please tell me what areas need improvement---a 5 layered, star-like azure that uses no unnatural elements like conv, and uses no super long life gbmb or bcln. crown jewel of "natural" azures, in my eyes.
azure vibr gbmb explosion scale bcln warp dmg

    thank you for the feedback, i was surprised at the heat test results too, cant say it didnt carry my score. i think the easiest way to bust kreeprrs tester is just sustain the heat until enough travels down. will definitely try out other defenses and weapons in the near future

    Getting a really good K-scale score, unfortunately, requires you to use CONV (with tmp, though). Alternately, you could try to optimize for the Z-scale or something. Maybe you could try to design bombs to destroy certain bunkers / walls / materials / alloys / defenses. You could try making weapons other than azure bombs. You could make a set of rules for defenses and weapons, publish it, and challenge people to make the best things they can within that set of rules. I highly recommend doing that

    That's quite good! That heat score especially is unusual, although I question whether good scores on the heat test correlate with more destructive bombs. I think the heat test isn't very good for various reasons. Anyway, at this point you could continue optimizing for the K-scale, or the Z-scale, or some other things. This is a good bomb. Honestly, you can go in a dozen different ways in changing this bomb (or making new ones) from what you have now.

    major changes, relies less on warp from bcln, focusing on high life warp,got great scores, changes deco, uses dmg now, no bcln dedicated to boyl & uran

    triston17879 what do you mean live azures? i dont have any pure prot stacked, but i use the layering helper scripts in the forums plus subframe mod for tinkering- i know theres more features i just cba to understand it all

    BOYL is so, so, so bad for pressure! You should use something else for that. It is a positive feedback loop, but it's incredibly slow. Good superheated WARP goes straight to maximum pressure anyway.

    A quick question: How do you manage to stack layers on live azures? Stasis PROT layering is highly difficult & risky, manual takes ages, and replacement is just more convoluted manual.

    updated, subframe tweaks, unused ligh removed and playing around with boyl+uran positive feedback loop-hopefully more consistent heat and pressure

    i dont use uranium, though i should prob fix that
