My smelter. On the right is just a furnace.
Not OP.
I just started using it when /g/ mentioned it.

>>1302654

Thank you kind sir

>>1302651

Smooth. What's the white powder being fed in along with the busted metal?

>>1302666
Salt. I ran out of ideas. So i just added that.

My molten fuel pressure reactor. Been posted a few times.

Can this thing create a mushroom cloud?

>>1302684
Is that the hardest metal known to man I see?
Would post a creation of mine but xvidcap fails and won't let me .gif the video.

>>1302696

Yeah, dust often helps.

A diamond bomb casing is pretty interesting.

has anybody downloaded the beta? the uranium makes reactors a lot easier to build.

>Build diamond wall atomic bomb
>Switch to velocity mode

>>1302725
Yeah but I think steam was the greatest thing ever
Pic is my on/off switch.
I can't think of a smaller one.

>>1302779

feels bad man.

Has anyone made a timer?

>>1302803
This

>>1302786
yeah without steam and heat transfer a proper reactor was impossible. Had a bit of trouble miniaturising the reactor though, kept refusing to ignite.

My foundry

>>1302803
Powder toy is an incredibly poor simulation, it's almost nothing like real life.

It's still good that you're aware of how blindingly ignorant you are though, so few people realise just how much they don't know.

>>1302857

Yeah, the tiniest lick of flame will turn an entire mountain of stone into lava.

Has anyone destroyed the diamond?
I have :D

>>1302913
prove it

>>1302890
Lava is really shitty at the moment.
Cool lava can still melt shit. Melted shit becomes hot lava, regardless of what melted it...

>>1302857
The person doing this is doing it for fun.
So you can't really expect everything to be super perfect.

>>1303055
That's not going to stop me from wishing for something better.

But I DO really appreciate the work being put in by whoever stole the project, the updating feature for it is great.

hao does i make generator?

I built a plutonium blowtorch. Feels good, man.

>>1303217
many different ways

>>1303296
suggestions?
I'm kinda new and not sure how the mechanics work. Like I thought plutonium in metal shells surrounded by water = steam lol

>>1303319
I think my favorite generator is the one that has plutonium to pressurize uranium which heats water and steam goes into detector.

>>1303319 you know the copper coloured wall? any particle that passes through it generates electricity. These mini reactors I made boil water into steam which passes through the detector which creates usable electricity.

>>1302823

Fireworks are fun

What can I do with photons?

>>1303364
they set off detectors and they can set things like plant and wood on fire.

Needs more Mochi.

>>1303344
Are you guys using the beta? How do you get water to boil? Lighting a fire under water in a metal container won't do anything to it

>>1303370
Neat I'm using them as ammo for my guns.

>>1303377
The fire has to touch the water, because there's no temperature simulation, try making the metal 1 pixel thick.

1. Diamond walls, fill loop with plutonium, heeting chamber with lava
2. High pressure starts creating neutrons
3. Shit catches fire due to pressure
3.5. ????
4. Profit.

Any kind of other thread: fights, faggotry, namecalling and trolls

Powdertoy threads: civil talk, polite requests for advice, polite advice at depth, admiring what others have wrought

I love you guys.

>>1302811
Nvm, I figured it out its actually quite simple.

>>1303507
Powder toy timer now with even more loops.

>>1303507
Where do i find your version?

>>1303541
http://powder.hardwired.org.uk/Download/

>>1303561

Grab the latest beta for extra win.

>>1303561
Thanks

>>1302786
/r/ing more switches

>>1302651
WAIT

THAT HAS MORE MATERIALS!!!

>>1302890
Actually I just tested that and no it doesn't.
Newest beta version.

The 33.2 version ain't opening for me guys.

>>1302913
Pressure can't break diamond.

Is it possible to create fusion/thermonuclear bomb?

mfw new version of powder toy still doesn't have a scalable window

>>1303749
I wondered this too.

Is it possible to create a proper cooler yet? And by proper I mean something that is able to maintain at least -50°C. Ice obviously only goes down to 0°C.

>>1303756
It never will.

>>1303775
No, never, because there is no temperature simulation, what you're suggesting simply isn't possible.

