It's flavor text, they don't melt, you just can't place heat pipes on ice without concrete, that's it

I was using a blueprint with concrete and hazard concrete, when I clicked it to place it the game crashed to the desktop.

It happens every time I try to use it.

If I remove the hazard concrete, the blueprint works fine and there is no crash.

I made (copied) a basic city block blueprint which worked without issue, however when I add concrete to the blueprint and try and use it, my game immediately crashes every time.

This is playing on the Space Age DLC, version 2.0.9.

I've attached the blueprint import string.

Guys, check, why concrete tech unlocks Iron stick recipe, if it's already unlocked? A BUG?

I don't think this is a bug. Several technologies unlock iron stick recipe. And the game cannot know which of those you research first.

... when trying to paste this blueprint on Gleba. I've tried deconstructing all the plants underneath and the crash still persists. Removing the concrete from the blueprint allowed me to paste it. Pasting only the concrete broke it, so it's clearly related to pasting tiles on Gleba. Edit: This ...

... postmodern? You dislike new enemies? Kill, recycle remains, case closed. You dislike Gleba? Pffffffff. Enough Recyclers and profuse application of concrete can solve this. You dislike lack of poop blocks? Well, it's not Terraria, sorry. But I'm fairly certain that I've seen similar tech in tech ...

Encountered it with Quality, Elevated Rails (Oboth from expansion), Alien Biomes, and Cleaned concrete mods running. Removed all but the Base mod and still get this. At first I thought it had to do with some change to Alien Biomes; but I honestly think it has to do with ...

I mean, you just to press Q twice over the ghost you want to replace once the crafting is done. I find it far more annoying when I'm laying concrete ghosts for my bots to place, and my cursor clears when my personal bots remove the last of my 1 stack even though the rest will come from the network.

... there are still some technical issue to figure out first. (For example, right now the data would show that you need the recycling technology for concrete, which is obviously wrong.) Discussion points that were brought up on talk pages, looking for input: How to handle the enemies page? https://wiki.factorio.com/Talk:Enemies#Update_to_2.0 ...

Quite intricate.

... achieve. In 2.0 there are following changes. main tile pictures don't support transparency anymore, so the whole defining transparent tiles using concrete-dummy.png thing is not a thing anymore. material background texture is no longer hardcoded to 8x8 tiles, it can be configured to be arbitrary ...

Replication:

1. Start Rocket Rush
2. Destruction tool the concrete ground
3. Undo

Basically since you start with bots and the tile is destroyable, I believe the space aspect caused a scenario where ground can be permanently removed very trivially, without being able to replace it simply by undoing.

Ah, overlooked that, thank you.

That's definitely gonna be a pain. We'll have to bring a hefty supply of concrete to Aquilo with us, since we can't mine iron or stone to make it on-site.

... the idea of almost blowing up your factory with the fantastically powerful and dangerous chemicals you're working with. But if we don't place concrete on the ice, what is the drawback? We can't build on unexposed ice at all? We can't build heat pipes over unexposed ice? Literally in the same ...

... freeze over", that doesn't make sense. But I also agree it would be pretty boring if all machines heat themselves. What about "insulated concrete"? Concrete that contains heating elements within it, like underground power lines or sewage pipes, and it provides heat within a radius ...

we don't actually turn the ice tiles into ocean... anymore

With high temperature, Ice don't melt instantly, so event a heated area could be buildable with concrete addition before the melt append isn't it ?

It can be back in hard mod i hope

An interesting idea for a planet that brings juicy new mechanisms. That being said, the #1 thing I would add is in-floor heating tiles. (i.e. 1.5x concrete + 1x heating pipe?) For the cost of 50% more concrete, you wouldn't have to try to route heating pipes around structures but could build over ...
