Is infinite water with the Cryoblaster a bug or a mechanic?

The documented loop makes unlimited snow with a Cryoblaster, then converts it through water, steam and rain.

Quick answer

It is a documented renewable loop, not something this page labels a duplication bug: the Cryoblaster can produce unlimited Snow, and the water documentation describes converting that Snow into Water and through Steam into rain. Exact layouts and output rates are not documented.

Steps

  1. Unlock and use the Cryoblaster to produce Snow.
  2. Convert Snow into Water or heat it into Steam as the documented loop requires.
  3. Let Steam condense into rain and collect the Water.
  4. Buffer loose droplets before judging the loop because surface water can be absorbed or evaporate.

Requirements / limits

  • The sources establish renewable inputs and conversions, not a fixed blueprint or rate.
  • One rain burst does not prove that every apparently duplicated lake is the same mechanic.
  • Update #2 does not change Snow, Water, Steam or rain.

Common mistakes

  • Calling the documented loop a bug without separating it from a buffering issue.
  • Copying an unsourced layout and treating its output as universal.
  • Ignoring evaporation or surface buffering when comparing input and output.

Still unverified

  • What is the stable output rate for a specific layout?Not verifiedThe checked documentation publishes no rate or tile blueprint.
