Frozen Biome has no Critters.

Sometimes Liquid Carbon Dioxide may naturally appear due to low temperature.

Note that melting Ice and Snow tiles directly will grant twice as much water, than through mining and melting. The only reason not to vent any excess heat towards a frozen biome is that it will likely disrupt wild Sleet Wheat.

(Potential Bug: in actual game it seems the CO2 Lakes variant in Rime Asteroid is around -20 °C).
