Many Ice Holes

Today I've been playing on server 1 in a big city.
South of the city were some Ice Holes, I'm talking about 30 of them very close to each other.
I've seen many Ice Holes near big cities before. It could have something to do with patching and loading the same area (if a town gets repopulated after a server restart). Or it is an uncommon situation which only comes to light when people have been living near it for some time.

The steps to check whether this is a bug would include:
Go to the actual place where all the Ice Holes currently are (server 1, south from the big town), and roughly count them.
Go to the actual place on a different server, and check whether there are the same amount of holes.

Problems:
We can't track coordinates anymore, it is hard to find the same spot (but coordinates are still there server-side).
I assume that the different servers generate the same landscape. They may use a different seed. If this is the case, you could set up a new server using the same seed as server 1.

Re: Many Ice Holes

its fine, i like many ponds or many soil, a city with abundant fur is different from one  with abundant soil, makes things different, its just the random generation, i do think that monoliths are better city spots do, might be some places just got filled, generally the biomes are not square and the space is filled out?

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

Re: Many Ice Holes

Well, there may be some other bug where seals turn into ice holes.

So it may not just be random generation causing this.

Re: Many Ice Holes

I seen in a game that a seal jumped in and the ice hole moved two tiles diagonally
