So I'm trying to get it so that my dwarves have an overall lower body heat and higher resistance to low temperatures. Can anyone help me figure out how to mod this in?

Might as well tell you why I want it to, since another question ties in.

I want to make some "Frost Dwarves" and live smack dab on the middle of a glacier.

Which brings me to this.

Can anyone help me figure out how to make it so I can have my craftsdwarf turn mined out ice blocks into ice armor and swords

Kind of like making bone armor and obsidian swords...just with ice.

[KaelGotDwarves]

HOMEOTHERM tag and LAYERING tags in the creature_standard raw.

HOMEOTHERM edits their body heat- it's typically 10067-ish. You can FORCE TEMP by checking out the spirit of fire raw. 25000 will cause everything around them to burst into flame, 500 or less will cause everything around them to freeze.

If you don't feel like messing with body heat and sometimes accidentally having shit bursting into flame and freezing all over the place, give them a layering of 300 and they should be able to survive most tundras and glaciers.

I'm not sure about using ice as armor/weapons, check other threads. I know you can modify what ice is used for and perhaps force a smelter reaction. If not you can create a weapon that causes [COLD] damage in the weapon raw that freezes bodyparts.

Is there a way to add the ice as a stone so I can build walls with it

Yes. Play vanilla DF. So says my ice tower.

[Greiger]

You could also mod dwarves to have a low cold damage point. 

I've done that to make my custom race more vulnerable to cold, it should work in the other direction too.

[Zargen]

I am. And it isn't working. It doesn't register as stone for walls or floors :/

[Nonanonymous]

Look for 'water' instead of ice.

[Earthquake Damage]

You might be able to create a cold temperature race simply by modifying HOMEOTHERM, but that's not the way I do it since I really don't understand how that tag works.

I've used LAYERING (temperate creatures are around 100, tundra 200, arctic 300), but that also seems to affect where the civ thrives in world gen.  If you crank it to some ungodly number like 9000, the dwarven civ may fail to spread or simply die out.

I prefer to use COLDDAM_POINT or whatever it is.  For an arctic race, I like to set it right at or just below the lowest recorded Earth temperature (can't recall what it is;  check wikipedia).  Remember that the temp scale is essentially Fahrenheit, only with freezing at 10000 instead of 32.

In fact, I like making my dwarves comfortable in low temperatures just so I can remove their clothes without worrying about frostbite.  Less clutter, less hassle.

[Neoskel]

Regular dwarves actually do pretty well in deathly cold glaciers, as long as they have their clothes on i guess. Unfortunately the cold means you can't place any meeting areas above the stone layers and traders tend to die off if the depot is above the stone layer. Good news is that kobolds die near instantly upon entering the map.

[Zargen]

Homeotherm is a no no to touch. Layering seems on the money though.

Now on to water. Makes for a great building item on the glacier. But I wish I could make blocks out of it. What do I have to edit in the raw files to set it up as a blockable object.

[Zargen]

bump.


Still stumped on how to make water(ice) acceptable as a material for block construction. :?

[Earthquake Damage]

You can probably make a smelter reaction (which would require a new world) that converts rough ice to ice blocks.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Perhaps making water an economic material?

If you ever get a race to settle on a tundra, let me know. I've been trying for quite awhile with no luck. Here's a race of mine that's practically immune to cold temperatures if you need a point of reference:
