ghkbrew Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I noticed this in debug. I painted in some 4000K niobium on top of the volcano because I didn't want to wait for an eruption. Imagine my surprise when the volcano itself promptly melted because it's made out of abyssalite and I had also set it's temperature to 4000K. Question: how long would that take to happen in survival?

Although a natural tile of abyssalite bleeds temperature to the surrounding environment, geysers don't (I mean.. I never see a geyser do that in survival..), neither does the dug out abyssalite change temperature (I think..). Also, in survival I think geysers (or at least volcanos seem to..) spawn in -174 C Niobium volcano (at least as far as I poked it in survival) doesn't seem to have any meltdown tendencies. On the contrary, if you leave it alone does a blob! and entombs itself again.

Yunru Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I don't think niobium volcanoes can output that high? AFAIK, they're fixed to output at 2726.85 °C. Although if you somehow heated it that high, maybe.

Look at the @sakura_sk's last picture. 2700C is "barely" (300C) above niobium's melting point. @sakura_sk, you may be right I'm not sure I've ever seen volcanos heat up. I just assumed since every other POI or building does they would too. I'll have to do some more testing next time I get to play.
