Frozen Wastland

Frozen Wastland

We have a super hot map with scorched earth, why not a Frozen Wastland? A freezing map with a fresh new challenge for survivors. With new themed items, weapons, weather effects, mechanics and tames?

 

New terrain of glaciers, Fabien's and moving Ice island. The struggle will be not only for the usual food and water, but also warmth, with thermal heat vents or hot springs caused by a nearby volcano which become a haven for wild creatures due to the warmth and water.

A connected cave system that twists and winds under the map, with multiple entryways allowing for a travel experience protected from the unforgiving, cold surface, with its own threats of what lurks within.

New tames and creatures to help aid in this new environment, a polar bear (use the existing re-skin or create a new game from scratch) with enhanced movement in the snow, a small bat to haunt the caves, that attach in packs, a handful of small insects to assist in staying fed in the caves (harvestable by hand, like berries) with the rare queen to allow for the creation of insect farms. 

New weather effects, a blizzard, similar to the sandstorm, but also freezes the player, a rare warming period that lasts a few in-game days that causes snow to melt slightly and plant life to flourish in theirs brief warmth, and white outs, where visibility is almost completely gone, and a new night time feature in the sky's, the aurora (northern/southern lights) which slowly dance across the sky providing light and hope to any and all.

New items to help fight the harsh environment. Layered cloth armour set, uses a lot more fiber than regular cloth, but provides enough warmth to survive during the average cold day, but not enough to survive colder temperatures (layered fur to fight off the colder temperatures at later level's?). Oil lanterns to illuminate the surrounding area and hang on walls but can be taken down to hold while traveling or put on saddles. A central heater, a device that drastically increases temperature, more than a fire or air conditioner can. A Tek snow mobile, a fast way to travel the surface snow in style. And snow structures similar to an igloo, of various sizes that can only be placed on the surface to provide insulation (Melts during a warm period or if the ambient temperature gets higher than a certain point, due to a heater or to many fires?) A spotlight that can pierce through dence fog or a white out. Ice picks, to traverse glaciers and ice walls safely aswell as use them to destroy and harvest ice blocks more efficiently. And a weather moniter, a small handheld device that warns you of weather changes ahead of time, doesn't work in the caves.

 

I think a map similar to this would compliment scorched earth perfectly, we have tropical/tundra with the islandextreme heat on scorched, underground on aberration and decayed city in extinction, as well as fantasy with Ragnarok and the center (don't know how the center is best representative), why not a frozen wastland to represent extreme cold?
