Ice not melting

[Jorlash]

Ive run into a few spots int the game where the ice hasnt melted. Particularly in the far east of the map. It says at 100nk but im at 2.3mk??

Does n come before m in your alphabet?

In this case YES
n = nano
m = mili
100nK = 0,1 mK
OR 2.3 mK = 2300 nK and 2300 nK > 100 nK

I have the same wall (eastern edge, north of ship near obsidian field).

I am also baffled by the scales the game uses. Hard to figure what you need when the scales seem arbitrary. So I just kept plugging, to heck with planning!

I am in late game, half way to fish generation.

I think it says somewhere that the ice "starts melting" at whatever temp. A lot of the ice will hang around for quite a while.

There is something very special behind that wall - it is part of the endgame, and the ice will only melt after you've reached very high progress levels in overall terraforming.

Was hoping that was the case. But it is bad game design to provide no clue other than "been there done that" on how to get through the ice. The braille method of landmine detection works...it is not recommended.

same as prime on humble certain ice walls will actually tell you whats required to "start to melt them" i found when i reached that point i built 4-5 of largest heat sources and that effectily melted them after like 3 days in game time (not irl time ) helped alot . if not then your waiting on the heat to reach past certian next point not indicated to fully remove ice not just start. i did notice in one my games before i realized it my heat w/o multipliers in the machines that make them more efficient with multipliers cores/cells added into them my heat and pressure had sorta tappered off to point it wasnt even registering on the terraforming screen as going up so thats when realized it needed a bump or efficency or multiplier to get it past that hump for the ice walls to get gone. sorry not decribing it best or well but hopefully makes enough sense you get the jist

As others have said, viewing it as "ice starts to melt at this temperature" and not "it will disappear at this temperature" will make more sense.

IRL ice forms at 32°F/0°C, an ice cube doesn't just immediately melt into a puddle of water at 33°F/1°C

The Ice melts at certain points of terraforming levels

The liquid lakes level melted most of the ice for me.
The Tree/Zeolite branches level melted pretty much the rest around this time.

The big hk h being inverted is the Tree Branch Level of Terraforming.

Be aware, I was at more than 20 mK when I came in into the Toxic Cave at the east of the map. There wasnt ice when I passed through but when I try to get out of there I find ice at the entrance of the cave and I cant go out. The show a messenge "start melted at 100nk", but I am at much higher temperature, but it's impsossible to leave the cave.
Does anybody know that?

make your own bugged ice post , do not piggy back about your issue that is not same as issue as posters was. your trapped in cave via ice that your claiming was not there orignally is not same as posters post about starting to melt and finsihed melting ice confusion.
