Summary

0003498: Some hardcoded materials are unrealistically immune to heat/cold

Description

The hardcoded HEATDAM_POINT, COLDDAM_POINT, IGNITE_POINT, MELTING_POINT, and BOILING_POINT values for potash, ash, pearlash, mud, and grime are all set to NONE, making these materials effectively indestructible.

Assuming potash is potassium oxide and pearlash is potassium carbonate, potash should have either a BOILING_POINT or HEATDAM_POINT of 10630 (as it decomposes at 350°C) and pearlash should melt at 11604 and boil/decompose at some other higher temperature. Proper values for the other materials would require knowing exactly what they're intended to be made of.
