Extending Fusion

    One of my favorite features about TPT is fusion. It's quite terrific to see hydrogen turn into noble gas ('helium')  to carbon dioxide ('carbon') to oxygon. But I was upset that it stopped at oxygon because I know there is still a long ways to go. My knowledge of solar fusion is a little rusty but I think that oxygon can be fused into neon (perhaps create a second form of noble gas. Maybe its CType?) which can be fused into Silicon (Molten PSCN, Molten NSCN, and maybe broken electronics? I recommend broken electronics because there really isn't a way to create broken electronics-this will help people to create EXOT makers.) which, at last, can be fused into iron (molten iron).

     

    So no new elements are needed for my idea, just new code. It seems simple IMO, any suggestions?

    oxygen fuses at 9500C, 250 pressure and 15 Newtonian gravity I think, into BRMT (?). This instantly turns into a lava form. I don't know what else could be added to the chain, you probably didn't know about that one.

    wait, say what? what's with the deut producing fusion on the front page? brmt was added? why does nobody tell me these things!!! D:

    oxygen fusion was added maybe a month or 2 after the original (even though it was done right after, I thought it was in and didn't realize until then). The wiki might have more info on it.

    Lol, you didn't know?

    Ok so we skip the neon stage and it goes straight to silicon (brmt) but what about iron?

    @Hatter: look here:(https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=12901) for the original fusion chain. There were a few reasons fusion stops after oxygen fusion, mostly because NEW elements would have to be added for me to write an extended fusion chain and because the maximum temperatures and pressures in TPT are 9999 and 256, respectively, and unless those limits are raised it would be nigh on pointless to add more steps.

    Dont you dare suggest a change to Fusion. I worked too hard supporting and vieing for fusion, and its finally added.  Fusion doesnt need to be more complicated or more 'realistic'. 

    Its at a state of balance between asthethicity and functionality.

     I knew about the oxyg, but not the brmt or the apparent deut creation.

    it doesn't create deut, but it uses many elements fission and EXOT do, so their reactions often combine into strange chains.
