<div class="IPBDescription">When it doesn't work</div> When is the steam coming from a res node supposed to be on and off? I thought it was on b4 there was an RT on it, then it would turn off when there is one. But then just yesterday I saw a node with no steam or RT (no there wasn't an invisible alien RT). Then today I saw an alien RT but the steam was still coming out of the node.

Basically I want to know if I'm just encountering graphical bugs or if the steam just randomly turns on and off. A small question, I know- but this one little post will let me know if a res node has an invisible RT on it or not for YEARS to come. Also it will help me report bugs. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    IIRC, an un-built RT will still have steam coming out of the node. Some servers have plugins to disable particle effects, which includes steam. Haven't checked about the cloaked alien RT thing.

    For some strange reason if someone builds a RT and you go by and look at the rt for the first time(even if you been in-game for 20 min.)you can still see steam for about 2 secs.

    There was a bug where if the commander recycled a resource tower then the steam would not be turned back on. I don't know if this has been fixed or not. Also, early in the development of NS, resource nozzles only gave out a certain number of resource points and then shut down. It's possible the visual effect still gets disabled after a while even if the resources are now unlimited.

    true, I have seen it several times since 2.0.
    i dont know, maybe I'm just more aware of it now because of cloaked stuctures.
    But it definately happens from time to time.
