Ice block melting fast

[Capasak]

Idk if its normal, but my duplicant gonna build Ice block and when that happend it will go from -14°C to 0°C in 2s in 20°C enviroment.

Is it normal that 400kg of ice melt so quick? is it because of water is touching it?

Was there water on the ground when he build it? Water can cause fast temperature transfer to buildings.

the pictures was taken, when its gonna be build, so yes. So that is why it melted so fast? because of water?

1) Water has high heat conductivity, and 2) since the sculpture is a building, it has 1/5th of its mass for thermal calculations.

I had the very same happen a while ago. In my case it also seemed to be the water conductivity. I had more water than you though. But still, it seems that your 10 tiles of water have about ~150 litres in each of them. So it is approx ~1500 litres vs the 400 litres from your iceblock. You should see a slight temperature change and mass increase in the water tiles for each iceblock that melts.

I didn`t know this calculation detail with buildings, thank you.

BTW I have the same when I buy 1 liter of ice cream...I open the box, put a spoon in and its gone in no time !

Didnt know that 0.609 (DTU/(m*s))/°C do this quick change.
