Is it possible to do the Sea Ice challenge in A17?

[Sola]

If so, I'm doing something wrong.  Temp set to minimum, settling on north/south pole, but the temperature seems significantly warmer than the older versions of this challenge.

Like.. there's a polar bear walking around on day one, not suffering the ill effects of the weather, when even Thrumbos died in the A16 version.

EDIT: Looks like I can't set a permanent cold snap in A17 using the scenario editor.  Any tips?

Well, temperatures have increased a little, from around -110ºc to -85ºC in A17 because it was too much. Temperatures won't get as cold as A16 but, It is possible to do it. You aren't doing anything wrong.

Also just wait until winter comes, you'll notice how hard it is.

Climate change is real, i've always said we should ban deep drilling

So no more "become trapped for the winter" scenarios? I really enjoyed the game few alphas back, when half the year the temperture didnt go above -100°C. I didnt have to worry about raids in winter, but I had to manage serious lack of resources and poor mood due to having only 1 room with above-zero temperature. Was really fun. 

Especially when evil ship crashed on the other side of map in autumn

Not even.  the difficulty difference was enormous.  The difference in the amount of time that could be spent outside between A16 and A17 alone trivialized the first year of the game (And as such, the whole run)

Sadly, unless the temperature scale slider increases in A18, the Sea Ice Extreme I know and love is gone forever

Since CO2 freezes at ~-80C, wouldn't this create some problems for tribals especially? Frostbitten lips etc?

Used a mod to get permanent cold snap back, but it's still nowhere near as cold.  Wandering muffalo still making it way too easy.

Would it be possible to get ONE more tick on the temperature slider for us masochists?
