Exploits And Unintended Outcomes
Players use this bug for map control and trap setups. Others see it crash worlds during rescue events. Studies indicate freezing temperatures amplify path errors near ocean edges.
Simple Design Fixes Help
Clear thin ice manually or avoid early ocean shores. One-line takeaway: remove thin ice to keep rescues and raids reliable.
How Can I Remove Thin Ice Safely?
Dig it out with colonists or explosives. Expect immediate path correction after removal.
Do Weather Events Affect This Bug?
