Ice Sheets are a cold biome type in Rimworld.

Ice sheet[edit]

Ice sheets are one of the most challenging biomes in the game, featuring extreme cold, no plant life, scarce wild fauna, and no possibility of growing crops outdoors.

The only land possible to farm is stony patches around hills and mountains, but they need to be heated indoors and also have sun lamps. You will need to hunt, trade and cannibalize until you get a heater and a sun lamp. Later, moisture pumps can create larger growable areas and hydroponics can be used instead of ground. Geothermal vents can be used for free heating. With so few animals here, any predators that roam in will become hungry soon and target your colonists and animals.

Flora[edit]

None.

Fauna[edit]

Additionally, these animals can spawn in coastal maps:

If the map is pollutedContent added by the Biotech DLC, then the game may choose to spawn in wild animals from this list instead:
