When you go to Aquilo for the first time, you cannot force print until you have placed at least one ice platform and concrete on every tile type. The game always uses whatever was used previously, but on first arrival there is no “previous,” so stamping just fails. This is very confusing for first-time players and also for speedrunners.

This behavior could be improved by making the default on first arrival not “empty and fail,” but instead concrete + ice platforms. After that, it could still change dynamically based on the last usage as it does now.
