[40c] Freezing water and ice blocks not behaving like they used to
« on: September 04, 2008, 12:30:39 pm »
Trying to make a fortress of ice in the new version:

1) After five maps with "temperate" biomes, I've yet to see any water freeze during winter. Tried a "cold" biome, and only two tiny pools out of many ever froze, even through I have half a river and lots of other pools that visually fall definately into the "cold" biome part of my map.

2) On that same "cold" map, mining the little ice I did have generated no ice blocks at all. Mining ice on a "freezing" map generated ice blocks as expected.

I'm pretty sure this has been like this for several versions.

I wouldn't know exactly though since when i want ice i embark on a glacier.
