+ | [[Water]] in Dwarf Fortress can '''freeze''' to become ice if the temperature is low enough and the water is exposed to the air. The tile must be tagged as 'Above Ground' in order for the temperature to get low enough, as all 'Subterranean' tiles remain at a consistent [[temperature]] of {{ct|10015}}. However, inside glaciers even 'Subterranean' tiles appear to be cold enough to freeze water. | ||
Water at level 1/7 freezes to become an ice floor. | Water at level 1/7 freezes to become an ice floor. | ||

− | One of the first challenges presented by a freezing climate is the lack of [[water]] in any conveniently drinkable form. Along with trees, water may be the hardest resource to obtain. The ice chunks left behind while digging through ice cannot be melted into drinking water. There are several ways to approach a freezing area. One of them is embarking with a [[volcano]] in site, utilizing the natural obsidian surrounding it to create [[magma-safe]] floodgates and mechanisms to effectively melt ice. Another is to penetrate to the cavern levels, which may have water in liquid form. Note that [[ice]], which may be melted by [[magma]] or other heat sources, | + | One of the first challenges presented by a freezing climate is the lack of [[water]] in any conveniently drinkable form.

Remember that staying outside too long can cause your livestock and dwarves to die from exposure if the temperature is low enough, although clothes and armour may help to stave it off. | Remember that staying outside too long can cause your livestock and dwarves to die from exposure if the temperature is low enough, although clothes and armour may help to stave it off. | ||
