Steps to Reproduce
just load my save and see my void doesn't make anything



User Feedback


I don't see a void? Voids are black circles and they don't make anything, they suck things in.

The Void is an element, much like the Vacuum element.

The vacuum element gets replaced by the element attempting to merge with it.
The void destroys every element attempting to merge with it.

Therefore it is impossible for anything to flow "over" a void tile.

Happened to me once :P, so not exactly impossible. But yeah was back in TU

Happen to know what did this? Because TU never allowed 2 elements to occupy the same tile.

Nope, all I saw was a wall of liquid falling from directly above the void and the very next frame where it would touch the void it disappears.

Ahh if it was falling water in drop form then it's actually an entity until it collides with a floor
where it shoves the occupant element out of the way or merges with it.

Sorry to necro, but I noticed this whilst searching for another thread 

Voids can easily be destroyed with falling debris - shown this on stream, and in debug mode.

Was much more common when the dupe-drop bug was more prominent, but essentially having debris drop through the tile the void occupies can break them. Not sure if it's related to the ever-impressive "floating debris" bug, or just the passing elements - but i've witnessed it a few times now. I had one destroyed that was in a closed room during my accept every dupe challenge, and it was because of a falling thimblereed seed...

Hmm. That's interesting. Dropping slime into a room of void also destroys the void tiles behind the slime balls.
Seems that the displacement can't be performed when adding elements directly into the void tile.
If it correctly displaced the polluted oxygen,  the void would eat it instead.

They're very odd indeed, however as they were mentioned to be a "unintended left-in bug" in one of the live streams - i'd sort of just given up on them ever being wholly introduced/fixed.
