No Ice Shelves Spawning During New Custom Game

[madkrank]

So it's been a while since I gave C2C a go and after the last SVN update, which was massive in size,exported then I ran and started a new custom game and out of curiosity I opened WorldBuilder and I noticed there are absolutely no Ice Shelves being spawned anymore.

Tried several other map spawning options and none had them either.

WTH happened?

Which map did you use? AFAIK you should use either "world", "tectonics" or "PerfectWorld2f" to get ice, PerfectMongoose won´t give you ice.

Added later: I have just seen that a game made of "tectonics" also has no shelf ice so it could be that you found a more general problem. My information was probably more about the land feature "ice" and not the shelf on the ocean.

Terrain and feature changes. C2C does not use standard terrain. So no you won't see as much ice shelves as you are used to with vanilla BtS.

C2C_World will occasionally give some ice at the poles.

The basic BtS maps that are still in the game like Archipelago, Custom Continents, ets will still give some too. But not like vanilla BtS.

And why are Ice shelves so important?

There is at least one World Wonder that needs ice shelve (Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station). But then, also for me the that is not of big importance...

Not normal ice terrain?

Apparently there are few things needing ice shelf.
Ice terrain is used much more frequently as terrain.

actually I just tried perfect mongoose and it gave me Ice.

Map I usually like using is Archipelago with Snacky Continents and before update used to spawn ice shelves not anymore. Also some other ones also dont spawn Ice Shelves but Perfect Mongoose did just now.

edit: just noticed that both the ice shelves and landmass with ice are both named "ice", wonder if that could have anything to do with it the problem?

Amundsen-Scott definitely needs the Shelf, but as madkrank mentioned it also is called "ice" in the text.

There were some changes to terrain and terrain features that cause the confusion. For while both the land terrain and sea terrain feature were called "ice". This caused more confusion when the next set of changes happened. As far as I can see the terrain "ice" should be called "glaciers" or similar and the terrain feature called "ice flows". Then we could make sure everything fits back as it should.
