    Proton fissile with deuterium is crazy destructive. Even say 20-30 pixels of compressed deut (life 10000) can wipe out half of a save. Much more and it turns a whole save into a pool of lava. Also makes negative pressure.

    it's actually directly copied from the reaction with NEUT ... just it makes negative pressure instead (Exact same amount). Maybe negative pressure is just more destructive or something.

    Negative pressure isn't why its strong its the fact that protons go through mostly everything

    ...Yeah. Negative pressure doesn't even affect most elements, it'd have to be the pressure backlash that destroys things. What causes all of the destruction ultimately is the fact that you end up with a wall of max-temperature material-passing energy particles giving their temperature away at a very significant gradient, the negative pressure only sucks all the resulting lava in.

     Couldnt have said it better 

    shouldn't  prot behave exactly like neut in the explosion cause from what I see is  neut has  a temperature dependant on deut life with prot it is less  dependant

    This element for luck is already in the beta.

    What if all the protons produced from deut explosions were supercooled? It would be a bit like a healing explosive. Also, a way to make proton lasers would be cool, something that turns neutrons or photons into protons would do that.

    I made a proton bomb mixed with GBMB, and this produces a lot of SING. You call that rare? Actually, it is rare in terms of PROT:SING ratio.

    Hydrogren turns photons into protons. The downside is this ignites the hydrogen, probably from some reaction with compressed protons, but even then, it ignites hydrogen if there isn't any way they are being compressed, so I'd have to say the heat from the photons maybe. I'll have to do further experimentation, but either way, the protons don't travel with the photons, rather randomly like they do upon spawn.

    I did fix the bug where PROT created like that followed a random path, and not the path the PHOT was taking. This allows for mostly solid laser beams. I haven't tried fixing protons being created in fusion anymore, but I want them to be completely out of the reaction.

    I also did a few other changes to VIRS + PROT today, i'll describe those later when I finish doing things.
