It's more my opinion than anything else. While I know we aren't aiming for true realism, I just find it strange that it acts like the way it does. I'm not saying to remove dead yeast, just make it not act like dan-balls virus when it comes to yeast.
@smjjames That's easy if thats the case. It is STRICTLY heat sensitive... so... It could be the fact you over heated it and the YEST is taking the heat from the DYST therefore killing it.
@pilojo Well thats if it was the heat alone, in fact, I tried an experiment:
1. Make some kind of container using walls. 2.place a whole bunch of yeast. 3. slowly heat kill it (don't set it on fire though). 4.erase some of it. 5.cool it off with some water 6. (optional step) remove the water. 7. place some yeast and watch it spread.
Alternatively do steps 1 to 3 and observe the spread. It doesn't change the temperature of the yeast itself as it spreads, even cold yeast dies on contact with that.
Edit: I'm not asking for a removal of dead yeast, just a change in the behavior. Could make yeast more useful since it's easy to overheat it and have the dead yeast destroy whatever you were trying to do.
...It isn't likely to be fixed. Unless you can think of some reason for why it breaks something. Yeast is supposed to be difficult to grow, if dead yeast didn't spread, you'd end up with growing splotches and dead splotches, which would be something of a mess.
