i have been trying for a while to achieve fusion in The Powder Toy without using anything from the TOOLS menu, and this afternoon I did it!

the two really difficult things were, 1) condensing the DEUT (which is like... some kind of misguided attempt at deuterium oxide/heavy water? idk it's bad but it's a good neutron source

and 2) creating a volume in which the high neutron flux (and high temp/pressure) would interact with the HYGN fast enough to not combust it (with the omnipresent oxygen???) ...

... before it fuses. which I did! detecting the fusion is easy because a) it increases yield but b) unlike fission it produces PHOT.

anyway basically TPT models atomic physics poorly but it's still fun

pictures! 1) the device prior to being activated. 2) a fission explosion begins. lots of nuclear particles are generated but do not yet interact with the HYGN 3) the fusion occurs. note the red and yellow PHOT as well as the upper half of the HYGN,… https://cybre.space/@tindall/106338584106060401 …pic.twitter.com/CdLvHLVwE7
