I'm curious because I have been attempting to create something of a Moon-Pool for the purposes of fishing, and currently, every time the season changes and the ice melts, a slew of constructions are all of a sudden 'deconstructed'. I've tried it with Floor Grates and Floor Hatches, but in both cases they popped out of place and the room quickly flooded. I should also be clear that the canyon river in which I built is a tad unusual; the river 'had' a single waterfall that was 1z tall, but the initial freeze or biome covers both outflows out of the canyon, resulting in a water back-up in the short-term until the remaining biomes freeze over. It in turn is also the first to unfreeze, which after the first year meant that there is now 2z's of depth in most of the canyon, and the waterfall is gone. The 2z depth is why there is a Moon-Pool in the first place, as from there I can reach the 'River' tiles, whereas when I was fishing 1z level up, I wasn't catching anything.

What I'm wondering is if anyone has attempted anything similar and found a solution, or is it not currently possible?

Added images of the before and after situations, which I should have done from the start.

I don't think there is a solution to ice formation-and-subsequent-melting causing deconstruction of built furniture like grates, hatches, bars and so on. Those items are deconstructed when the tile they are built on is destroyed, which is what happens with the melting.

My only solution for the 'flooding' is to re-build the moon pool such that all positive water pressure (generated from 2 z-levels of stacked water tiles) is negated. Building a series of diagonal paths negates pressure, and could be placed underneath the existing structure. This would not prevent the freezing deconstruction situation of course.
