As a way to test my ice armor I made ice halflings.

Long story short, dont piss off creatures made of ice.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Wow. How many Halflings does it take to take one of the Ice Halflings down?

Also, yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. Even with a more reasonable interpretation of it's jaw, it still looks horrifying.

[Urdothor]

It takes between 2-4 unarmed halflings.

The ice is brittle, but thick enough to block several attacks before shatfering
Five vs five resulted in no ice halfling casualties.

Due to the relative thickness of ice, the halflings are much smaller and weaker upon melting.

If I wanted to prevent a tissue from getting frostbite, what values would I need to change, and to what?

Set their materials to have a lower cold-damage point. To do this for every part of their body, give them the following:

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
[COLDDAM_POINT:NONE]

[Urdothor]

Thank you!
My icepeople getting frostbitten isnt a good thing.

[Urdothor]

I went through the raws and fixed a few typos and/or inconsistent spellings. I hope that this doesnt step on any toes.
Edit. Spelling fixed

[Urdothor]

Can you get boulders from normal ice, and if so, does it differ from boulders from glacial ice?

[WillowLuman]

Ice is ice. You can build stuff from it, but the boulders melt if you bring them indoors, as will anything other than constructions.

[Urdothor]

Well, I know ice from glaciers is permanent when built with, even during the summer, so I wondered in what ways the game defined them.

Edit, The wiki shows a slight difference but I wondered how far it extended.

[WillowLuman]

It's not the fact that it's glacial ice that prevents it from melting, it's the fact that the stuff built is constructions. That is, anything constructed under (b)uild -> (C)onstructions, since those are effectively treated as terrain. Workshops, furniture, etc. will all still melt when it gets warm enough.

All structural ice is the same. The different ice is the kind produced from frozen water globs/spatters, such as within an adventurer's waterskin in cold areas. Or from any creature that secretes solid water or emits it through interaction. A creature defined as being made of ice will use the structural kind, though.

[Urdothor]

Thanks for clearing all that up for me.
The wiki is a bit unclear, and a bit off on these things.

[Urdothor]

Underground temperature is 10015*U. My icemen melt at 10016*U.
Once you get underground you are safe to heal your people.


Heres a question. Can melted off tissue be healed?

[WillowLuman]

I don't know. Perhaps, but not if the body part completely melts off.

[Urdothor]

I'll have to do some testing I guess.
Time to melt some ice halflings(they are my placeholder creatures until I get the tissues figured out)
