Help with pressure containment.
-
Say, in my various escapades I've found that pressure containment was incredible useful, but difficult (especially for high temperatures). Titanium melts, so can I make a different solid totally opaque to pressure (e.g. diamond or HEAC) using the console?
-
As far as I know, the two things that register as obstacles in the pressure map are walls (ew) and TTAN. There's not much else that can be done about pressure (but correct me, I'm not entirely sure).
TTAN is pretty good except it's meltable. If you don't find it too hackish, you could use a heat insulator element (for example INSL) to protect TTAN from high temperatures.

This is exactly what I do, but it ends up making a bulky and complex container, and half the time the INSL catches fire. And walls are ew too. Can the console help in any way? Perhaps raising the melting point of the titanium. I don't want to make it not conduct heat because I am going to use it in reactors which require heat transfer.

I'm not sure how to raise the transition temperature with the console, even though I looked at the code; it seems I'm too tired for this right now.
Anyway, anything you could possibly do with the console would be temporary. These are element properties we're talking about, not particle properties. Element properties aren't saved in the simulations, only particle properties. Instead they come directly from the source code, but you can change them temporarily.
So if you could do it with the console, you'd have to have the user do it every time they open your save.
There are other insulators out there though.

I want to get rid of the need for shielding altogether though, any way I can do this? I wonder if this could help, https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Element_Properties.html
The properties at the bottom may be useful, could this work?

F***ing hell, how hard is it to recompile the game anyway, or could perhaps a mod do this.
-
Mods are just recompiled versions of the game, so yeah :P Even if you had a mod though, others who used vanilla TPT wouldn't be able to open the saves you made in it. Believe us, it's better to just use the elements you already have.

I'm not too terribly concerned about people being able to open my saves, and what's to say I couldn't have 2 installs of TPT, this way I could experiment and have fun.
