So, the more I think about the heat mechanics, the more it doesn't sit right with me. From a real world physics point of view, it's about the worst possible solution to the problem: "My machines keep freezing, should I modify the design to include a simple and efficient electric heating element ...

Real nifty, huh?

Neither new nor old system is very realistic for lots of reasons, and one can hardly say that one is realistic over other.

Here is a quote from the FFF :

The new system is a fairly large step back in terms of the "realism" of the fluid simulation in Factorio.


And? They're still ...

The way I see it is as a trade off.

Old System
Pros:
Interesting behavior at lower scales
Throughput feels more grounded
There's more of a puzzle challenge with the current system
Cons:
Nonperformative
Leads to a lot of awkward building considerations like needing to use absurd amounts ...

As much as I love granularity, considering the cost to doing fluids more realistically, and the fact the current system is so squirrely and unintuitive, this is definitely for the best.

The only thing I'd consider is the curve for pulling from a segment to also considers the capacity of that ...

In case anyone was still curious about the quality thing

I find this interesting. There at first seems little point to recycling perishables in an attempt to improve their quality, since they will keep decaying anyway. But now I wonder what stack-merge-split trickery could be ...

I was talking to GregoriusT. Not you mmmPI.


Sorry since it was public and not a private message i received the notification for the quotation and misunderstood it ^^, i thought you were thanking ME as responsible for the improvement in your gameplay compared to the several FFF where you ...
