  Having more use for the arctic's most iconic resource would be appreciated and help make it feel more worth exploring. As it stands, were it not for the mammoth task, there really wouldn't be any reason to bother with the zone at all. Exotics to chase will help come launch but making the zone feel special beyond that would only be a good thing in the end.

  Agreed, it feels like the biome would also need more biome-specific resources and mechanics. There's obviously ice, but current use is limited to "put it in the ice box" and "melt for water".
  An igloo looks a nice idea, even just a snow wall crafted with shovel and unlocked with thatch maybe is cool.
  
  Didn't went past the latter half of the explorable area, but the scarcity of wood was hard. Maybe add a couple lone trees, like one per map grid.
  The caves felt different, needing ladders and ramps to navigate, that felt good. Breakable ice structures could be added in those caves.

  Even a basic snow shelter to let you survive, or die in peace.

  I think making a base from ice in the Artic Biome would be a neat addition since there is tons of Ice there already.

  A good way to do this would be to make "ice blocks" like we make out stone and wood that can then be free placed similarly. Hopefully not requiring 100 ice each, maybe something more like 10-20 ice chunks.

  Love it.
  
  Allow pickaxing ice blocks from a frozen lake and if you have let's say a hundred you can construct an igloo ☺️
  
  Or have ice components like
  - a quarter dome
  - a curved wall
  - a tube
  This way you could build big ice complexes or a simple igloo

  Maybe the #BW3 tag should be pulled since this is still a valid proposal.

  There could even be an "Enhanced Igloo" that uses Stone and Snow together, and is Highly-resistant to Polar Bear Attacks. It would also be nice to have some sort of Clothing to decrease the Cumulative effect of the Cold on the Player. It makes it even harder than it would otherwise be to justify going into the Arctic Biomes, and has nearly forced me to Reset Missions.
