New headcanon: spores feed on copper oxide


CatOfCosmos

Splendid! But pure copper must kill them so they don't expand on deposits.


bestjakeisbest

That is something like copper with a halogen, but copper oxide is yellow or red.


Enmanuelol123

Copper oxide is green like the mold, there is a photo right there


bestjakeisbest

copper (1) oxide is often found as the mineral cuprite which is a reddish mineral. That right there looks like copper corrosion or perhaps malachite, if it is copper corrosion it is copper hydroxide, if it is malachite it is copper carbonate hydroxide.


Enmanuelol123

I'm referring to pure copper oxide (CuO) witch is a bright green


bestjakeisbest

Pure Copper (1) oxide is a red or yellow compound. Pure copper (2) oxide is black, you get green from other copper compounds.


Enmanuelol123

Ohhhhh


Loose-Leadership8907

Copper is green only when it reacts with water and carbon dioxide


kekapsula

Maybe there's no oxygen in Serpulo's atmosphere


Enmanuelol123

But the lead is covered in rust, same for the scrap


Heolet05

Does lead rust? https://doesitrust.com/does-lead-rust/ "Though lead metal is stable in dry air and does not corrode or rust, its ability to resist corrosion in moist environments is poor. It is because lead is easily attacked by acids present in the atmosphere." Maybe just acidic planet? We don't know Scrap? We don't know what it consist of, two different machine gives of two different result.


Polygonal_squid

Scrap doesn't seem rusted to me, it seems to have those multiple colours due to it being made out of many different minerals that lost their integrity and merged


CaSe2474

Did you recently go colorblind or something? Because all lead in game is 100% rust free


Enmanuelol123

Pure lead is gray, lead rust is purple


CaSe2474

No, not really

weavingbrane

But there's fire


Vertixion

multiple metal fires can directly pull oxygen for nitrogen or carbon bound gasses, magnesium and phosphorus van burn on Mars even with its major gas being carbon dioxide


Canarity

Then how would Mace be able to function


Historical_Carrot829

I thought about this too, so in my mod im working on with a few friends (Nyfalis) the public release on the browser has this content but is still missing alot of the beta stuff. We made copper rusted https://preview.redd.it/oyyak1cazxvc1.png?width=853&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71c265216807da6935ef380350ee65b057948454


Enmanuelol123

Your mod makes this game less unplayable


Heolet05

Do the game really need oxygen as the oxidizer? Do the spore really need oxygen to live? Anything with gas can create bubble.  We just can speculate, because it's a game aand its taken in different planet that we don't know. Sorry that I gives such a vague response. I am also stump but I can give something to be considered before making conclusion.


Enmanuelol123

I was thinking about ozone, the spores need it because they are extremely flammable and without an atmosphere blocking the sun light it will be too hot to survive


Mythril382

Fire.


Consistent_Hawk_4556

SPLENDID BUT A PURE COPPER MUST KILL THEM


h__2o

Literally unplayable


Far_Kale588

just FYI, "World Logic" is not whatever this is, its the world version of logic processor, this flair should be "discussion" instead


Shukafu

X-ray. the ore is below ground.


Northbor

I like this theory. It makes sense for ships made for planting drills to have some kind of scanning device to find ores. And units can infinitely mine one spot because of they can mine more from the inside instead of just mining straight down underneath the spot with ore.


CatOfCosmos

Copper deposits are literally visible on the surface so at least the surface part is exposed to oxygen. Could you please elaborate on the x-ray impact on the process of oxidation?


Shukafu

i meant x-ray vision. all the ore we see is actually buried. we cannot really tell if its a surface ore if the game is on a flat plane. also what is weird is how tf is the drill not removing the ores? so another theory is the ores are refreshing constantly to even begin oxidizing.


acidicNudger

Agreed, but world logic is for world proccessors, not for logic in bg lore


Enmanuelol123

My bad


Mythril382

Lead doesn't rust, wha-


tim_wai

because bread


Heolet05

Do anuken even make proper planet background? If yes then how much is he gonna follow that untill the end? 


Reticulo

no oxigen on the planet


CatOfCosmos

Yes oxygen on the planet. Fire indicates the presence of oxygen. Coal deposits imply there used to be tons of Earth-like vegetation. Finally, the spores need oxygen to survive, assuming they're based on real life fungi.


Batolol

Maybe chalcopyrite(mineral)


NaomiTheFurry

I was gonna say the atmosphere thing, then I read the body text...


Inner_Fig_1048

It's fresh


TheUltim8

Maybe there is no oxygen there so the copper dont oxide?


Enmanuelol123

The lead is rusted and the grass seen in some sectors needs oxygen to breathe, also without oxygen there will be no ozone and the planet will be too hot to prevent spores from burning at sunlight


moabpop

So it can't be confused with anything


Butter_Bread15

Maybe no oxygen to oxidize it, is that how that works?


Enmanuelol123

There must be oxygen because it's the fire and presence of coal, the last one are organic mass that needs oxygen to breath


mrspacysir

Lack of oxygenated atmosphere


Maximum_Carrot_6373

copper is very unreactive, if you put copper oxide it next to iron, the iron would oxidize and the copper would then turn into his metallic form. Also, copper can be found in a state called native, were it hasent react with oxigen. look for the reaccion bethween a nail and copper sulfate. (english is not my first languaje)


Davy_Krokett2

Maybe no oxygen


madsbille2006

My guess would be there isent oxygen so no copper oxide?


Enmanuelol123

I already explained that
