Realistic fire

    The three things a fire needs to keep on burning are fuel, heat, and oxygen. In powder toy, fire still burns in a vacuum. I know this will break a ton of saves. I am not trying to get this added, but just to get this into people's minds.

    I'm confused about the point of this then ...

    and how would burning work if you needed OXYG? It's not easy to have a constant supply of it.

    i think what he's saying is that in a vacuum, it will not burn. but at normal/slightly higher pressures it will.

    not that you need OXYG.

     I just meant that I was not trying to get this into the game, but just to raise concern.

    Maybe add a special mode for it? So in that mode fire only burns with oxigen.

    I understand him. He wants to say Like if you make a flame, You can keep it alive with fuel, Exygen and heat.

    But I guess that's already Inplemented [Unless the Heat].

    I remember when OXYG used to increase the life value of fire, making it hotter and changing the colour to yellow, this was more realistic, but it got removed for some reason. It now just burns like any other gas.
