Phase changes have been added to the game system and most gases now have an associated Liquid and a pure solid phase.

The following exist only in solid state and have no gaseous form: Charcoal, Coal, Silicon, Iron, Copper, Nickel, Silver, Gold, Lead, Uranium.

Mixtures

Name	Contents	Tank Color	Notes
Fuel	67% H2, 33% O2	Orange	Autoignition at 573.15 K / 300 °C
HydroNox	50% H2, 50% N2O	N/A	Autoignition at 323.15 K / 50 °C
Air	75% N2, 25% O2	White	16 kPa Partial Pressure O2 minimum is required for human player breathing. Hyperoxia is not simulated.(NOTE: Suit air mixture should be 100% O2)

Simulation Mechanics

Concept	Simulated	Notes
Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)	Partial	Pressure will change with temperature, volume, and moles; Temperature will not change
Thermal Conductivity	No	Rate of energy transfer is the same for all substances
Thermal Radiation	Partial	Radiated heat is not absorbed by nearby objects
Phase Change	Partial	Gas/Liquid have simplified graph; Solid has a fixed temperature; Plasma is ignored
Fluid Dynamics	No	'Convection' parts work in pressurized environment, other parts work in vacuum
Gas Stoichiometry	No	The various reactions are arbitrary and vary depending on device used for different products from the same reactants
Gravity/Density	No	Gas/Liquid is present in all directions
Environment Volume	Yes	Each environment cube acts as a single point with fixed volume
Pipe Volume	Yes	Each pipe network acts as a single point with fixed volume depending on number of pipes segments
Flow Direction	Yes	All pumps and mixer act as check valve, passive check valve available, other valves are not one-way
Pipe Integrity	Yes	Liquid pipes hold low pressure, but may contain both liquid and gas without consequence; Gas pipes hold high pressure, but stress and break with too much liquid
Heat Transfer	Partial	Liquid temperature is controlled by gas temperature (if no gas, liquid heater will not function)
