It is possible to build [[construction|constructions]] out of ice, even underground (provided your dwarves move quickly enough to finish construction before the ice melts). These constructions are then stable even as temperature rises. Pillars of ice walls can even be built within rooms that are later flooded with [[magma]] (though the walls become "warm", they will not melt, due to constructions not currently being able to melt and/or burn{{cite|dev page|http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html}}). | It is possible to build [[construction|constructions]] out of ice, even underground (provided your dwarves move quickly enough to finish construction before the ice melts).
