unrealistic nuclear elements

    The nuclear elements in this game (I mean DEUT PLUT URAN POLO) all have some issues. I will focus on how they work in bombs as that is my best area.

     

    1. The pressure wave spreads at the same speed as the heat in a nuke, when the heat should be extremely fast with pressure behind it as it does in an actual nuclear explosion.

    2. URAN. I don't know if the TPT uranium is 238 or 235 but due to how it works I can assume that it is a semi enriched mix. This needs to be explained though as currently it is rather confusing. A good idea could be to have 238 and 235 for different uses in game, with different ratios being more hot and explosive or not.

    3. DEUT. It dosen't do the standard HYGN fusion type explosion when it is a hydrogen isotope, I think it would be more realistic and cool if it had the NBLE and PHOT etc as well as all the neutrons to show that it is fusion and also to make it more interesting to use.

    4. POLO melts too fast. The decay heat is good, but it starting at 115 celcius just makes it melt annoyingly fast, and is a simple change.

     

    These all feel really petty and minor, I just wanted to write some of my really minor issues with some of the elements here to see any other people's opinions. Thanks, peacefrog/TimeSan

     changing this would break a LOT of saves, not gonna happen

    1. In TPT pressure spreads in 4x4 and heat in 1x1 (not amb. heat), making it spread at same speed as heat will make TPT require lots more better computers just to run it normally. edit: Also, breaks saves

    2. Why would TPT need 2 different uran types especially with fact that game is mostly played by kids not even knowing there is different kinds of uran.

    3. Breaks saves (most DEUT reactors will just not work)

    4. Really lol why does it start at 115C and not somewhere in 20-30C
