Frozen Zone (And Mammals)

Subnautica has many different zones, but one that I would like to see most is either a frozen island to either the north or south OR an enormous glacier that you can't climb up but you can swim underneath. If they added a frozen island, I suppose it could come with some more diverse species, like seal/walrus looking mammals lying on the snow or feathered birds flying above (not everything has to be reptilian because we're in space :) ). If they did add an underwater glacier biome I imagine it stretching far down in some places, with stone pillars rising up, and small luminous corals at their peaks. Ice would be above, so no breathing above water. You would have to come prepared with a seamoth, cyclops, or even build a base under the ice. With the glacier you could still have mammals swimming around, but also luminous fish and shrimp and crabs. Also, imagine a reverse cave that stretched upwards into the glacier, that you would have to use your exo's grapple ability to get through.

Even if we never see an icy biome, I would love to see some mammals in the game (perhaps some sea lions swimming around the mountain island). All just a thought :)

    I'm gonna tell you this now, the devs made this reference sheet a good long while ago. We may very well see an Arctic biome, especially since they even made a reference sheet. latest?cb=20150324161946

    Woah, that's pretty cool! :) I can't read the writing though, but I can see a beluga whale. Does it say things about aquatic mammals too?

    Hope they'll add a pain effect to temperature so if it falls below a certain amount you start taking damage and freezing to death

    I reeaaaally hope they add that. If not during Early Access, then some time after the big 1.0 release.

    if they include this biome, where will it lie? the water is far too warm in any current location, so you'd probably have to go a long ways north or south to reach it. so a late game area, where the other survivors potentially have relocated to.

    Or just above the mountains? They don't seem too warm, even the island looks a bit nippy :)

    The whole map can be one-big-floating-island with some sort of vulcano activity that makes water warmer. But whole ocean can be cool like ice. And full of different islands (D! L! C!) :D

    One idea I had was if they implement teleportation from the warpers, you could be sent there by the Warpers - willingly through tech you reverse engineer by scanning them, or unwillingly through their warping. Or by following them through? It would give the devs the freedom to create a diverse biome that doesn't necessarily have to be physically attached to the biomes we currently have.

    the other idea with warpers, is that they could lead to a whole new set of biomes set in any variety of temperatures or orders. so an area could nearly be entirely koosh and small pockets of other biomes. alternatively: sea treader paths could be expanded on, as a way to transport between areas.
