But in Pokemon, Water and Ice are different types. A Water Pokemon, for example is resistant to Fire, while an Ice Pokemon is vulnerable to it.
There are also Pokemon who are both Water and Ice, like Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. Is that okay?

 Oh you're serious. What we refer to as water is surface or underground bodies of H 2O solution, which is often potable with some basic distillation and purification. Ice refers to frozen bodies of a solution that contains water along with other substances such as ammonia, methane, nitrogen, etc... In addition to that, you can have planets that have ice but no water bodies due to having exceedingly low temperatures. --- *facepalm* People pretending to be software engineers are now pretending to be planetary scientists. What a stupid thing to criticize lmao |

If a planet has both water and ice, it is at a life sustainable situation (i.e. around the -10 - 20°C point). Long-range sensors can pick up either ice or water because of spectral (i.e. light) differences due to their different molecular structure (yes, they're both H2O, but their arrangement as a molecular structure is very different).
If a planet only has water it can range from 0 - 100, the latter range of those temperatures making it difficult for life to be sustained as, well, it'd boil away.
If it only has ice then only popsickle-based organisms can exist...
Think, before making a topic. Do research. validate your point. Don't simply go to criticism. It's too easy and you only end up looking the fool yourself.

They also might need Dihydrogen Monoxide as well.

They also might need Dihydrogen Monoxide as well. I've heard that is really bad for the environment. It's a major component of pesticides and gets into our lakes and streams. In its gaseous state it can cause severe burns. Best to stick with water. And ice. Maybe a little steam power, if we get desperate. Dang that means we'll have to collect steam too. |

Dry ice is made of carbon dioxide. They may be referring to a different type of ice than water ice.

If the 'lead scientist' needs some other compound than water in frozen form, she should say so. It may make sense in game, We'll know on the 21st, or perhaps 16th if codices cover this. |

There are different forms of ice like dry ice has a slightly different chemical composition to 'water'. Generally speaking it seems that 'ice' refers to any traditional liquid at room temperature is then solidified at lower temperatures. That's what I assumed it meant as well. |

It's too easy and you only end up looking the fool yourself. I think the criticism is valid. The video was not referring to ice and water as being part of habitable planets, but as resources for the Nexus. "The Nexus requires vast amount of Helium 3, Ice, Water, and Element Zero to continue functioning." This has nothing to do with determining if a planet is habitable. It is about what are necessary resources for the Nexus. In this, the OP's case is valid. If you have ice you can make water. And vice versa, though each requires energy for the change of state. They could be referring to a different compound as ice (i.e. dry ice) but when someone says "ice" it is assumed they mean frozen water. Don't criticize the OP before first understanding the context of the question. |

I'm thinking they mean "Ice" as a nickname for Serrice Ice Brandy. Like calling Budweiser "Bud". They were just in cryo for 600 years and now need to set up a whole new civilization! They deserve a drink or two.

It is a really big oversight if it's one. Might be a sign of things to come... To come? It was always there, in the trilogy. If the writing has improved, then I'll be surprised.  |

Anwar says helium, water, ice, and element zero. As far as I know, water and ice are made from the same element. Is this an oversight or am I missing something? Hmm.
As they didn't specify the assumption is they mean water ice. This being the case, it's possible that ice in the form of a comet or belt would be preferable for construction in space. And the liquid form for planetary needs being the found and used on the surface. So the two resources are given a distinction. This is as an occasional EVE Online player, a game in which ice mining is the thing for said reasons.
