    Now fire from wood and plant and other similar substances produces VERY COLD (for a flame) temperatures. The temperature of flames coming off of wood etc now is only about 26 deg C! It used to be about 420 degC!

    I don't know if this happens but you guys are saying its true so here's my idea:
    When you light it on fire, the plant or wood are only room temperature. So when you burn it, the plant isn't being deleted and a new element put it, it is changing into fire (like if you were to do !set type plnt fire, it just...poof?). When the plant changes it does not reset the temp, making the fire only room temperature.
    Hurray for guessing!

    That's because the realistic heat
    The FIRE, which is treated as normal particle in TPT, born at a temperature of 400C+, but after that, the surrounding absorb its heat, lowed its temperature very soon as they have a small heat capacity

    In real life this happen too, but combustion would generate a lot of heat, more than what surrounding substance can absorb.

    BTW, follow my steps, to get FIRE with 10K:
    0. Draw a hollow circle with PLNT
    1. Fill water in and drop some FRZZ
    2. Wait for freezing
    3. Burn it, then watch how cold those flame are!

    This trick works on release and beta.

    Actually, it was NOT like this until the recent beta. This new beta version has created a BUG! And it will DRASTICALLY EFFECT MANY PREVIOUS SAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY HOPE that this bug has NOT made it into the final version. I will be testing it now to be sure.

    .:update:.
    Ok, I just checked it, and it seems it works correctly now in the release version.
