Metals cool down too quickly

    Well that's all. It's really annoying that metals cool down from ~1500°C to 22°C in about 2 seconds.

    This is a feature of PTCT and NTCT, avoid using those metals for construction, they are intended for electric circuits.

    Well but it's very hard too keep NTCT on >100°C when it cools down so quickly.
    Makes no sense to me

    It's best to use very small amounts (2 pixels at best). It's easiest to use a METL rod (1 pixel) at a distance of 1 pixel like in this diagram:

    This is a simple AND gate. the middle conductor is METL, once that has a current, it will heat the NTCT very quickly, despite its distance, allowing the right conductor to transfer electric current to the left.

    It only cools down quickly when you spark it with METL.
