Falcahtas Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Now that we can make tiles as out of Abyssalite is there any need for Insulated tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpintsman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I think the visual aspect has merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yes, normal tiles give + decor whereas insulated tiles don't if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckubis Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I use abyssal for vents and pipes in areas that I don't want temperature conversions to happen in and several layers on whatever happens to be close and abundant saving my granite for construction of living areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Nobody talks about it, but I think granite is quite precious given that it has very high thermal conductivity and there is limited quantities of it while it has many uses. There is no way that I know to make it from anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpintsman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wolframite is what you want when it comes to thermal conductivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 You can not make gas/liquid pipes out of them and you know I use these things a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other elements obviously but they aren't in normal gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterpintsman Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Why would one use something other than gas permeable tiles to fence in water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Probably because it is a hack and that it might eventually break from pressure when the developer get around to fixing the various hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
