i [DONE] (SE) Remove molten tungsten

1 year, 8 months ago

Pyroflux can’t melt iridium due to the latter’s high melting point, and tungsten’s is even higher, so…

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I was trying to be scientifically accurate, but i'll just lower the melting point of Tungsten.

I am actually able to use pyroflux to create molten tungsten.

Are you referring to scientific accuracy in the mod? Indeed, I think tungsten is usually sintered rather than cast. I could probably address that at some point, perhaps through an option. But for the moment just getting it compatible with SE 0.6 :)

In the future (as an option) I could probably make it go through a powder stage instead of molten or something like that. I'll think on it a bit, and try to actually playtest SE 0.6 to see how it would feel.

Version 0.7.0 now has an option to use powder instead of molten tungsten.
