EDIT: I forgot that the SHC of Ice is 2.05, not the same as water's 4.179. So we're getting 17m DTU out of the ice maker, not 35m.

I usually shy away from making videos on some of the more egregious exploits in the game, but I think Klei deserves this one after letting the abyssalite bug creep its way back into the game.

The central idea of this exploit is that when liquid solidifies into a chunk, if there is already a chunk of the same element in the tile it solidifies on, the solidifying liquid will not average its temperature with the chunk it is merging into, instead it will simply assume the temperature of the original chunk.

In clearer terms: if you solidify magma on a tile that has a chunk of ultra-cold igneous rock, the magma will not solidify into 1410 C igneous rock, but instead will solidify into ultra-cold igneous rock.

Similarly, if you freeze ice on a tile with a chunk of -200 C ice, the ice will not freeze into 0 C ice, it will freeze into -200 C ice.

Today we show off some quick and dirty builds I made in the last couple hours that abuse this exploit to generate insane amounts of cooling. You wanna use a volcano to cool your base? You wanna create an ice machine that costs almost no power to run produces 35m DTU/s of cooling? This is the video for you.
