Witness the life and death of a P.T. star with this little fusion chamber. Stars will slightly differ every replay. Last 2-4 min. This was so fun to make. Enjoy! Credit goes to Alfa(id:1683916) and Alexzander(id:1689167) for inpiration of chamber design.

    anyone here ever use life gradient display?

    If anyone was wondering, the average lifespan of the star in this simulator can range from 1-3 min. (if you have a decent computer).

    When my save goes off the page, you'res goes on! Talk about "Life Cycles"! THATS IRONIC XD

    So, I changed the reaction methods a bit. The protostar now lasts quite a while now; so it can be decently observed. It was horrible callibrating the temperatures just right, and even then there's like a 1/10 chance it might break (from my tests). If it does, just restart. Anyway, hope everyone finds it more exciting. Enjoy!

    Alexzander, I am very familiar with the actual phases of a star's life cycle. However, to put them in this save and use it to describe the reaction in the chamber, I thought, would be incredibly inaccurate. I thought it would be better to improvise the phases and make them match Powder Toy's version of fusion physics. Also, I actually ran out of signs, so I sadly cannot put a read description sign :( But thank you very much for your comment and support.

    Nice job recreating my save! Although, you should be familiar with the *underlined text ahead* actuall, phases of a star's life, and put them in. Other then that, the save is good, and needs a "READ THE DESCRIPTION" sign within the save. Nice effort!
