Adding somthing to avoid while sailing will make it more engaging and fun, rather than just set direction and done. It is snowing, we can have some ice blocks floating.

Not sure icebergs are thing given that the ice caps have melted.......

How about more advanced mines. Make them auto-replicating, self propelled and heatseeking.

#

Icebergs are kind of gone in this world, I fear.

and when I suggested them as a threat my post got ratio'd

a freezing zone with some ice floes/bergs and some small islands with frozen buildings. and using methane as a heat source maybe?

You know the difference between weather and climate, right?

#

You'd need to have constant freezing temperatures over a long time, and it's even harder with an ocean because salt lowers the freezing point AND constant waves make forming of ice crystals harder AND waves also push warmer water from below the surface back up where it melts freshly forming ice.

It's a game ...let it be a game

But it would collide with the basic lore of the game?

In that case, patience is key so the developers can cook up something.

We don't know if the game will have a "we have to recover earth and make it inhabitable again" mode up to a point where we lower temperature enough to form arctic/antarctic ice again. It's at least been hinted on that SOMETHING is part of the game (avoiding spoilers here). IF that's the case, then it might be a nice deviation for late game that we don't have mines but icebergs.

i did a little research on the internet, and if the polar caps melt the ice floes disappears too, other sites telling if it is cold enough and with accumulating snow there can be ice in the ocean. but it would be fun to visit a area with ice and snow.
