I like to use this thread to introduce myself and some of my creations. But first of all: I messed up my nickname. It should be read as HappyMetal (with two p). So please tell me if, and when how i can fix that.
Time to introduce myself: I'm from Remscheid/Germany, 38 years of age, and in real life i'm a materials tester for (surprisingly) Metals. I've seen TPT 3 weeks ago on a youtube-video, and thought: "That could be intresting." It seems that i was right. The next day's (i was ill at home that time) i spend much time with TPT testing all the concepts and reaction.
The next was a Thermite-Factory http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1949442.png But that is still far from perfect. It needs a better seperation of the thermite from the BREL-remains. Sometimes a few BRMT particles also "runs through" into the Thermite store.
My 3rd creation was a display of towers with different building styles, including true to scale dimensions (except the Eiffeltower, which is a little to large) http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1950099.png
At the momet i'm working at my "Weather creator". Which was first saved as Wheather creator 1.0 http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1951389.png wich is withdrawn now, cause i updated it to "Weather creator" http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1951803.png Following things has been modified: Heat problem fixed with winter and summer seasons. So abmient heat now can be turned on. But it can take 1 to 2 minutes to switch between seasons, but there is a disply that shows you when the change is accomplished. Turn on wind to speed it up a little bit. Problems with switching from light to strong snow/rainfall and back fixed Lightnings added. Note: They still can damage vital parts, but i'm working on it. ;-) You asked for it, now you have it: "Apocalyptic Weather" ...not realistic, but funny. Please test the new features, and give me some feedback.
Weather Creator 2.0 ready http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1952876.png Features: random winds, rain and snowfall, winter and summer season (selectable), lightning, a winter in russia, and "Apocalyptic Weather".
I will call this one as completed, cause i'm running out of space, and short of wifi-chanels. So have fun, and report any problems.
I just started a new theme for my creations: Steam and Steel. It mainly devotes with the 19th century and the industial revolution, here in germany nicknamed "time of steam and steel" (die Zeit von Dampf und Stahl). It was a dirty and unhealthy era, but it also was the age of steam-engine trains, steel construction, and great inventors and their ideas. For that reasons i love that time-period.
Nuclear Reactor added. http://static.powdertoy.co.uk/1957650.png This is not only controlable, you MUST keep it under control. Use control-rod to select how many uranium fuel rods should be pressureised. Pull it out for more, push it back in for less. But be careful,it takes some time until the full effect appears, so move the control-rod slowly. Use the pressurising system to select how strong the fuel rods are pressuried. Open the vents to drop pressure for a moment. Fill the system to rise pressure. The three main pumps controls the water flow into the boiler. The boiler-steam-pump removes excess steam from the boiler. Open turbine vents to pass steam to the turbines to create electricity.
Be careful, it's a quiet sensitive complex. Use controls slowly and try to get all six turbines running.
