Is there any method of renewing Snow?


Recommended Posts

Many things in the DLC demand the use of the powdery thing that is Snow. But, to my memory, there isn't really functionally any way to renew it? Well, some Spaced Out Meteors give it, I think, but to my memory it has always been in quantities of like, 2-10kg at most, not really up to speed with something that demands 100kg of Snow a cycle, so are we missing something?

I'm curious as to if anything of this sort will be added...

A snow cone machine? Something that consumes snow to make snow cones, and one that shaves ice to make snow?

Yeah I was thinking 2 machines, one that shaves ice into snow, since we have plenty of ways to make ice.   And a new recreational building that takes sucrose and snow to make snowcones.

I don't think we need a new building. There should just be a recipe to put ice into the rock crusher and get out snow.

If they had to, i thinks something specific would be better because it gives more control.

would be hard to justify why it would make snow and now "crushed ice", which is already in the game. Or maybe crushed ice should be removed since it doesn't serve any purpose (If only it could be mixed with sucrose, add a bit of color, and be used to give our beloved dupes a brain freeze)...

I feel like the supply chain could be more interesting than simply "use this new building". Not to shut anyone down, but... Maybe... snow... could be... made some other, less straight forward way?

like? a critter that eats X (water or ice, or X) and spits snow tiles like the shove voles do? those trees seem to have some built-in de entombing mechanic. Maybe even a new cold shove vole morph?

I do realize that if it ate say, water, and spat out ice, it would effectively be a cooling method that didn't require 1.2kW and a turbine. Could be limited by a max temp for the input water that it can eat and the output temp of the snow it makes. Not saying it's a good idea, but it could offer a new way of cooling on top of producing snow and would synergize well the the idea that all plants and critters in this DLC work well at low temp.

Lol... all my best thoughts are reliant on spaced out mechanics, which aren't a thing that I imagine klei would be willing to do. What if... applying radbolts to tiles of ice made them flakey and broke them apart into snow? what if, betteryet, it made some sort of cloud of gas that would condense into snow? It's a nuclear winter out there...

yeah I think it has to work in the base game as well :-\
