I decided to do conquer a glacier and i noticed that i can't make doors and such out of ice. Is it possible to mod it in or is it impossible?
I searched the raws for water and ice but i couldn't find anything to change.

Water and ice are hardcoded into the game, unfortunately. Sorry

You can add in woods, metals and stones named ice, and then reactions to make them from. To save you some time, and since I already have files as such

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

put into matgloss_stone_mineral

Code: [Select]

[NAME:ice][COLOR:3:7:1][TILE:156]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'*']
[SOLID_DENSITY:200]into matgloss_metal

and then put this into reaction_standard in order to change mined-out ice into any of these at the smelter

bit of a wall o' text, but it gives you an easier time with glacier fortresses

I'm pretty sure liquids can't be used at the smelter...

[florian]

Actually, I think you should be able to use ice at a masons' workshop. Ice could be an economic stone (look into your {z} "Stone" menu).

That's not what he's doing. He's using the "water" stone created when ice is mined out. Funnily enough, putting LIQUID_MISC into the reaction instead of STONE should work in exactly the same way.

Doesn't work, unfortunately. Mined ice can be used to create buildings but pretty much nothing besides that.

Smelter reactions can do weird things. I can make Ice Blocks and Ice Rocks so I bet you can make doors and weapons and the like you just have to figure out the correct reaction strings to make them.

Given that those work you should be able to do something like

Not having tested this it might not work, it may also do weird things.
