Fusion with existing elements SUGGESTION

    First of all, I am new here so if somebody had this idea before, please don't flame me.
    I have seen other fusion suggestion topics before, but (I think) they were rejected because they needed new elements or would break TPT. So I have come up with an idea for fusion in TPT using only existing elements. The properties of the elements (again, I think) could be edited to make this work. Now for the actual suggestion on Fusion.
    ELEMENTS TO BE INVOLVED: HYGN, NBLE, PLSM, CO2, OXYG, NEUT, PHOT, and ELEC
    ELEMENTS THAT WOULD NEED PROPERTY EDITS: HYGN, NBLE, CO2

    FUSION PROCESS:
    1: When HYGN is at 50 pressure and heated to 2,000 degrees, It will transform into PLSM and will release 1 NEUT, 1 PHOT(colored yellow if possible, and generate either 1 or 2(random) particles of NBLE. It would also generate 50 pressure and raise the surrounding temerature to 4,000 degrees.

    2: When NBLE is at 100 pressure and heated to 5,000 degrees, it will transform into PLSM and will also release 1 NEUT, 1 PHOT(colored red if possible), and 1 particle of CO2. It will also generate 50 pressure and raise the surrounding temperature to 9,000 degrees.

    3: When CO2 is at 200 pressure and heated to 9,500 degrees, it will ignite in a large explosion, turning into PLSM and creating a shockwave of the maximum possible temperature and pressure in TPT. It will also release 1 NEUT, 1 ELEC, and 1 OXYG. Also, there is a 1% chance that 1 SING(3 life) will form.

    4: When OXYG is at 250 pressure, heated to 9,500 degrees, and under the influence of a NEWTONIAN GRAVITY WELL, it will transform into PLSM and generate 1 SING(50 life), 1 BRMT(powder standing in for iron), 1 NEUT, and 1 PHOT (colored white). It will also create a shockwave of the maximum possible pressure and temperature in TPT.
    THE END

    If one of the developers could please look at this and see if it is even POSSIBLE to make the necessary edits to the properties of the elements needed in the fusion process listed above, I would be grateful. If not, I am sorry for wasting the time of the devs with this thread.

    it's totally possible to do this, but it might break pre-existing saves, in other words, they might stop working.

    Welcome to the forums!

    First off, I wouldn't flame you even if you worded this to two lines, because I've always wanted fusion. I would also like to say that I've never heard it put that way before, and the way you've described it is very understandable and the idea itself is very useful.

    Good suggestion.

    @Jallibad
    What saves though? I don't know any saves that use these elements in the conditions described.

    Thank you, guys. I actually tried to keep the fusion process as close to the real thing found in stars as possible, and the optional 3rd step is actually supposed to simulate a dying star going supernova and forming a black hole. Also, I just had another idea which could help with the fusion process, which is that gravity creates pressure(for example, if you made a pile of dust, the dust at the bottom of the pile would be "pressurized" by the weight of the dust above it. More dust = more pressure on the base of the pile. That function could help with gravity-fusion reactors (fancy name for star lol).

    This might be actually really cool. I don't think people ever keep these elements at these pressures and temperatures, though making reactions like this work might take a bit of trial and error. You'd practically need a contained area for all of these though, since pressures decrease over time faster the higher they are.

    yeah, although, it would be possible if it was incased in wall, since it doesn't allow pressure. And bombs would also need bigger shells to support the higher pressures, but that isn't really a problem, it's the coding bit =/

    Well, i guess the pressures could be lowered to only 50 pressure, which would allow the reaction to sustain itself once it got started without needing a containment wall(as long as you had a good enough gravity source to keep the fusion ingredients together). I will update my first post with this new info.

    bump4u.

    I want fusions!

    This is (probably) my one and only bump for this topic, as I want this to not get buried, but I dont want to be banned for bumping too much.

    How about the "Fusion Toy" mod?

    THIS IS AWESOME!!
