Aile Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Water should flow more quickly under the pressure of gravity. But currently water behaves more like liquid slime or jello pudding. Just my thoughts from playing the game and watching a few streams. Not to mention it makes flooding your base very slow and unconventional way of dying, (not that it should be encouraged.) But sometimes you need to end it in a dramatic way. Imagine a swift and coursing river of death drowning the poor duplicants.

zaig Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hahaha ...... yeah well Im with you dude !, water looks like slime, would be nice to be more fluid, but maybe it is meant to be like this (?) to look more cartoony (idk) but a little liquidy would be nice (as also to have the jelly aspect) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-870293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarzool Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I thought the water flow was very wonky starting off, then I noticed a few games being named "antfarm" so i thought maybe they were implying that my duplicates were just very small, like ants, so then the water flow kinda made sense, crappy but logical. Id like to see that change as well. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-870358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
allelsefailed Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well, seeing as how the game takes place on an asteroid, the gravity would be much weaker than Earth's. However, the water does move rather slowly. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-870384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayEmbers Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 From a purely cosmetic standpoint, I have the most issue with water trying to pass through narrow gaps. Sometimes it A) doesn't completely finish flowing, or goes quite slow, making it look slime-like as others have said, and B) it has weird surface tension and undulates between being almost nonexistent and touching the top of the narrow gap, completely covering it. The two attached pictures are the water snapping to the gap's top and back down. This is not actively flowing water, it's been sitting here for more than a day. It undulates between these two extreme states every .5 second or so. Even by the ladder, you can see the surface tension grabs onto the left rock face pretty aggressively. That part isn't waving much at all. So yeah, I wish it would finish flowing down that face a bit better, but at the very least, the waving should be gentle ripples rather than surface-tension monstrosities. Which I mean in the most endearing way possible. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-870509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaig Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 One thing that I hate on water is that it generate carbon dioxide, like what is that ? Opened a pocket of water, got the oxigen out and it constantly flows with carbon dioxide ....why ?

Aile Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Here's a picture to clearly show what I'm talking about. See how weak that flow is? It's not flowing through the entire gap it's just trickling on the bottom tile.

AncelinDouvetel Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It is also a concern to me, the water act a lot like a gel, like a very high viscosity liquid. I actually don't mind for contaminated water, that might be containing some nasty stuff increasing density/viscosity, but for water.... @zaig : don't know how much the game is comitting to sciency nerdiness, but depending on its temperature, water traps or release CO2 (won't go into details on how and why with Chemistry, for instance, that's why ocean warming up is increasing CO2 in atmosphere, increasing green house effect, increasing temperature of ocean, increansing... ). Haven't noticed it myself, but will check that out on next run Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-870877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXG Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think alot of issues with liquids could be fixed by making it not "stick" to surfaces above it. After that it would only be an issue with making it "flow" downward better according to gravity.

irOninfernO Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 shouldn't contaminated water combine with water turn all of the water into contaminated water? instead of having a small portion of the dirty water all the way on the bottom.

macksgameplay Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought it was behaving in kind of a small scale VS vacuums and air pressure? Granted, I wouldn't cry if it moved a little faster, but I think I would prefer more of a move towards "smoothing it out." Like the ability to make wedge shaped blocks, so ramps and funnels could be made.

I get huge amounts of CO2 from water pools ...I was thinking it appears because duplicates take water from time to tipe (to make food etc) but looks more CO 2 than normal, the surface is not to the bottom so I dont think CO2 falls down there Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-871084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scientifically talking, a cave water (that I presume was there for a huge amount of time in the game ) has no life within (or else it would have generated the CO2 long time ago) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/74540-water-physics/#findComment-871089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
