atmos gas interaction reworks

[CrazyAmphibian]

what this does

reworks the ss14 gas system to be a bit more in line with what players from /vg/ might expect - but with a few tweaks and changes to keep atmospherics a bit fresh.

gasses: what do they do?

• Oxygen
  • nothing was really changed here from base. it's what you need to breathe.
• Nitrogen
  • ditto
• CO2
  • ditto
• N2O
  • reworked its breakdown - it now scales with how hot the gas is. the hotter, the faster it breaks down
  • breaking down releases heat (and N2 and O2). finally you can say that your burn chamber is nitroboosted!
• Plasma
  • greatly increased energy density to match /vg/ standards
  • takes a bit of play to ignite, but packs a punch.
• Amonia
  • burns slow and cold
  • burning turns into N2O and Steam
• Tritium
  • adjusted burn rates. burns incredibly fast, perfect for a quick burst of energy to kickstart other reactions.
  • created by mixing steam with plasma at just the right temp.
• Steam
  • not much has been changed from base ss14 besides its tritium production line.
• Frezon
  • changed reactions to act like /vg/'s cryotheum.
  • the perfect way to rapidly cool gas down to near 0K (or the temperature cap)!
  • currently unobtainable since there's no machine to make it.

---

• All gasses
  • fires have been changed - they require a bit more heat to kick off.
  • burn rates are determined by temperature and the relative concentration of the fuels to the oxidizer, but also other gasses.

---

• technical
  • reaction properties have been moved as constant variables in the reaction files themselves.
  • tweaked minimum mole count to react
  • tweaked how hotspots detect when to occur in order to allow more flexability in what is detected as a flamable gas

why it's good

makes content more familiar and up to vee gee standards, as well as making the interactions themselves a bit more interesting

how it was tested

started up a game in the test map and mixed gases together and made sure that they behave correctly.

Changelog

🆑

• tweak: The gas reactions system has been entirely reworked to make it a bit more interesting and familiar to the old systems.
