Frozen lakes ...

[ĐrαGoɳS' uK]

Have started building on one of the lakes which has a waterfall, it's winter now and was hoping to build further out while the lake was frozen, but it hasn't frozen...?
Does anyone know if it's only certain lakes that freeze ?

Thanks!

What I had to do is save and reload, then the unfrozen lake would freeze.

I was planning to experiment a little and check that out myself. Next time I play, I am going to head as far south on the map as I can and set up a temporary base and stay there over winter season and see if lakes freeze over. By the way, you can still get fresh water to drink from rivers if the lakes are frozen over.

Only ponds and seas freeze. River or Lakes and waterfalls dont freeze.

some areas only freeze after you reload or leave area for a while. Same with thawing, i had my home lake frozem in spring until i went away for a while.

This one doesn't freeze over. To build in the middle of the lake, you need to create a horizontal scaffolding system with logs (place logs in a straight line into the water with a perpendicular log at each end to raise them to ground level).

The only issue is that you'll have babies stuck under your base when they show up, and it's not really viable to bring Kelvin or Virginia into it with you (you certainly try via smacking them with the repair hammer for 0 damage).

What exactly do you consider a lake then? There is the one (or what I consider one) upstream from the pistol on the beach right and near the crossbow cave and at the bottom of the hill from the mountain spawn that has a tiny island in the center, which freezes every winter cycle as well as any large body of water I have come across. Only the rivers and waterfalls don't freeze.

Yeah his translation from German doesn't make sense... In English the "sea" is exactly that, but "See" means lake in German... He basically wrote either "Only ponds and The Sea freeze, rivers and lakes not" or "Only ponds and lakes freeze, rivers and lakes not" which both don't make much sense... o.0

google trans be like heheh
