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 started a game with a -120oF winter and I started the game in December and its mid may now and all of my colonists are fine. I landed in -127o 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.

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! :)

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.
When in doubt, rely on everyone else to fix up your .xml

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.
