Snow Stockpile Melting

[DaniAngione]

Hey!
Ok, first of all - I'm aware snow should melt since a couple of patches ago.

However, I've expressed my little disappointment about that today (since I used to stockpile snow as a decoration) because, well... I understand that it melts because it's a 'realistic' way to balance the fact that it is now used on a healing item and such. But you should be able to stockpile it if you're high on a mountain top. There's snow everywhere, why would just the stockpiled snow melt?

Surprisingly, Loftar stated that this was, indeed, supposed to work like that:

Make it so it can at least be stockpiled (without melting) on mountain/snow biome

As long as you're far enough up in the mountains that there's snow terrain, it can be stockpiled. If it can't, that sounds like a bug.

He also states (when I said that perhaps it was melting because I was placing the piles on paved terrain):

It's the "height over sea level" (not that there's really any "sea level") that counts, not the actual terrain.

I do live "far enough up in the mountains that there's snow terrain", so I decided to make an experiment:



I have set 3 snow stockpiles. One on untouched snow terrain. One on mountain/stone terrain and another on paved terrain. I'm on a high mountain peak, as you can see below:



However, after a couple RL life hours, all the stockpiles were gone:





I'm aware this is an extremely minor issue, if an issue at all (perhaps I misunderstood Loftar's words or he misunderstood mine (or both)) and it doesn't matter much if compared to the great schemes of the universe and the hearthlands... But...
You know what they say about the little things and it's very reasonable that snow stockpiles wouldn't melt that high above "sea leavel".

This is how I used to use them before the melting patch:



I'd love to be able to do that with the whole village again

That's all - thanks for the attention,
- Dani
