Oddrune is the handle for a Seattle area mathematician. She received her undergraduate degree in Applied Computational Mathematics from the University of Washington and did her graduate work at U.C. Davis.
Note from Oddrune[edit]
I'm writing some things down on this page for my own use, since I play DF on multiple computers. Please don't delete my notes to myself. Most of these are open questions for me and I don't want to lose my research.
Magma Ops[edit]
Can we (usefully) model DF magma with diffusion equations or some other transport model?
- Yes, diffusion. Discretized with viscosity. Probably how it's done in code.
What is the optimal path width for diverting magma long distances?
How great an improvement does the lock system confer?
- Useful for pools, less so for pipes. Mostly helps with minimizing evaporation.
How great an improvement would a series of pump-and-dumps confer?
Can you improve diversion by adding a second (or third) tunnel at z+1 and dumping it in farther along the line (thus potentially creating some 7's later in the flow)? How much does it help?
- Does work.
Can Fire Imps et al. spawn in sealed, artificial chambers (such as a dumping crevasse)?
- None seen so far.
Research ways to use magma against aquifers.
Psychology and Preferences[edit]
Liking Pig Tail Cloth helps both weaving and clothes-making with it. Does it also help dyeing? Seems like a no.
Industry[edit]
Is there a good way to add refining for potassium ores to make potash? Sylvite is principally KCl, and can by converted to K2O (potash fertilizer) or KOH (potash lye).
- Only with smelter hack so far.
Is there a way to convert a mineral to a milled product?
- None so far.
Is there a way to use that product in conjunction with the glass furnace to produce other shades of glass? cobaltite -> (by sintering) CoAl2O4 -> (+sand, +pearlash) cobalt blue glass
- Can mod in and use smelter hack. No other way so far.
