akrabat14 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 My rocket with petroleum engine destroys logic wires every time it flies through them. Could you please increase melting temperature of logic wires or remove it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroturtle Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Different materials have different melting points. You may want to check and see if you can make them from a material with a higher melting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruhrohraggy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Steel seems to work alright. I have yet to use a rocket in a space vacuum, so this has never been an issue for me...But I imagine since the temps of the petroleum rocket exceed the melting point of steel, eventually they'll just melt. You'll have to cool them somehow perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroturtle Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Just now, LeftyRighty said: that information isn't always easily accessible... is there a list of materials with those two values somewhere? I'm not sure if the wiki has that information, or if it's even up to date. When I'm trying to find the highest melting temperature for a given item, I just construct one out of each material and look at the values in game.

ruhrohraggy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's easy to miss, or maybe you already know about it? But at the top right there's a little book icon. If you click on it, you get an appendix of various items in the game. You can browse through it in a sorted / tabled format, or you can use the search feature. It's like an in-game ONI wiki almost! If I check Tungsten it says : Tungsten (Solid) : Tungsten (Liquid) (6191.3 F) (W) Tungsten is an extremely tough crystalline Metal. It is suitable for building Power systems. Resource Type : Refined Metal Melting point : 6191.3 F Hardness : 200 (Nearly Impen...who cares) Specific Heat Capacity: 0.074 (DTU/g)F Thermal Conductivity: 33.3333 (DTU/(m*s))/F Properties : Plumbable, Generic buildable, Solid, Refined Metal Overheat Temperature: +5000% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I have water under the rocket. The steam created on launch cools things down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruhrohraggy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I believe in real life, tungsten is much harder than titanium even. Something like 8 or 9 on the mohs scale. Pretty neat material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tungsten carbide is also used for making surgical instruments meant for open surgery (scissors, forceps, hemostats, blade-handles, etc.) and laparoscopic surgery (graspers, scissors/cutter, needle holder, cautery, etc.)." - Wikipedia But I was mainly referencing machining tools, they sure are purdy.

chemie Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 careful. tungsten is not renewable since wolframite is limited. some maps have very little to spare so careful how much you use you build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilalaunekuh Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It´s a bit counterintuitive, that you can´t use thermium for high temperature automation ... (Tungsten > Thermium > Niobium > Steel ; On the left side is the highest melting temperature) Tungsten is the only material able to survive infinite rocket launches without an atmosphere (Rocket heat is capped at 3200K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I just use steel for everything on the surface. (Bunkers, doors, automation, sweepers...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bunkers, doors, automation, sweepers...) ditto except miners on glass which seem to heat way more than sweepers on tiles. I think I will switch to ceiling mounted as 2 blocked tiles does not hurt solar output too much. but steel works 95% of the time for power and automation. bugs vs melting has been my assumption when they do vanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I always assumed it`s common knowledge that tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point. Similarly the devs might have thought. I guess there is need for a tooltip mentioning tungsten has an "extremely high melting point". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into database for data, that is important when building, is a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
