			Relevant FFFs: [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-432 FFF #432 - Aquilo]

			* Aquilo is a new icy ocean planet. Its surface is almost completely covered in liquid ammonia, and the only land is in the form of icebergs.

			* Using an offshore pump on the ocean returns ammoniacal solution, which can be separated into ammonia and ice with a chemical plant.

			* Ice can be melted into water for power or used to make Ice platform, which is the only way to expand the buildable area. Buildings also cannot be placed directly on ice, and must use concrete or refined concrete as an insulator.

			* Buildings will stop working in the extreme cold, and must be heated with a heat pipe on an adjacent tile. Nuclear plants and the new heating tower can be used to generate heat.

			* The only resources are ammoniacal solution from the oceans, and deposits of crude oil, lithium brine, and fluorine gas found on icebergs and obtainable with a pumpjack. Ammonia combines with crude oil to make solid fuel, and combines with solid fuel to make rocket fuel.

			* Lithium brine is used to make lithium and fluorine is used to make coolant. Both are used in the planet's science pack, the Cryogenic science pack.

			* The cryogenic plant is a new building used for late-game recipes. It has 3 fluid inputs and outputs, a crafting speed of 2, and 8 module slots. It can process some chemical plant recipes, as well as recipes for the Cryogenic science pack, coolant, cooling coolant, fusion power cells, and quantum processors.

			* Quantum processors are a new fourth tier of circuit, requiring ingredients from Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba. They are used to make fusion reactors and the railgun.

			* The Railgun is the game's final turret, requiring both specialized ammunition and electricity, but outputting a base of 10,000 damage per shot in a continuous line in front of it. It has a limited range of 90 degrees, but can be rotated in 8 directions. A handheld version can also be made.

	* Aquilo is a new icy ocean planet. Its surface is almost completely covered in liquid ammonia, and the only land is in the form of icebergs.		* Aquilo is a new icy ocean planet. It can only be visited after using all science packs from the previous planets. Its surface is almost completely covered in liquid ammonia, and the only land is in the form of icebergs.

	* Using an offshore pump on the ocean returns ammoniacal solution, which can be separated into ammonia and ice with a chemical plant.		* Using an [[offshore pump]] on the ocean returns ammoniacal solution, which can be separated into ammonia and ice with a chemical plant.

	* Ice can be melted into water for power or used to make ~~Ice~~ platform, which is the only way to expand the buildable area. Buildings also cannot be placed directly on ice, and must use concrete or refined concrete as an insulator.		* Ice can be melted into water for power or used to make '''ice platform''', which is the only way to expand the buildable area.

	* Buildings will stop working in the extreme cold, and must be heated with a heat pipe on an adjacent tile. Nuclear plants and the new heating tower can be used to generate heat.		* Buildings will stop working in the extreme cold, and must be heated with a heat pipe on an adjacent tile.

	* The cryogenic plant is a new building used for late-game recipes. It has 3 fluid inputs and outputs, a crafting speed of 2, and 8 module slots. It can process some chemical plant recipes, as well as recipes for the ~~Cryogenic~~ science pack, coolant, cooling coolant, fusion power cells, and quantum processors.		* The cryogenic plant is a new building used for late-game recipes.

	* The ~~Railgun~~ is the game's final turret, requiring both specialized ammunition and electricity, but outputting a base of 10,000 damage per shot in a continuous line in front of it. It has a limited range of 90 degrees, but can be rotated in 8 directions. A handheld version can also be made.		* The railgun is the game's final turret, requiring both specialized ammunition and electricity, but outputting a base of 10,000 damage per shot in a continuous line in front of it.
