Outside water will freeze into a wall of [[ice]] if at least 4/7 deep, or a floor otherwise. Freezing ice acts much like [[obsidian]], and will instantly kill anything caught inside of it -- including creatures otherwise extremely hard to kill. In moderate biomes after winter has passed, ice will melt back into ponds. Ice walls will always thaw back into a full 7 units of liquid, regardless of the original water level, but ice floors will produce the original water depth when thawed. {{cite talk/this|Freezing/thawing ice}} |
− | + | Dwarves outside during a snowstorm can have [[Thought#Weather|bad thoughts]] as well as freeze to death, so a very high priority when embarking on a glacier is to dig out some place warm for your idlers to rest. | |
[[Magma]] running under snow-covered ground will melt it, but unlike [[ice]], molten snow doesn't turn into [[water]]. | [[Magma]] running under snow-covered ground will melt it, but unlike [[ice]], molten snow doesn't turn into [[water]]. |
