Well inside a room has frozen.
« on: June 25, 2008, 03:37:13 pm »

I built something like that:

Code: [Select]
_________
|        | roof
|__IUI___| well
|        |
|--------|
|        | underground cistern

However, despite the meeting room counting as "inside", the well and the tiles directly beneath it freeze - as if it were outside. It's propably have something to do with the well itself being above ground but I believe it isn't supposed to work this way...

Strangely enough, any room above ground counts also as "light".

Yeah, the constructed roofs are a bit messed up, if you roof someplace over it and wall it in, it still counts as outside in terms of temperature.

In other words, all that matters for temperature is elevation.

I think it actually is a bit different:

all that matters for temperature is: "is there at least a single tile of virgin stone above it?"

which -and this is very funny imho- can be boiled down to:

"Is the tile light or dark?"

Light tiles freeze, dark tiles dont. Amirite?

Aboveground ones freese, underground don't. It's just happens that all aboveground tiles are light and all underground are dark.

you just said what i said in a different way, didnt you?

because if a tile is outside or not just depends if it has native stone above it.

Or if it had a dead tree on it in a haunted wilderness.

Try it some time.  You can actually cut them down and then grow tower-caps on the patch of ground they leave behind (which is always different from the rest of the area).
