ChickenMadness Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So you can make ice very easily. Can you make snow though? Just curious if it's even possible since there is snow on the map to begin with.

crypticorb Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Nope. Can't think of any real reason to either, the only purpose I use snow for is when I need a waterlock with precisely 30g of liquid, and setting a container with 1kg of ice works the same as snow.

FutureJohny Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Snow and ice have almost all properties same, such as thermal capacity and conductivity, only difference is mass on spawn and sniw being gravity affected tile. Since we can't make natural tiles anyway, there is no real advantage, that snow offers. Honestly, what I am waiting for is mercury and helium, they would be great for various cooling setups.

Can't make natural tiles? You can easily make natural tiles on demand now, with shove voles. Have them suspended on a single tile above where you want the tiles, feed them regolith, and they'll crap out full tiles. You can also melt stuff like slime into dirt, or dirt into sand, both of which make natural tiles when they transition state, though this method is harder to make anywhere you need a tile.

You can also drip feed a bunch of cold water > ice onto one spot and it will turn into ice tiles after it gets to 200kg (actually not sure the exact number) I imagine it's the same for every element if you start it off in liquid form edit: I have an ice farm in my current game (with the gulp fish and slush geyser keeping everything below freezing) The water has a higher freezing temp than the polluted water so I get ice dropping to the bottom of the tank. But occasionally I get ice tiles forming, as you can see in the screenshot. Main reason I was wondering if it's possible to make snow. Been watching the gulp fish making ice and was curious.

Just curious if it's even possible since there is snow on the map to begin with. I've made snow before, unintentionally. Back when I was using hydrogen loops to liquify oxygen I accidentally let some steam into the room and it flash-froze to snow. I haven't been able to duplicate it -- but I haven't exactly tried.
