IceWorld: Igloo Bricks

Description
Igloo Bricks
Adds a new order to make igloo bricks from ice and snow, which can be used to construct frozen igloo walls. Igloo walls gradually melt if the ambient temperature is not kept below freezing.

Snow Depth Overlay
Includes a snow depth overlay toggle to help find areas with thick snow, which is required in order to make igloo bricks.

Suppose I must have another mod that specifically adds in snow doors, in that case. Sorry for the mix-up.

could be cool to (optionally) add just a little bit of transparency maybe, just as a reminder that it's not a real wall:

This mod only lets you make igloo walls - not doors. I typically make a wooden door for my first igloo, and then use animal flaps for subsequent shelters since leather is somewhat sustainable in cold biomes.

Cool stuff, but it seems the igloo doors do not melt?

Having any sort of construction material, even a feeble one such as this, freely available on Ice Sheet, is a quantum leap for gameplay in this biome. That means you can build structures, even fragile ones, without waiting, hoping and praying for traders to buy construction materials from (stone, steel, maybe wood).

As well as being able to reserve the stone for more permanent structures, the steel for crafting, the wood for furniture. I'm channeling both Ambiguous Amphibian's Ice Sheet challenge (Orange the cannibal) as well as Veequeue's 1000 days of Ice Sheet survival (both solo and multiperson) into this comment.

Only the lack of insects to fight keeps me away from an Ice Sheet run, but I'll do one one of these days.

The mod Worldbuilder by ferny now exists. And you can make your own planets to play on.
