Phase changes have been added to the game system and most gases now have an associated Liquid and a pure solid phase.

The following exist only in solid state and have no gaseous form: Charcoal, Coal, Silicon, Iron, Copper, Nickel, Silver, Gold, Lead, Uranium.

Mixtures

Fuel	67% H2, 33% O2	Orange	Autoignition at 573.15 K / 300 °C
HydroNox	50% H2, 50% N2O	N/A	Autoignition at 323.15 K / 50 °C
Air	75% N2, 25% O2	White	16 kPa Partial Pressure O2 minimum is required for human player breathing. Hyperoxia is not simulated.

Simulation Mechanics

• Ideal gas law (PV=nRT) is simulated.
• Thermal conductivity is not simulated. (f.e. heat is transferred at the same fixed rate for all substances; structures and devices are ignored)
• Thermal radiation is simulated. (caveat: radiated infrared is not absorbed by nearby objects)
• Phase change is simulated. (caveat: simplified and with fixed temperature for solid state)
• Fluid dynamics are not simulated. (caveat: thermal convection is partially simulated)
• Each environment grid cube acts as a single point and each connected pipe network acts as a single point.
• All pumps/mixer also act as a check valve.
• Gas stoichiometry is partially utilized. Some reactions do not reflect real-life.
• Gas pressure determines liquid pressure; gravity/height is ignored.
• Pipes have arbitrary stress value determined by amount of non-correct phase of substance within them (liquid in a gas pipe).
• [bug?] Liquid temperature is controlled by gas temperature. (if no gas present, liquid heater will not function)