All I ever do in this thing is make bombs

>>1303756
>>1303785

just put "scale:[whatever]" at the end of the shortcut location

>>1303787
>there is no temperature simulation
Yes there is. Update your shit.

>>1303805
No, there isn't.

When a fire particle hits a water particle, the fire particle and the water particle vanish and are replaced by a steam particle.

If there was temperature, a one pixel wide metal line would not stop water from freezing if the other side was covered in ice.

>>1303816

I think you may need to update

>>1303816
>Update your shit.

>>1303794

Yeah, I try to make elaborate furnaces and generators, but it all amounts to routing a particle through a detector wall, so I always end up making plutonium bombs and watching the pressure waves.

>>1303830
> umad.jpg

No need to be an enourmous faggot about it.

If you make that metal wall 2 pixels wide, it doesn't happen. The metal isn't conducting heat in any fashon, the particles are just able to interact over a one pixel gap made by the metal.

There are a number of other experiments you can do to prove this, the game really doesn't simulate any form of temperature.

>>1303845

I dunno, a diamond casing plutonium bomb creates a hell of a pressure wave, even though the wall is thick and is never broken.

The readme talks about settings, how do I edit these?

>>1303800

well done cpt obvious.

>>1303836
I hadn't bothered getting the beta version, nice to see he's getting more simulation detail in there.

>>1303845

y no temp simulation whatsoever.

>>1303864
I concede defeat, since I had not been using the beta version.

Why did no one tell me it was doing temperature simulation now before?

>>1303845
yes it fucking does, the beta has heat transfer through materials.

He should give us carbon so we can make diamond.
Just for the hell of it.

>>1303868
I've accepted that you're right in the beta version, you've won now, calm down.

Jezus.

I can't get the freaking beta to work
>rage.jpg

Top right cell is lava that I've added heat to until it was white hot, everything else started as ice. I cooled the top left cell for fun.

I loud up the newer versions and it like insta crashes, window opens then error report.

Any ideas folks?

could anyone place a suggestion on the site for creating composite materials, ie you select 2 materials of choice and it paints those materials onscreen mixed together

>>1303906
Same!!

It's being a cunt, I blame my shitty pc.

Infinite heat made easy:

1) Fill an enclosed space with uranium
2) Add air
3) watch the heat self-perpetuate

>>1303993
You lie, it's stopped at 2000 degrees.

>>1303999
I meant a self-sustaining heat generator

>>1303993

Pro Tip: Balance Uranium at ~1000°C with broken metal.

My computer I've been working on for an absurd amount of time. Still not close to done.

For some reason the new versions won't work on my computer guys :(

Any suggestions? I wanna fuck around with uranium.

>>1304354
Uranium is super fucking lame as shit. Doesn't fission. Doesn't even release neutrons. All it does it heat up under pressure.

>>1304446

Well I still wanna fuck around with all the new shit and see how awesome it is and right now the fucking thing starts up, then immediate error.

Shits not cool broheim.

>>1304446
and that is exactly why it is more useful than plutonium for making reactors.

Binary input -> Decimal converter -> 7 seg display.

>>1304473

Yeah yeah yeah makes steam drives turbines and all was good, thats fantastic

Powdertoynoworky!

Simon needs to add in anti-matter.

>>1304473

you know, in real life, it does fission, and it does the same job as plutonium

Where the hell is the Uranium in this game?

Newfag here, my monitor is pretty big, how do i increase the size of the powder toy window?

I think there should be an option to let particles have their own gravity, this way you could play around with things as planetary systems

>>1304643

you read this thread you lazy shit

God you fags r so ffing boring......and this little "game/som" is about as fun as that shitfest minecraft......fuck, i'd rather play sim city old school than this shit.

>>1304701
Hello /v/.

Go back to halo.

Why can't I construct thermonuclear bomb?

download the BETA, bitches

I'm sitting here looking at my HEAT CONTROLS

that's right

Schrodinger's Cat anyone?

>>1304706
This shit is ghey tho, it's not even fun and the interface makes early 90's games look fucking amazing.........

>>1304795
If only my fucking pc allowed powder toy to work

>>1304795
OH SHIT I LOOKED AT IT

>>1304874
Yer prolly better off.....this shit looks more boring than running physics calculations at the LHC.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>1305185
>Implying there aren't people who enjoy pissing around with diamond cased fission bombs.

