I don't get this thermal transfer scenario


Recommended Posts

Everything is as expected like this:

Tiles are ceramic, left/right tiles appear unaffected, bottom tile changes maybe 1/10th of a degree per cycle, if that much.

However:

If a chunk of solid steel was to accidentally land in that puddle, the thermal transfer increases several hundredfold. The temperature of the liquid steel decreases about .2 degrees per second, and the ceramic tile's temp goes up accordingly.

I thought I knew the basics, but this doesn't fit anything...

Ignore the tempshift stuff below, they don't affect the behavior. (I tried removing them just in case, but of course no change.)

By the way, it's not just steel debris, but anything. First (as you'd think) the debris' temp equalizes with the steel puddle, and then you can just watch in amazement how the insulated ceramic sucks heat out of both.

 

 

I had the same thing happen in my iron volcano set-up, my steel door melted and the subsequent piece of steel debris then melted the insulated ceramic tile. I noticed before it melted the second layer of insulated igneous rock. 

 

I ended up fixing it by replacing the melted tile with insulated obsidian and then replacing the second layer with insulated ceramic.

Don't forget that mesh and airflow tiles act like debris, and the same kinds of things can happen with them. Place a mesh/airflow tile above an insulated tile and watch the fun happen. 

This includes farm tiles.  I tried growing mealwood in farm tiles placed on top of 40C igneous insulated tiles, and all my mealwood plants got cooked.

And none of the bug report or the quoted topic get any answer

That's pretty common.  There are several bugs that have much more than a year of history, on which we have no feedback. I just remind myself often that this forum is not a 2-way communication (that's their intent). This quote is taken from JoeW:

"The way we look at bug reports is that they are there so that we may we sift through them and fix them as appropriate based on priority and what were working on. If they are there, you know we know about them. But it's not meant to be a channel of communication."

I don't expect them to comment.  But I have noticed that they pay attention. They do read stuff here. They just have so much to work on that some things fall way down on the priority list. And the backlog of unacknowledged bugs is soooo large that it would be pointless now to even try to make a dent.... 

imo It would be nice to have at least 1 of the devs play their own game and post about it in the forums. There is quite a difference in mindset between player and creator that the game could benefit from if they were combined. How often do they play oni anyways

Yup I know, was already regular on the forum when it has been posted. But I was believing...

This bug once again came back to me, while I was setting up a volcano heat system.. In other words I was hoping things to go better ^^ It brings mess.
