− | A tile of water | + | A tile of water will freeze into an '''ice wall''', while creating an '''ice floor''' one [[Z-Axis]] above it. The floor can be walked on freely, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of thin, breakable ice at the moment. The ice wall can be [[mine]]d through, which leaves the above ice floor intact. [[Channel]]ing the ice floor will destroy both. Both the ice wall and the ice floor will melt into water when warmer temperatures arrive. |

Ice can be used to build [[construction]]s and [[workshops]]. Ice boulders and objects made of ice will melt when exposed to warmer temperatures (such as inside a fortress), giving it rather limited use. Nevertheless, it's fun to make workshops out of ice, and it's even possible to make [[furnace]]s out of ice, as counter-intuitive as that sounds. |
