Notecja Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 probably game counts it as rock, instead of what it should be. Actually I would welcome little little reality and stop ice from sinking. instead I would ask to make hounds teeth sinkable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigfrids hat Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 ice sinks because shipwreck would crash if all the ice did not melt when it landed in the ocean. dst was made using a lot of the same code and so ice does melt in dst too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent played much shipwrecked so im likely wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornete Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It sure is a weird mystery. All inventory items float by default, so they had to go out of their way to make ice sink. I guess the devs just consider ice to be a rock? Ice's file is called "inv_rocks_ice" after all so shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent played much shipwrecked so im likely wrong it is hail but it is the same item type as ice, sorry i shortcutted to keep it succinct. refined hail and unrefined hail both sink though XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-met Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 probably for the same reason a person can eat infinite stacks of ice in a moment with no health penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCactus69 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 To be fair, ice in real life is dedicated as a rock. To also throw your head through a twirl, melted rock is lava. Ice is a rock. Water is magma. We also DRINK that said water. WE ARE LAVA MONSTERS! Your Welcome! Sincerely, Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlVoid Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The better question is: Is ice wet? To answer your question: Ice sinks because Don't starve physics go brrrrrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudoku Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Remember, in SP glaciers, when mined, also give rocks, so I imagine just like how they are called ice rocks in the code that they share the same behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really die, they just wash up to the closest shore. Please don't traumatize me for the times I've abandoned ship as Wurt to get to the shore I desired.
