ARCTIC+ | Arctic Ice Pack
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 [url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FHousebirdGames%2Farctic-ice-pack][b]GitHub[/b][/url][github.com].
How to Use
[list]
[*] Start creating a new world in Stormworks
[*] Go to [b]Enabled Mods[/b] → [b]Workshop[/b] tab and enable [b]ARCTIC+ | Arctic Ice Pack[/b]
[*] For arctic missions, go to [b]Enabled Addons[/b] → [b]Workshop[/b] tab and enable [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3708444393][b]Arctic Plus Missions[/b][/url]
[*] If you want a pure arctic playthrough, you can disable all other addons and run [b]Arctic Plus Missions[/b] on its own
[/list]
This mod and the missions addon are designed to be played together.
[b]Note:[/b] The ice sheet covers the arctic ocean, which means water-based vehicles may glitch beneath the surface in that area. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3708444393][b]Arctic Plus Missions[/b][/url] is specifically built for the arctic environment and works well alongside this mod.

Notes
[list]
[*] This is an [b]experimental mod[/b] – 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 [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3708444393][b]Arctic Plus Missions[/b][/url] 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

Features that would be cool, but do not seem to be possible to implement
[list]
[*] Ice being breakable
[*] Specifically not spawning ice in certain locations (i.e. harbors) – this is seed-dependent
