100%, wonder what challenges they’ll think of to make it interesting. Maybe some other mechanics around heat are required for some of the recipes or to transport materials (ie keeping something from freezing)
Can't build heavy machines on frozen lakes?
It would be a cool mechanic if you had to mine ice with a mining drill, then heat it up before using it in water-based recipes. Maybe it could be done with a smelter, at the very least as an excuse to give it a fluid pipe graphic for modded recipes too. Would also be cool if you had to keep pipes heated or they’d burst — there aren’t many “maintenance” or “breakdown” mechanics like that, but it could risk being annoying especially if you’re on another planet.
