Sea Ice is a cold biome type within Rimworld.
Summary[edit]
Sea Ice maps do not have geothermal vents or ruins (except in ancient complex sites). Deep drills cannot dig up stone chunks and moisture pumps will only generate more ice, which means it is impossible to grow anything on the ground. You will need to do hunting, trading and cannibalism until you get a heater, a sun lamp and a hydroponics basin. It is worth mentioning that Sea Ice was designed to not allow colony building, only to allow traveling in the area, even though it is possible.
