Non burning fire particles

    Since the discovery of the purple acid that does not corrode i started paying more attention to particles and made another discovery EDIT: it seems it was discovered already some time ago, howver i never saw mention to it.

    I found a way to make fire particles that have some odd properties:

    -they do not burn themselves like regular fire and do not decay
    -they are pretty stable
    -they turn into normal fire when touching any other particle (so far) except SHIELD, PIPE and PORTAL (not fully tested yet) - works better with solids.
    -they act like a gas
    -they are affected by reverse gravity (they go up at a regular rate without any pressure)
    -they turn to smoke when cooled
    -They turn into plasme when in contact with GOL particles


    And i made a contraption, however crude, that can make a fairly large number of those particles in an automated process, however it is a bit slow:

    LoadSaveBlock(103376);

    Feel free to modify it so it works better.

    In fact, i INVITE all the pwoder toy masters and enginner to try to optimize this process, as done with the strange acid particles.

    This is pretty cool but have you tested them for other properties?

    It is, but what's wrong with a bit of random testing it's something new if you're getting bored of the powder toy not having been updated in a while.

    Indeed :p


    @PizzaPlatypus

    True, true, there is always something new to be found in powder toy.

    @DAVPPK

    What do you mean ?

    i think it's fun, a bit of testing
    i hope there will be more particles like these will be discovered

    Like normal fire, it turns to smoke when cooled.
    Also, doesn't turn to normal fire if you add fire, or plasma
