i Idea : Unstable Void Mixture

5 months ago

If Void Flux is randomness, and Coherence Infusion remove randomness, then mixing the two could create an unstable liquid that can be used to make power which could be contained inside of orichalcum power cells..

Or it could just be used as a lore explaination for why a void thruster uses Coherence Infusion and Void Flux instead of oxidizer and thruster fuel.

TL;DR Void Flux and Coherence Infusion could act like Matter & Antimatter, and combine the two to make power.

I've kind of avoided (a-void-ed.. ha...) any sort of void power generation mechanics because I couldn't see a very good way to make it work in the game. If it is too simple, it too easily defeats one of the only actual costs of voidcraft (that is, taking lots of power!) and if it is not very simple, then nobody will use it anyway because you can just make void fuel and throw it in a boiler or heating tower.

Yeah that's fair, which is why I also proposed the thruster alternative.

Now that I think about it, since you can make thruster fuel from void fuel, it would kind of have the same problem!

True, but it would require more infrastructure than void fuel to rocket fuel, and being another type of thruster allows you to mess with variables such as the consumption rate, efficiency, and thrust output.

Edit : Also, on my voidblock game, while I did use summoned void fuel into boilers, it is very much not a good power source compared to summoning light oil and turning it into rocket fuel, or using voidium to make nuclear power. Had to use 6 voidwork to summon enough voidfuel for ~8 boilers.
