What's EQVE?

    What does it do? It's not on the menu. It's only mentioned in one of the threads I read here. I turned some METL to EQVE (using the console) just to see what it did. It looks and behaves like SAND. Please explain what it does different from SAND. Only thing different seems to be it won't melt even when heated by 9000Deg PLSM.

    Cracker made it to test moving solids.
    EQVE: EQual VElocity, you see?

    There is no code for it, so now it's basically hidden dust.

    What do you mean mean by no code? Doesn't it still have the code that Cracker tested with it? Also if it had no code, then how does it even display? It needs code to give it color and to describe how it should fall in relation to gravity (as opposed to ignoring gravity, and being invisible, which is what would happen if it had no code).

    From what I've seen it basically behaves like powdered dimond. It conducts heat, but it doesn't melt and doesn't burn, and doesn't conduct electricity).

    It hasn't equal velocity code anymore, but me4502 has reconstructed it.

    It has properties, burnage, weight, the like, but it has no defining code. I.E, nothing tells it what to do. There is no c file for it.

    so, essentially, its non-flammable dust

    It was initially a test for moving solids (Equal Velocity), but it was never completed ( i think...), the element was just left in the code for some reason

    So... It's basically just a plain element, with absolutely NO properties?

    Yeah it's like powdered DMND. It can't burn or melt or in any way interact with other elements in any way except behaving like SAND (but even sand can melt). Also it has a certain density so some things will displace it, while other things will sit on top of it. It should just be renamed DMDP (DiaMonD Powder) and added to the powders menu.

    Check out my fission reactor that uses it.
