SLTW doesn't evaporate at 100C

    As stated in the title, SLTW doesn't evaporate at 100 degrees Celsius. As far as I know, there are no properties of salt water that make it evaporate at a higher temperature. When I put coal under it, the SLTW doesn't evaporate until after 200C.

     when water mixes with salt, it raises the boiling and lowers the melting point of the mixture, which is why we put salt on the road when it snows.

    Heh heh, forgot that it also raises boiling. Sorry about that!

    And the fact that enthalpy now makes so that 100°C alone won't evaporate every SLTW particle.
    For other people: Just a hint: use ° to create a degree ° sign!

    Greater than 200°C actually sounds too exaggerated.

    I've just checked git history, and it dates back to September 2010 when all the temperatures in the source code were converted from Celsius to Kelvin. It was 110°C and someone turned it into 483K...

    Edit: fixed, now 383K

    How has that not been noticed before...

    I assume it's a typo of 383K,

    I thought that this was just intended :S, ran into it the other day in college when trying to show the IT managers how unsecure their remote desktop server was xD

    Salt water doesnt raise boiling temperatur, it decreases it. We made a test in chemistry class recently. It depends how much salt do you add, small amount will not decrease it significantly. And it will not raise boiling point.

     

    EDIT:

    but wont it break saves if you change temp?
