Description
Igloo Bricks
Adds a new order to make igloo bricks from ice and snow, which can be used to construct frozen igloo walls. Igloo walls gradually melt if the ambient temperature is not kept below freezing.

Snow Depth Overlay
Includes a snow depth overlay toggle to help find areas with thick snow, which is required in order to make igloo bricks.

Having any sort of construction material, even a feeble one such as this, freely available on Ice Sheet, is a quantum leap for gameplay in this biome. That means you can build structures, even fragile ones, without waiting, hoping and praying for traders to buy construction materials from (stone, steel, maybe wood).

As well as being able to reserve the stone for more permanent structures, the steel for crafting, the wood for furniture. I'm channeling both Ambiguous Amphibian's Ice Sheet challenge (Orange the cannibal) as well as Veequeue's 1000 days of Ice Sheet survival (both solo and multiperson) into this comment.

Only the lack of insects to fight keeps me away from an Ice Sheet run, but I'll do one one of these days.

The mod Worldbuilder by ferny now exists. And you can make your own planets to play on.

Rebranding this mod to focus exclusively on igloo bricks - that way subscribers aren't forced to accept all my other IceWorld content.

Updated for 1.6! Will be play testing to make sure that things are still balanced. Also working on another major feature.

Excited for a 1.6 update to this one for the new biome :)

Igloo walls will start melting if the "ambient temperature" of the wall is above 0C. Ambient temperature is a vanilla game concept that factors in the temperature of adjacent cells, so if one side of the wall is 20C and the other side is 0C, the wall will have an effective temperature of 10C and start melting. In my games I've actually found that my colonists are more comfortable in the winter because it's colder outside, so it allows for a warmer inside temperature without melting the igloo. In the summer where it's barely below freezing, you can't really have a heated igloo.

I'm definitely planning to verify the ambient temperature logic before updating this for 1.6 as things could have changed in the base game engine.
