death, and nxt day i went there and shoot it down >D, even when some of my peps lost a finger or a toe due to the winter, but ye, happens >D
What's the mechs negative tolerance limit? I have never seen them getting hypothermia :o
-75 C
and it take long till they freez, but on above 100C, ye well, mb 5 minutes.

Oh god, those pore colonists!
I built an under-mountain tree farm. Even if a solar flare hits, I have wood to start campfires.
Of course I probably won't be able to do that when Fertilizer Pumps get fixed. Beats me how else you're supposed to get wood though - or at least something low-tech which will burn.
so after many restarts and fails to hunger, damn you randy hitting me with blight or flares when my crops are at 99% growth
but one of my better games i managed to last a year, and then winter came around and it got too cold inside my base for crops to grow. its surprisingly fun trying to survive in the ice sheet
World seed: u5zi top left map in temperature readout - one of the middle squares in that icesheet is a -142F Jan temp, -25F July temp, -83F avg temp spot.
I'm not sure if it was a bug or ice sheets aren't just suitable for a mine. I constructed and deconstructed a mine in my game earlier but my colonists won't use it. I tried playing on a different map just to see if I missed anything but the mine worked well in there with all the mods intact as I played the previous ice sheet map. I wonder what could have happened?

Is it possible to make a special Mountain type that is just a path straight to the center of it? Essentially a giant hill covering the entire map (with a little space around the edges for seigers and enemy spawning) and a straight path to the center of it all with things naturally forming around it?

That hard part isn't the cold, it's the lack of fertile ground before hydroponics.
Can't grow on ice, so you are stuck looking for gravel, box it in and heat it up.
The lack of animals also puts a cap on the meal quality.
When winter comes, in September and the temp drops to -70C you more or less have to lock the front door and work on your mines still June.
When the power goes due to solar flares you normal lose all your crops. Keeping the temp just below the too hot temp almost keeps your stuff alive.
Do you have any idea how many heaters and power it will take to even reach the edge of the too cold with t-shirts? (not parka)
(yes, i do realize that when u go into caves, there is no way to cool in hot enviroments, but still... who needs coolers in ice-sheets?)
My Wolfsies event is broken on A9. Anyone else experiencing this with the current version of the mod? Or, did I mix in a mod that disagrees with it? :)
this isn't updated for alpha 9
update please>((
This desperately needs to be updated.
its work for A9..
There are a couple of minor little adjustments that you can do so that the mod works better in A9.
First of all, edit Biomes.xml in the BiomeDefs folder:
You'll want to make sure that the Diseases section reads like this:
<diseases>
<li>
<diseaseInc>Flu</diseaseInc>
<mtbDays>140</mtbDays>
</li>
</diseases>
Also, navigate to the IncidentDefs folder. Disable the WolfsiesIncident by moving or deleting the file out of there.
That should be it.
The mod works fine in Alpha 9 as far as I can tell, but is it even viable anymore? Since the fertilizer pump was removed, how can you possibly get the wood you need (beyond what you start with) for a lot of important workbenches?

How are we even sup-post to get wood in A10 if alpha beavers ate all the trees in every planet in the universe? Traders? NOPE they would have none too! I know traders can actually trade wood in A10 because of the no more planting trees thing.) I.E. Tynan make it so trees can still be sow-able in alpha 10 and we cant lose because our workbench's and wood were destroyed by mortars then alpha beavers ate all things wood so we all starved during winter without food.
BTW there's also a mod now that lets us make rich soil or "tiled soil" halving the growth time of anything on it.

Er, well, you don't, basically.
I designed the Winter Is Here mod around there being a lack of wood available on the ice sheet. Most of the workbenches (except for Brewing, alas) can be bought in kit version from a trader and unpacked. Or, you can use Prepare Carefully to start off with some of them.
Guys I'm sorry for the lack of updates :(
I even had someone give me some art that I never putted in (by mrofa) I'm sorry for this.
It's just I can't work on it anymore at all!(personal/private reasons)
Occasionally I still have time to play rimworld, but I won't give an eta for when or if this mod will ever be updated again.
This will be less of an issue toward A10 as the benches will start working with the stuffs system and not require wood.

There is also no reason you can't trade for wood. I'm totally OK with not having access to every damn thing on every map! :)
You can install Gardening and place your own soil.
Modding the Biome file and stripping out Wolfs worked for me. 7p7h generates a brutal ice sheet.

don't worry the mod is being incorporated into the base game for A11 so you can play it in a couple months
You can also try the Hot and Cold Biomes (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11249.0) mod - it makes the ice sheet biome landable.
