1. maybe some events and either bonuses or maluses for helping them end their ice age.

2. Somewhat unique events or a special project i. e. your scientists are trying to find out what caused the ice age to happen.

I like the idea of maybe an archaeological project to identify the cause of the ice age, much like exploring the Frostlands in Frostpunk. Perhaps completing it would unlock terraforming the planet back to continental.

i think it would be nice to have terraforming the planet into one suitable for their species make them your vassal or something like that or have your ships study them like the neutral space creatures and give something like -5% mineral upkeep or 10% more arctic habitability

I was wondering... if you could add this in or make a separate mod to turn it into an Origin?

Basically be a Frostpunk Primitive species that has to research your ability to hit space.

I'm on a MP RP Stellaris discord and one of our modders added in a primitive start origin, but I was wondering if you could do a frostpunk flavoring :D

I do like the idea of adding an origin that lets you build generators to improve habitability on cold worlds, maybe some other stuff. I'd be very interested to see how the existing primitive start origin you mentioned works to have a starting point.

This could work as an origin?
