Mod:Glacius

Glacius is a grueling and challenging map themed around a unique, yet frigid landscape and weather system. While not offering the stunning or flashy colors of other maps, it relies on a carefully crafted gaming experience balanced around the terrain, the biomes, the weather, resource distribution & availability as well as creatures.

Completed features includes:


 * Unique environmental features
 * Custom supply drops
 * New resources
 * New structures
 * New plant species
 * Artifact-themed caves with mini-bosses
 * New weapons
 * Acrophoca, the first new creature.

Upcoming planned features includes:


 * New creatures
 * New boss
 * Custom ascension mechanic
 * Frozen aberrant cave system

Weather & Effects

 * Snowstorm, your regular rain event using snow particles.
 * Blizzard, a heavy snowstorm combined with a thick white fog. Based off the Sandstorm with identical effects.
 * SuperCold, an average 15 to 20 degrees (Celcius) temperature drop, along with a blue-hued screen overlay.
 * Frostbite, a condition opposite to the Heatstroke from Scorched Earth. Will increase as the player stays in a cold/freezing status. As the condition gets worse, the player UI will be slowly covered by an ice overlay and your character weight, melee damage and movement speed will also decrease accordingly.

General

 * Extended spoil timer to reflect the effects of cold on perishables.
 * Re-worked structure insulation values, similar to what you can experience on Scorched Earth. Thatch & wood will grant some protection against the cold while stone & metal will kill your character within a minute.
 * Biome-colored creatures.

Resources
While common resources such as stone and wood are readily available, others like metal, oil, crystal are scarce, but also deliberately buried under regular rocks. Also, some resources like silk or sulfur are only available in very specific locations of the map, to further promote exploration of the map.

Although Glacius will include the vast majority of the resources from paid DLCs, it also add new ones, such as:


 * Snow
 * Ice
 * Blubber
 * Marine Oil
