Atmospheric Pipe Changes Megathread

That means you don't need pressure to go ad infinity and instead can just have a higher amount of this high capacity gas instead.

Maybe i can whip up a concept past the feature freeze.

That would be OxyB; Heat capacity's at 300, surpassing plasma's 150 by double.
However, OxyB is notoriously hard to get + really RNG based, so it's unreliable + engineers can't do anything since they have to wait for science/mining and as a personal taste, I'd rather have a reliable way to generate energy rather than a 1 in a hundred round to get enough amount of OxyB.

This is what also plagued modern hellburn and why it's not popular, it's just... too hard. 45 minutes idling around, and then need to purge the entire system, rebuild it, and that is if you're lucky in TEG maps where there are willing engineers that wants to babysit an already uber-deadly engine ever since more pipes can burst. I do still like the idea of a gas having a really slow pressure buildup but good heat retention, as well as more matsci that involves TEG semiconductor, but this last part is unrelated to the thread.
