Useful Info

Blocks of ice are harmless, fragile statues. You can use Sculpt Simulacrum to create blocks of ice, which will turn into simulacra after a few turns. They are also left behind when enemies are slain by Glaciate (these don't turn into simulacra).

Tips & Tricks

• Much like pillars of salt, these will melt away on their own after a few turns. Don't bother smashing them unless you need to get through.

History

• Prior to 0.31, players did not have Sculpt Simulacrum, so blocks of ice were always useless.
• Prior to 0.27, players could create them with Absolute Zero (and Glaciate, prior to its removal from players).
• Prior to 0.17, blocks of ice were not susceptible to Lee's Rapid Deconstruction and Shatter.
• Blocks of ice were added in 0.14.
