Fun with Colliquative Pressure Cookers.

[qbradq]

Can you not log out while the cooker is going?

Also, I'd be interested to see some results with higher-purity cookers.

Build a church, ffs.

Wtb glass panes, paying 10 silver a piece. Consider it a contribution to helping spread the word of the Lord in the darkest corners of the new world!

Also, as to not derail, I'll report the last thing I bothered to check, namely : wether the highest alchemical values equalize properly on the last stretch. It seems that the bug plaguing 99/0.3/0.2/0.4 stuff doesn't have a counterpart for the last stretch, in that it adds the correct amount to even the values. So 40/39.7/10/10.3 turns into 40/40/whatever/whatever i was curious wether it'd go up the entire 1 point, and thus go up to 50ish, alternating the stats

I made a 1 cent pressure cooker and started cooking a chunk of granite that was 2 points apart on the high side and put a limestone in slot 2. The highest 2 elements harmonized nicely on the granite. The null value limestone got all fluffy. I smiled. That was a 2 hour run.

Since salty granite is a goal of mine, I made a 5 cent pressure cooker and got serious with a 3 cent piece of granite and a bottom line limestone from Walmart.
Input: 21.52/20.64/18.54/39.31 3%
2 hours later the granite gained +2 to Salt and the limestone turned into something fluffy. I took it all out and went to bed.

Day 2: Pressure cooker gets plugged in (110W 60Cycle) with the improved piece of granite.
Granite Input: 23.52/??/??/39.31
Almost Output: 33.51/14.43/12.86/39.31 7%

That was a 10 hour run and on the 11th hour login ... my stove Imploded/Exploded. I guess. It was gone.

Since a <Harmonious> Yin/Yang mind state was not in evidence, I lit of bowl of weed and contemplated my existence in this random world. Then I planted 4 fields of 0 cent cotton so I could get valuable oil to make oily boards to make my game boards to get my H&N above 12,800 so I could maybe get more than 50/92 planed boards (again, I am plagued with contemplating my life). The fields were Plenty = 2, 5, 50, 39 which made me stop and contemplate once again.

Giddy up

Try putting a damn worm in your belly button, it might eat lint ...

[lachlaan]

Might take more than that to get to the lint, though. I suggest putting a worm next to some grass inside a pressure cooker, waiting 3 hours and then exposing the belly button to the steam coming from the now clearly unstable pressure cooker.

So I made a pressure cooker and set some stuff to equalise. Then I read up on it and realised it didn't work how I thought. So, after 30min I replaced the neutral humus with something that was high in one element but low in the others. I just came back to find that the granite had done its job and equalised after an hour (only needed 1 tick) but the grass that I had swapped in had also had a tick.

I hypothesise that the cookers ticks happen about every hour after it is put in there not when you put an item in it.

Purity is supposed to affect time... what purity is your cooker that takes 1 hour?

[Scilly_guy]

0.3% pure (multiplier is 1.03)

Update: the 3% grass has vanished on its second tick.

[martinuzz]

I put four unbaked 19% pure pressure cookers into two 20% pure pressure cookers.
I added 5 branches to the stoves, and lit them.

When I logged back in, in one pressure cooker, I now have two highly chymically unstable 22% pure unbaked pressure cookers, the other pressure cooker is empty.
So for only 5 branches worth of burning time, there's a 50% item loss, and a 3% purity gain. I don't see me using this much in the future.

BTW, for who wonders if 'chymically' is a typo by the devs, it isn't. While the dictionary says it does not exist as a word in modern english language, it has been used in history.

Probably the most famous scientist / alchemist using it in the 17th century was Robert Boyle (you know, the guy from Boyle's Law, in physics).

"If the juices of the body were more chymically examined, especially by a naturalist, that knows the ways of making fixed bodies volatile, and volatile fixed, and knows the power of the open air in promoting the former of those operations; it is not improbable, that both many things relating to the nature of the humours, and to the ways of sweetening, actuating, and otherwise altering them, may be detected, and the importance of such discoveries may be discerned."
