This is another PR building towards the Ptarmigan Outpost.

  • Liquid plasma is now safely covered by anomaly ice crust, similar to how catwalk works with liquid plasma and lava.
  • New liquid plasma variant which is surrounded by ice instead of snow.
  • New RandomWallRockSnowOreSpawner, a spawner for snowdrifts full of visible ore.
  • New "SnowPtarmigan" biome which incorporates that spawner, allowing for a vein-like effect.

Why / Balance

Being able to cover liquid plasma with ice sheets allows for an "underground plasma" effect and is a little prettier/more naturalistic than catwalk in some cases. The icy variant, in turn, blends better with the crust.

Why a new biome with ore spawners, rather than proper veins? At present, the StationBiome system does not support ore veins like dungeons and mining planets do. This will at least allow crewmembers to go mining, even if it's not pretty.

Changelog

  • tweak: Ice crust produced by ice anomalies now makes the ground over liquid plasma safe to walk on, similar to catwalks.
