Smoke/Liquid Effect on Thorium Reactor

[BnDLett]

Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.

In order to properly run thorium reactors, you need to supply it with cryofluid. Given that cryofluid only remains in the system for so long implies that it is a system that expels the cryo gases (or liquid if it doesn't evaporate). With that stated, I believe that it would be more realistic if there was a smoke-like (similar to steam) effect when the reactor is running and has cryofluid in the system.

Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.

This will not directly make the game better in terms of experience. Although, it will make the game more realistic and appealing in terms of visuals.

realistic

never seen conveyors move by themselves in real life or turrets casting magic spells or infinite ammo in units or infinite ores

I hate to break it to you, but "the game isn't realistic to begin with" is a terrible argument. Sure, the game may include features that makes it unrealistic, but that doesn't necessarily mean that features that are realistic should not be added for the sake of adding more realness to the game.

and that feature gives nothing special and just makes the game require more power for rendering for no reason

Unfortunately, this isn't 1995 where every last ounce of power matters. By your logic, reactors should not emit an effect upon explosion -- otherwise that would take up "more power" for "no reason."

if you don't want it, disable it, there are other equally useless particles in the game so why bother? its just cosmetics to make the game look better than being bare bones.

i disagree

if someone doesn't want to see those useless things that use "power for rendering", there is a toggle in the settings.

the game isn't made specifically for old computers or phones, it only supports them (for now, until 3d, maybe)

I believe that this is really not about realism, but about the atmosphere (no pun intended) and how the game feels, i think it is a nice addition
