JRup Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi! I'd like to know if this is "a bug" or just "a feature" or I'm maybe holding the mouse wrong. Some time ago I'd come across a particular build where gas would be condensed inside an airflow tile. Said gas would teleport upwards infinitely until it found an empty tile directly above it. Idle, hands... Maxwell made me do it: If it has been reported as a bug, then I'd just forgo this type of build... just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see something similar to this happen with volcano setups when I try to make the volcano room too small. I would like to point out that just because someone reports something as a bug or it is unintuitive, that doesn't mean you can't use it. Though I believe this to be a bug that I will be avoiding, there are a lot of behaviors people consider to be bugs that are just how the mechanics of the game play out. I believe someone made a compact sour gas boiler that used this behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRup Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 @mathmanican Do you have a link for that? Further reading never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRup Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hm, interesting. No actual mention of bug report. Time for some idle hand fun. (That I could see atm... gonna go brew some coffee, toss some bacon into the air fryer, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghkbrew Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I don't really classify it as a bug, though I can understand why one might. It seems to just be the consequence of a few different mechanics interacting. 1) anytime a gas goes below it's condensation point it becomes a drop (not a bead) even if it is directly above a solid tile 2) a drip which is inside a solid tile will search upwards for the first non-solid tile to reappear. 3) airflow tiles are considered solid by a liquid. You can also trigger the behavior by closing an airlock when a drip is inside of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
