DrRoguelike Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I was messing around in sandbox mode testing things with sweepy (it moves as fast on carpet as metal tiles!) and accidentally made some liquid uranium... Is it a thing that liquid uranium comes from oil and/or hydrogen? I have really hot liquid crude oil next to really cold hydrogen gas (in fact it had been liquid hydrogen until the oil was placed) and liquid uranium is spontaneously appearing! Based on the temp, it looks like it's just appearing from the oil. Maybe I need to test some more to see how else uranium can be generated.

silverbluep Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Did sweepy collect some uranium lying around? Maybe it warmed in dock storage and ejected because temperature? Its also 150kg and game bugs don't usually produce miniscule amounts when they do. I bet sweepy swept some uranuim ore, enriched uranium or depleted uranium.

I bet sweepy swept some uranuim ore, enriched uranium or depleted uranium. Definitely didn't sweep up any uranium... docks and sweepies are made from Cobalt, metal tile is Steel, carpet is Ceramic. There's a smidge of carbon dioxide and oxygen floating around, but not near where the uranium appeared. (I'm in sandbox mode on the starting swamp biome, haven't created any uranium so there's none on this map at all to the best of my knowledge) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/134037-uranium-from-oil-and-hydrogen/#findComment-1499513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Sounds like a bug where the wrong element is created in some interaction.

DrRoguelike Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Figured it out after reloading earlier testing... there had been a bit of uranium ore from a mechanical door that had been swept up by the sweepies when they were deconstructed earlier. So the moral of the story is always test from a truly fresh position or you might have accidentally made something out of something weird long before and forgotten >.> Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/134037-uranium-from-oil-and-hydrogen/#findComment-1499617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think scientists were generally smarter than this, but they are not. And people deciding about funding are even more stupid.
