This is probably what molten iron in iron pipes should look like (xpost)

This probably breaks some rules

Try Oxygen Not Included, you'll have to think of a material, its thermal conductivity and melting point
- ONI is basically gamified thermodynamics
  
  Without conservation of energy. The game revolves around finding exploity ways to delete energy.
- I love ONI and have put several hundred hours into it, but Factorio certainly spoiled me in terms of game engine performance. My word ONI runs like crap comparatively. 😅
  
  Thermal/fluid dynamics and the differential equations that govern them are a removed to compute even when working with toy models. Those really cool somewhat accurate simulations of fluid movement in ONI come at a cost.
We all know that water vapor can stay inside them for days and not change temperature...

What makes me wonder, what is the heat conductivity of iron in factorio?
- It has to be a perfect insulator right?
  
  Everything in Factorio is perfect.
