Is it possible to create a material that constantly generate vapor (Steam/Mist/Gas,whatever), but did not disappear? Or an item with the same purpose.

[wolflance]

.....I guess it can't be done, since no one is replying.

[Eldrick Tobin]

Or people could still be trying to figure out if it can... it's only been 7 hours and some change.

Personally Materials !!SCIENCE!! is far from a forte. There's checking out "Santaclase" from S.L.A.D.E. when that's tossed into a magma hole garbage dump it tends to smoke forever but not just vanish... forever here is "why is that still smoking a month after I last tossed something in..."

Let's see... a Carpenter's Workshop lit up when I was punishing my current race&civ test, and that burned for like a year and a half before I just deconstructed it.

Perhaps some notes can be gleaned from Warlord's Bonfire Mod?

"That's a bit of research that might not yield ANY results :/"

Like I said this is a !!SCIENCE!! that's not my forte. Good Luck.

[wolflance]

Thanks for your kind reply. I will look into the the bonfire mod and see if I can recreate anything good from it.

Attempt 1:
Let's try modify the steel, by adjusting its boiling point to be lower than melting point, at room temperature.

It should evaporate at room temperature now. I set the HEATDAM_POINT to NONE, let's see if the steel will "gas-out" or not.

EDIT:
I used copper in my testing...and sadly it doesn't work. Even with HEATDAM_POINT set to none, the copper picks i embark with evaporate into nothingness almost immediately.

[wolflance]

So editing boiling point results in failure. I guess ignition point won't work either, Since it will likely burn the dwarf holding the material.

The !!Copper Pick!! would just burn. Forever.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Probably setting the ignition point to something rather low and leaving the melting point as-is would work. That's why graphite and lignite never go out, after all.

[wolflance]

I was trying to create a solid material (Or Item) that generate gas without !!burning!! and/or evaporate into nothingness. So anything that burn won't do...

[soul4hdwn]

can try making a vermin that leaks out blood or ooze that evaporates/steams.  make sure it isn't hateable and doesn't die from blood loss. lol

Thanks for the advise. I will make my dwarfs do that
