Glass: Adding more does not increase heat

No matter how much new glass is added to a pile the heat does not increase the only way to get hot glass is to remove the glass there to another location the new glass then starts at 800 degrees but added glass to that pile has the same problem.

drop glass on old glass

Why would it. Solid stuff exchanges heat with the floor. If anything the temperature would stay the same but more likely just drop.

If you have a stack of glass at 150 °C, and add some more at 800°C, it should get an accurate value.

From then, the temperature of the stack will heat the surround, but, the temperature of the stack should have increase before that. ;)

 

On the other hand, @Grey Nycidian, the more the mass of the initial stack, the less it will heat when adding some more glass.

Does it occur even with the same quantity on the ground and added ?

This is happening to glass in a frozen biome on metal tiles surrounded by ice in storage. For example it will drop a new pile at 800 C and by the time a dupe gets around to getting a second amount of glass the 50 kg pile is down to something around 400 C so the total pile of 100 kg should be at around 600 C but what happens is the pile is at around 399.8 C.

Sure seems bugged to me.

Is there an implication that the resoulting temperature is now lowest of the two rather than average? 

 

Needs debug testing.

Nah, your water is cooling it so fast. Also each glass furnace cycle adds 25 kg, which by the time exits the pipe is near 1500C, then it fall trough 5C gas which also cools it. Temperature of the pile just briefly slows being cooled.
