Reaction Question: Ice
« on: May 08, 2009, 11:32:42 pm »
We know how to make stones and things from smelter reactions.

I'm wondering this; is it possible to make a smelter reaction to make ice?

I find the idea of pumping out ice 'stone' and building an ice tower in the middle of the desert to be hilarious.

Ice doesn't have a matgloss that I can find, so hmm... how would one do it?

What you are looking for is [PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:WATER:NO_MATGLOSS] This has been proven to work, and the ice matgloss itself is taken from the blizzard man's itemcorpse.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

only in Dwarf Fortress do you build a water tower out of water.
