Mega Update 2: Into the Ice! (v206.1)

New Quests:

• Into the Ice: When you have collected all the Power Stones, head deep into a Polar Ice Dungeon to discover what lies beneath...
• Master Cartographer: Get at least 40% of the ATLAS Discovery Zones

Skills and Feats:

• Feat: Instant Hotbar Equip, unlocked after completing "Master Cartographer" quest.
• Feat: Harvest boost, unlocked after completing "Into the Ice" quest.

New Levels: 

• Ice Dungeon: Found in the polar region, can only be entered if players have unlocked all the 9 power stones
• New Islands: Multiple equatorial and polar islands added to the ATLAS!

New Boss Fight:

• Snowman
  Activated lights in boss arena now power a shield that maintains the Snowman's ice armor. Killing a round of minions will disable the shield, prevent minion spawns for a short duration, and allow the ice armor to receive damage. When minion cooldown is over, shield reactivates. When ice armor reaches 0, Snowman's health can be damaged directly and no more minions will spawn until the next health state.
  Upon entering each new health state, 1 extra minion will spawn at a time, and an increased amount of minions will be required to be killed for the shield to be deactivated/start minion spawn cooldown. When in the last health state and ice armor is destroyed for the final time, chaos ensues, and minions will continue to spawn until the boss is killed. Progress of minions to kill and ice armor are shown via floating hud.

New Structures: 

• Offensive Structure: Torpedo Launcher and torpedoes. Skill is obtained after completing "Into the Ice" quest.
• Building Structure: 3x4 Medium Gates
• Utility Structure: Ice Box - a high-insulation box for generating ice in cold areas. Has “active” mode that will drain ice but reduce surrounding temperature (reverse fire). Consumes less ice if “indoors”. New Resource: Ice - Generates over time in cold zones inside of the Ice Box. Decays relatively quickly if not in “insulated” storage. Can be consumed to reduce temperature and the half negative effects of armour weight debuffs for a short duration (15s per ice cube, max of 5 mins). Ice can be placed inside preserving bags to extend spoil times, and also lasts much longer in preserving bags. Relatively heavy.
