Water Temperature
« on: July 22, 2008, 12:02:29 am »
Does anyone know what temperature it has to be to freeze water in DF?  Also does winter lower the temp and if so how much?

Over the past 4 days I have created fortress after fortress and the water won’t freeze.
In the last version the water would freeze in winter in temperate areas but I can’t get it to work now.

the default minimum temperature with the new world gen parameters is 25 degrees Celsius. If you want anything to freeze you'll have to set it below 0 your self by going into the advanced parameters during world gen (press e).

I think those limits are the average temperatures of tiles though,
during winter temperature should drop and during summer rise.

And I take it that the ocean will never freeze.
