ARCTIC+ | Massive Playable Ice Sheet for the Arctic
Walk, Drive & Land on the Frozen Arctic Sea
Adds a large, walkable ice pack to the arctic region. Drive vehicles across it, land aircraft on top, or dive underneath with a submarine. The ice is built from overlapping irregular polygon slabs – pentagons, trapezoids, squares – for a natural low-poly look.
Just enable this mod when creating a new game and the ice appears in your save. It does not affect other saves or your game files. Source code and a fully configurable version are available on GitHub[github.com].
How to Use
- Start creating a new world in Stormworks
- Go to Enabled Mods → Workshop tab and enable ARCTIC+ | Arctic Ice Pack
- For arctic missions, go to Enabled Addons → Workshop tab and enable Arctic Plus Missions
- If you want a pure arctic playthrough, you can disable all other addons and run Arctic Plus Missions on its own
This mod and the missions addon are designed to be played together.
Note: The ice sheet covers the arctic ocean, which means water-based vehicles may glitch beneath the surface in that area. Arctic Plus Missions is specifically built for the arctic environment and works well alongside this mod.
Features
- Large ice sheet covering the arctic ocean
- Fully walkable and driveable surface
- Land aircraft and helicopters on the ice
- Dive beneath the ice with a submarine
- Natural low-poly look with open water leads between slabs

Notes
- This is an experimental mod – bugs and edge cases are possible
- Addons that spawn ships in the arctic ocean (e.g. default career missions) may cause vehicles to get stuck in the ice, leading to lag or glitches – you may use Arctic Plus Missions instead, which is built for this environment
- For some world seeds the arctic docks might be covered with ice which can lead to glitches/issues (share your favorite working seeds in the comments)
- This workshop version only affects the save you enable it on
World Seeds

Known Compatibility List
Known Incompatibility List
Features that would be cool, but do not seem to be possible to implement
- Ice being breakable
- Specifically not spawning ice in certain locations (i.e. harbors) – this is seed-dependent
If something looks off, leave a comment – I'm actively working on this.