>>1305185
>zzzzzzzzzzz

atheist plays powder toy
feels like god
OMG GOD exists!!
tries to make life form
omg its not evolving by itself, evolution is wrong

>>1304092
I am making my reactor in 3D, it's the only way to top this shits

>>1305210
Lol@ trying to make "bombs" cuz OMG it's like when I wuz a kid with firecrackers and cherry bombs but BIGGUR OMG1!1!10101!1

Just like other men and their "toys".....this shit is just a timewaster and a real human being has better things to do with their time......like minesweeper and solitaire.

>>1305254
>like minesweeper and solitaire.

Fag.

Real men put on make-up and a skirt , then finger their anus in front of the mirror until they ejaculate.

>>1305254
>real human being has better things to do with their time......like poker

I would but I lost all my money.

>>1305254

>>1304714
Link?

>>1303864
wat is that and how can i make it

>>1305260
U do GET that the end part was satire right?

Ok guys, what will happen when a sun made of lava collides with a sun made of ice?

>>1305973
the lava sun is far hotter, not a fair right

>>1305973
How do you make em collide?


Also, how do you make uranium undergo fission?

>>1306007
uranium does not really undergo fission, it just becomes extremely hot when exposed to sufficient pressure. Makes it useful for reactors whereas the plutonium is far better for bombs.

>>1306032
Ah okay. It said fissile so i thought it might undergo fission as well.

>>1305987
You're right, the sun is hotter than ice.

Link to the good version?

>>1306038
well I tried everything, pressure, neutrons, explosives, heat etc and all it does is heat up, no neutrons get released or anything.

>>1304354
>>1304874

Read this; http://powder.hardwired.org.uk/Download/README.txt

what's concrete and stone used for?

>>1303864
How did you make that really fine channel of whatever in the bottom right of your rig

Just made a working fission reactor with control rods. I've yet to make it produce any real power (need to build a steam generator for that) but for now it seems to control the reaction rate well.

>>1306032
Actually some isotopes of uranium CAN undergo fissil reactions.........Uranium-238 for example breaks down to Uranium-235 and other byproducts.....

>>1306306
oh u

>>1306207
Good foundations.

how do i download the new version? also, how do you make nuclear bombs?

>>1306334
It's true, though.........otherwise where do you think all that radioactive waste comes from? Uranium breakdown and decay that's what.

DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT MADE WITH PHOTONS THAT ONLY MOVE UP, DOWN, LEFT OR RIGHT.

bump

they are called Pythagorean triples bitches

Oh shit, this got updated? I guess that's what I get for not posting on /sci/ anymore.

How do you get the 'fan' to work and does it actually help in cooling things down?

bmup

Wow no one cares about this thread anymore

>>1304473

The whole fun of plutonium reactors is balancing the neutron flux just right so it gradually fissions in balance with the fuel input.

Uranium is boring and stupid.

>>1308716
Fuel input?
Also, would you need a really thin sheath and a really thin rod of plutonium in order to get it to fission really slowly?

>>1308723

You just have a clone dot dropping plutonium in somehow, and have a thing layer of the stuff spread out on metal. Use metal reflectors to control how many neutrons get reflected back into the Pu and you'll get fairly steady gradual fission.

>>1308739
Ah okay I see what you're getting at. I don't like how in the new one, the plutonium fissions into uranium and something else. Cuz then you can't do the old school plutonium reactors.

lol i'm looking at shit that you can load. How do those people make all the fine detail shit?

still don't understand how you get fans to work

Where is everybody D:

>>1309445

You mean the fan wall? You shift drag to create a bunch of lines. I think you have to make some of them overlap each other. It doesn't seem to work very well.

This is my prototype plutonium power core. It's not hooked up to anything yet.

The idea is the plutonium keeps pouring out of the clone, and the diamond panels confine the neutron flux at just the right level to promote a slow sizzling fission reaction.

To my great shame, I had to prime it with a neutron pulse to get it going.

>>1310350
Eh. Better than me. I still get runaway reactions lol
I'm trying to confine them into thin rods and such. i know i know. should get it working before i refine it -.-
