Simple question here, I'm sure everyone knows more or less how fusion works.

Even if you don't, you've probably noticed that the reaction's end result tends to produce SING more often than not, making it very difficult to contain.

Do you guys think this is a feature that could be removed, or is it cool? I'm wondering what you all think of this feature.

This pull request I just made fixes these problems, I would have made it a month ago but then I got really busy. Sing is only* produced after oxygen fusion now, which only happens with a Newtonian gravity source.

*May be produced rarely after CO₂ fusion, but maybe I could remove that too.

Its cool, but mabye it should turn into molten Iron before sing and only sing at max temperature and pressure.

Basically the issue is that SING is a deliberately game-breaking element. It's mostly fun for basically destroying everything, because it also destroys most utility elements, it can't easily be used for things like factories or machines.

i think that it should stay since a lot of people do like it. i guess.

I do not wish for SING to be removed from fusion. It adds a bit of realism and its pretty funny to see the chaos it unleashes sometimes, and that's why I decided to incorporate SING into fusion when I made the original suggestion anyway. After this update, SING should pose less of a threat in CO2 fusion, and would only ever be produced in large quantities in OXYG fusion. This is a simple(ish) list of fusion processes:

1: When HYGN is at 50 pressure and heated to 2,000 degrees, It will transform into PLSM and will release 1 NEUT, 1 PHOT(colored yellow if possible, and generate either 1 or 2(random) particles of NBLE. It would also generate 50 pressure and raise the surrounding temerature to 4,000 degrees.

2: When NBLE is at 100 pressure and heated to 5,000 degrees, it will transform into PLSM and will also release 1 NEUT, 1 PHOT(colored red if possible), and 1 particle of CO2. It will also generate 50 pressure and raise the surrounding temperature to 9,000 degrees.

3: When CO2 is at 200 pressure and heated to 9,500 degrees, it will ignite in a large explosion, turning into PLSM and creating a shockwave of the maximum possible temperature and pressure in TPT. It will also release 1 NEUT, 1 ELEC, and 1 OXYG. Also, there is a 1% chance that 1 SING(3 life) will form.

4: When OXYG is at 250 pressure, heated to 9,500 degrees, and under the influence of a NEWTONIAN GRAVITY WELL, it will transform into PLSM and generate 1 SING(50 life), 1 BRMT(powder standing in for iron), 1 NEUT, and 1 PHOT (colored white). It will also create a shockwave of the maximum possible pressure and temperature in TPT.

However, jacob1 and I are considering making it so that there is only a 5% chance that SING will be produced from OXYG fusion, and its life would be 25, not 50. Would you all agree to this, or should I reconsider these specs? Please reply with your opinions.

I would like to see the co2 to sing function is removed or that oxygen hasn't got this, but it is anoying cause now the use of fusion is limited and you can't create machines with them

BoredInSchool

@grandmaster: I built a successful fusion reactor, so machines can be built utilizing fusion(even more so now that TPT has titanium). And your grammar is confusing. are you saying that you want NO sing at ALL?

I believe the SING creation needs to be removed. It violates how fusion actualy works and is only useful if fusion was for bombs, however, fusion has applications in creating Power plants, and sing makes that impossible to make a breakable Fusion power plant.

DJspiderize

I agree with The-Fall, I would like to see the feature removed.
