Add igloo construction for little home in artic

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.

an Igloo- 1x1x1 thing?
then i thought- maybe 100 ice can be an Ice wall. maybe in combo with Wood?
Ice Walls. ice Stairs, is that An ICE Window?! yes it is.

something like the masonry bench. but for ICE.
only in the winter biome. ice in the desert?! heck no. just melts. or does that crazy wobble shake and become destoyed. Unless there is a air conditioner in the building?
its crazy.

I REALLY like this idea, and better yet it fits beautifully with the differing requirements of the snowy biome - let's get crazy and suggest snowshoes crafting (or even skis!) to improve survivor move-speed over the Arctic wastes and perhaps ice-fishing as a biome-specific gathering method?
Throw in taming of wolves for a dog-sled team (similar to the bison cart) and suddenly the cold biomes become significantly different to the others...

Now that we have ice as a resource that you can mine and shovel, add ice brick building pieces and ice statues. Lets say, ice construction could be as good as concrete in the arctic, but melt in warmer climates (slowly lose durability and eventually break).

Crafted at advanced or electric masonry bench, using ice bricks and water. Ice bricks crafted at advanced or electric masonry bench, using some super cooled ice, regular ice and water. Water connection required.

Shouldn't be too expensive to add this feature, considering the models are already in the game. All you need is a texture/material change.

Same with statues, take the stone statues and make them ice. Statues could also melt in warm climate.

also make these ice walls and snow walls melt based on temperature when outside the correct biome, same speed as thatch with wind
