PhailRaptor Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So I became aware of a great tool by @f4rtux, a database with the transformation properties and processes of materials in the game. Clicking through it, I discovered something amazing. The Space Age material, Insulation, will melt into liquid Tungstun. This is kind of a huge deal, given that Tungstun is finite, based on the amount of Wolframite your map is generated with. The only problem is that Insulation has a Thermal Conductivity of a measly 0.00001, and you have to heat it beyond 3621.85 C to get it to melt. But if anyone can figure out how to do it, it's the amazing physics magicians who play ONI!

The thing about melting insulation, and previously abyssalite, has been mentioned before in various threads. I think someone said it takes thousands of cycles or something, not really practical. But the DB website.. how did I not know about this. This is amazing!

nets Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 In the current mechanic you can suck temperature out of abyssalite (at higher temperatures). Like drip water on hot (100+ celsius) abyssalite and you'll effectively suck termperature out of the material. Unless a phase change happens then really almost nothing gets tranferred. Phase change is effectively a method of causing a forced temperature change on material that really should'nt allow this. I realize many thought this might be a bug but i don't think it is. If you can suck temperature out of such a material then perhaps you could put temperature into it as well.

Sasza22 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Abyssalite melts into tungsten as well. No need to create insulation unless you want a tile in a certain spot. The problem is that there are no materials that won`t melt at that temperature. Insulation is good for managing such tmeperatures as it takes super long to heat up but if we were to melt it there`s o material that could handle the temperature for long enough. In other words the setup for melting insulation will melt before the insulation does.
