Ice Sheets Mod

[BassMonroe]

Hi everyone, can somebody please tell me what the ice sheet mod is and what it does?
I noticed it is being implemented into alpha 11 (From changelog, Correct me if i am wrong)

Thanks

You will be able to settle colony on ice sheet.
(Data i got from playing the mod)
Standart temp in hotest season is around from -5 to -18
Standart temp in cold season is around from -70 to -100 (at around -90 -110 even mechanoids get frost bites )
No animals
No trees
No grass
Good side:
In cold season most enemies dont even get to your base alive
Free fridge everyware

-70 to -100 brutal. Hmmm... at least your ice cream won't melt.

Mind you, that's In celcius, It's pretty cold.

Its suprisingly fun to play on. Definitely need double thick walls and heaters though.

You want to look into MarvinKosh's Ice Pack/Winter is Here once it's updated for Alpha 10.

Sounds like a challenge, I'll definitely be giving it a try

Dont be afraid to eat visitors even if they are friendly, anything other than that is easy.

Quick question, how do double thick walls compare to [wall, space/rubble, wall]? Better, worse?

I haven't tried using an extra layer of walls in a while (as opposed to double walls) but it functioned as you would expect - it gives you a buffer against the outside, in the same way as having an airlock between inside and outer doors.
