Elements for a a cooling system

    I am trying to power HSWC, but it keeps melting my PSCN and NSCN. I have tried CFLM, LN2, and a few Game of Life elements as a cooling system for the metals. However, nothing seems to be working. Is there an element that cools extremley rapidly? Or a command to set materials to never melt? Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks, and have a powdertastic day

    I'd probably copy active and inactive HSWC into place (or maybe even just HEAC or INSL) with DRAY.

     That sounds like a good idea, but that would mean remaking a lof of my save. Im trying to fins something fairly small that can cool the PSCN and NSCN itself.

    Try my serialization based thermostat save, probably that's what you're looking for. Also to learn more about that try my serialization tutorial.
    Leaving the ids here.

    Instead of all these overcomplicated solutions, why not just move the PSCN and NSCN one pixel away? Powered elements get activated at a range of two pixels away, but heat only conducts one pixel away. So by just moving the PSCN / NSCN slightly out of range of heat conduction, they don't melt.

    And that's how people did it before these fancy features like DRAY and serialization were added >_>

    I though of that but couldn't test it en route.

    Try to use CFLM,LN2,NICE,SNOW,ICE,ISZS or DRIC. Cold elements definitely will help.

    maybe low RFRG/L cycling through cooling system?
