Destroyable electrodes

    Could we change the electrodes to meltable? If you don't cool them heavily, they burn down.
    Judging the amount of plasma and heat emanating from the electrodes, this would be quite plausible.

    O.O judging by the amount of heat coming from the electrodes, I would say it's impossible to cool efficiently.

    Could have a really high melting point. Tungsten for example has a melting point of 3422°C

    Actually, I didn't know about this thread when I made it. Just found some dirty hack that allows to melt them.
    And yes, I totally agree with the idea to make them meltable by normal means.

    Tungsten makes a lot of sense and is viable in the game. I like this idea.

    please explain the hack. (did you alter the source code?)

    No, he used voodoo.

    Put some ETRD, turn off heat simulation, add 1px of LAVA, wait for ETRD to melt, collect formed LAVA, HEAT it to at least 1500 C, turn on heat simulation.
    Yes, backward compatibility is evil.
