Compression = BHOL is getting annoying!

    IT ALSO BREAKS MAH FUSION!!!! FOR THIS, I DECLARE WAR ON THIS "FIX!!!!"

     

    -sorry for caps, but it screws up fusion. To me(for obvious reasons I am a bit overprotective of fusion) that is unforgivable. I only discovered this when I tried to edit my fusion reactor. Also, in the universe things can be compressed without forming black holes(compressed air containers are an example), so why not at least fix the fix by making it so that BHOL only forms when 3 particles are in the same space, not two.

    At the moment, it forms when there are 6 or more particles in the same place.


    Nearly every fusion step causes more stacking of particles. Do you have any ideas on how to change fusion to prevent this? Or do I need to find a way of excluding fusion products from the check?

    In most cases, the fusing particle turns into PLSM and then creates an additional non-energy particle (CO2/SING/NBLE/O2) in the same place. One possible idea I had was to choose randomly between turning into PLSM and turning into the fusion product. The advantage of this would be that fusion reduces the number of particles, as implied by the name. Or perhaps the fusing particle could create PLSM in any empty space around it.

    What do you think?


    (Unfortunately, just making stacked particles try to move apart, as compressed gases would in real life, isn't practical at the moment. There could perhaps be better handling of stacked particles later, particularly if stress simulation ever gets done, but not just yet)

    Thank you, added to the list.

     Lets take this to a private message thing so we can brainstorm options on how to fix it. I actually just thought of a solution that might work.

     how about you just raise the limit from 6 to a higher more sutible number?

    Ah ha! so I could put 5 super compressed particles together... (rubs hands together)

    with this, I shall rule the world!...(cue crazy laughter)
