it seems like this mod needs frozen world to work. could you make it a depencency?

The dependency circle is not possible and makes error on start.

The Big Winter has dependency to this mod, it means that Ice mod can't have dependency to the Big Winter mod.

You can add a dependency that doesn't modify load order with "~ dependency_name", as mentioned here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Mod_structure

I haven't tested it, but that should hopefully avoid a recursive dependency problem.

Thanks for your mods @darkfrei, I find them to be some of the more interesting ones on the mod portal.

@noderunner
can you please add this dependency?

Done, please test it when you get the chance.

Thanks! But I can't test it in the near future.

No problem, it works fine here.
