    if it does get made then awesome cause i need to use some cold fusion stuff for stuff

    Muons would have a temperature around 20 degrees celsius. They would not create any pressure at all, like PHOT and ELEC. Also, they would not conduct heat to any elements.

    Bumping this, as I think this suggestion is too good to let it fade.

    Muon catalyzed fusion has been proved problematic. Because of pions, and occasionaly the muon decays.

    Muon-catalyzed fusion is actually where I got this idea from. Muons do decay, so that is why I gave them half the lifespan of a neutron. Also, since in real life the muon sometimes sticks, I have added a small chance of the muon's life being shortened in the fusion reaction.

    Thank you for your positive comments.

    I am thinking of adding these things:

    [PROT] - like in our world, protons adds one to an atom's atomic number.
    - it's effect in powder toy adds one to its element number, e.g. dust -> water -> oil -> fire -> stone -> lava -> gunpowder -> nitroglycerin -> ...

     
     
    I think (even though this is a little off topic) that this is a great idea...
    maybe it could interact  with muons?
    (sorry, noob at nuclear).

    The problem with that is two-fold. First, since muons are negatively charged, when they interact with an atom, they can take the place of an electron temporarily before decaying. This is how muons can cause nuclear fusion in hydrogen. Second, there is a chance of protons not getting accepted.

    I really like this idea!

    YAYsus! i got protons for me...

    i'll make muons next(when i find out what they do...

     

     

     

    elements.property(elements.DEFAULT_PT_PHOT, "Name", "PROT")
    math.random(os.time())
    tpt.el.stne.description="Epic(pro)ton."
    function jdit(i,x,y,s,n)
    a=math.random(-1,1)
    b=math.random(-1,1)
    if tpt.get_property("type",x+a,y+b)~=0 and tpt.get_property("type",x+a,y+b)~=tpt.el.phot.id then
    tpt.set_property("type",tpt.get_property("type",x+a,y+b)+1,x+a,y+b)
    end
    end
    tpt.element_func(jdit,tpt.el.phot.id)
