Orbit of stone, mysteriously propelled

    Hi there, i was playing around with gravity options, so i set it to radial, added some circles with anar/dust, and used water as "outer shell". Then i threw some lava into the water and some of the stone from this reaction went into "satellite" state >:D

    Whats funny is that the stone somehow can control its speed, or at least spins up to some speed very fast, just to stay on some "orbit" and eventually move further. I think its a nice example, just by playing around with modes, without any specialized Newtonian gravity stuff :D

     

    Edit: I also added FRZZ, so it spins just right after STNE

    Edit 2: Test with CLST gave interesting results- CLST has flattened orbit. It also intersects with STNE orbit, sometimes causing the CLST to bounce off the stone, after which it may or may not get back to its orbit.

     

    Edit 3:

    After further testing, I can say that:

    DEUT, ISOZ, OIL, WATR, BIZR (i.e. first group) have their own, slightly flattened orbit.

    CLST has abit smaller orbit than the group above, but rotates faster.

    FRZZ/SNOW are orbiting just behind STNE, without their orbit flattened, they also have smaller orbital speeds

    Everything in powder category besides that (i.e FRZZ/SNOW/CLST) is either too resistant to move when it gets close to the center or is too heavy to be able to fly away from it.

    Putting alot of stuff on the 1st group flattens and widens the orbit, also curves the STNE one.

    DESL is very fast and its trajectory is easily bend by STNE, thus it often goes out from screen.

    NITR is heavy, and you can place it after the STNE "motor" is spinning in the "best" range- its orbit is wider CLST one.

     

    K, enough tests for now, its 02:00am and instead of sleeping, I'm throwing some pixels to see what happens- my life is perfect...
