Witness the life and death of a P.T. star with this little fusion chamber. Stars will slightly differ every replay. Last 2-4 min. This was so fun to make. Enjoy! Credit goes to Alfa(id:1683916) and Alexzander(id:1689167) for inpiration of chamber design.

    Alfa, I assure you that this chamber is not a copy of yours. I'll admit some of features were derived from your design, but I've made several small but very important changes. In fact, they're so critical that the reaction wont work in your chamber (I've tested). However, I thank you for your design inspiring me to build this one. :D

    anyone here ever use life gradient display?

    This is quite interesting!

    If anyone was wondering, the average lifespan of the star in this simulator can range from 1-3 min. (if you have a decent computer).

    When my save goes off the page, you'res goes on! Talk about "Life Cycles"! THATS IRONIC XD

    So, I changed the reaction methods a bit. The protostar now lasts quite a while now; so it can be decently observed. It was horrible callibrating the temperatures just right, and even then there's like a 1/10 chance it might break (from my tests). If it does, just restart. Anyway, hope everyone finds it more exciting. Enjoy!

    Alexzander, I am very familiar with the actual phases of a star's life cycle. However, to put them in this save and use it to describe the reaction in the chamber, I thought, would be incredibly inaccurate. I thought it would be better to improvise the phases and make them match Powder Toy's version of fusion physics. Also, I actually ran out of signs, so I sadly cannot put a read description sign :( But thank you very much for your comment and support.

    Nice job recreating my save! Although, you should be familiar with the *underlined text ahead* actuall, phases of a star's life, and put them in. Other then that, the save is good, and needs a "READ THE DESCRIPTION" sign within the save. Nice effort!
