A Twist on Soap

    But what about potential save breaks?

    I'm sure there are at least a few that rely on acid breaking salt down.... Then again that's pretty useless... XD

    This is exactly why we need soap to have a use(s), or else it just hogs space and is ignored.

    I strongly feel that this modification should be added, because of the lack of uses for soap, realism and the cool reaction it would make. It could even be made to act like a smoke bomb (but with water vapour) just like how baking soda (acts like a base) and vinegar (a weak acid) mix togather to form cool explosions.

     

    P.S. congrats on adding GOLD and TUNGSTEN !!!

    I Believe we need it aswell, Basic/Acidic reactions could open up quite a few more options for enterprising users

    I think the instanly disolving of the salt needs to be fixed first. Perhaps with the salt made having a special property  to prevent this. ( if there is a value like tmp or similar that acid depends upon change that in the salt )

     

    Also we need to consider soap life connected to salt.

    Does anyone know if this will appear in the next version of the TPT.

     

    @Oats (View Post)Interesting thoughts and info.

    Shouldn't CO2 be released? When you mix soap with acid (Let's just say ACID is vinegar and SOAP is baking soda) CO2 is released, along with Sodium Acetate.

    You are right that C02 would be formed (thats why the solution bubbles, kind of like coca-cola) but the two by products created by the reaction are salt and water. The reaction heats up the area and turns the water into steam so you are left with salt. I didn't want to include C02 in my post, because i thought that it would make things complicated.

     

    To clear this up i have changed my first post, by adding C02 and other by products created by this reaction.

    Should these other byproducts be included in the chemical reaction. Personnally i think that it will get confusing to code al of those by products, because most of them appear when you have too much of a base, too much of an acid, or just by luck.
