Was playing around with the idea of splitting hydrogen via protons, but on a small scale. Basically I wanted to find a way of producing and containing hydrogen in a way that *always* allowed the electron to be released

@Dead9plus10Memer: Its on fp because TPT is a physics game, physics is a science. This is science (also smth I never knew you can do in this game)

OK thx!

@LBPHacker BTW What part of the source code did you read? I couldn't find the even tmp part. But anyways, I think that's because HYGN makes PHOT when it undergoes fusion, and it sets the tmp to 1 so that it won't react. (HYGN.cpp, line 116)

> "never know for sure until you test stuff!" - Mine is probably not a popular opinion but in fact you never know for sure until you read TPT's source! :P Having done so I now know that PHOT indeed splits HYGN to ELEC and PROT regardless of random chance, *if* the tmp of the PHOT is an even number. No idea what the use for that is though.

There should be a small chance for a neutron to come out as well, maybe like 1% or something?

@funky3000 That's right. PROT coming from a split has a tmp2 of 1, unlike normal PROT, which prevents it from combining.

Particles from split hydrogen don't recombine, I remember that was a feature. Not sure why, maybe because they spawn close enough to just reform again

Question- PROT and NEUT normally combine to make HYGN, but it seems to me the particles produced here can't recombine. Can someone test this further?
