Water Into Ice
« on: October 19, 2013, 03:50:44 pm »

1) How do I prevent my water from freezing into ice while traveling in a cold biome?
2) If it freezes, how do I change it back into water?

Make a campfire and use it to heat the waterskin until the ice melts. There's not much you can do in the way of prevention, but it's so easy to melt the ice that it's not an issue.

I wonder if it's possible to mod in a type of waterskin/container with a higher temperature to prevent the freezing?

It is, in a way; you have to mod the material to have a fixed above-freezing temperature. I don't remember the exact tag, but you can borrow it from the Nethercap raws and copy it onto the leather template, upping the temperature to a liquid-friendly value.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

To be accurate, you'll need:

1) make a campfire
2) (I)nteract, choose ice
3) choose "heat ice"
Then you have water.

If you manage to find some alcohol, it won't freeze. I believe blood won't freeze either.

if you have water coatings you can also just hang out by the fire and the coatings will melt on their own after a couple of turns
