Should probably include some information on melting the ice, as this is a common question. sinoth 10:44, 16 November 2007 (EST)

Ice is listed as a fire-safe material, and fire-safe materials are listed as being usable for creation of magma-powered buildings. Does this mean one can make a magma forge out of ice stones? Rkyeun 14:29, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I tryed to get water out of ice by dropping it a floor but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? Diabl0658 23:49, 30 November 2007 (EST)

It no longer seems to work as of 33d, I'm removing that part from the page Klada 20:55, 3 December 2007 (EST)

Regarding melting ice, I found that if you melt ice, drain it off to a 2 or 3, and then shunt the magma off somehow (happens often when magma first flows, due to ebb and flow of the magma waves) the 2-depth water will re-freeze, allowing you to re-thaw it into a 7-depth water. ... I found this out the hard way actually, since the magma waves caused successive re-thaws for the water to flood out my then-thought-to-be-way-too-big water pit. --CrushU 21:20, 7 January 2008 (EST)CrushU 21:20, 07 January 2008 (EST)

Value of ICE

What's the material value of ice? 1? Noctis 07:51, 31 December 2007 (EST)

Whatever ice boulders are worth I would assume. Probably 2. Lightning4 08:31, 31 December 2007 (EST)
0 Water is free so is ice. It doesn't even have a material entry it is hard coded in the game I think. --Ikkonoishi 10:56, 31 December 2007 (EST)
