creeper evaporation?

[firereaction]

sometimes if you send some blasters to cap up the emitter before you cleared the land, the moment the creeper looses contact with the emitter it will start to evaporate, is this only for the lowest height of creeper or does it evaporate for any height?

Somewhere in an Easter Egg in the game, Virgil explains the behavior of the creeper as modeled after a heat dissipation model. So think of it this way, if you turn of the heat source, everythign starts cooling down, but very hot things take a little longer to cool down that things that are just lukewarm. (Who was "luke" anyway?)

actually what happens is that it continues to spread out but whenever the creeper is at a thinness below .01 or something like that then it dissipates.  so evaporation is caused when the creeper gets too thin.  also this has been discussed before.

Is someone still maintaining the wiki?

Eh?  Technically I should be, but I got tired of removing (LOL INFORMAITON POSTED BY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) at the end of every edit.  You can take the man out of the country, but not the country out of the man, so to speak.
