Does anybody have actual evidence of gases condensing?
« on: June 30, 2014, 02:01:47 pm »
If so, under what circumstances?

I tried doing some !!Science!! myself, making a material ignite at 10,000 and boil at 10,197.
being on fire raises your temperature 200 degrees above ignition point and air cools you off a bit, so it verrrry slowly, gingerly approaches 197.  Then boils, and the gas persists for about 10-20 ticks before it disperses.

During those 10-20 ticks, the gas is NOT on fire anymore, and ambient was much lower, so the idea was that it would cool off by the tiniest amount before dispersing and condensing back down into solid or liquid.  But this didn't happen. It still just floated away.

But maybe other people have different experiences or experiments?

Wouldn't it re-ignite when it condensed with those settings?

Oh yeah.

I just re-tested using dfhack to start a rainstorm the tick after it boiled, though, and same thing still happens.

No, gases do not condense. If you're looking for something which looks like condensing, you need vapor.
