Is it true that Excited Photonic Matter cannot be transported by vehicle?

[Hassink]

I'm trying to plan ahead a little so I cannot yet test this in my own game. But I read somewhere (yes on the internetz...) that the Fluid Freight Platform, despite accepting other gases, does not accept Excited Photonic Matter. If this is true, and since there are no packaging recipes either from what I see on the wiki, does this mean Excited Photonic Matter can really only be transported through pipes? There is no way to get it into a vehicle?

If true I'd have to revise my plan somewhat. I guess the same would also be true for Dark Matter Residue, but that is less important to me. Can someone confirm this?

Excited photonic material is made in a converter from thin air. There is a no input.

Assuming you can build the converter and you can connect it to electricity, you can have unlimited excited photonic matter at any location on the map instantly.

Why would you need to transport it?

just tried it, fluid train cars can transport it, it just can't be packaged
Same with Dark Matter Residue.

Yeah I'm not sure why you would transport it by train, unless you just what all the Converters in one place.

When you read stuff on the net - best to check with what the Dev's point too as a source.

As with any fluid/gas - they follow the same rules as anything else.

As to Fenix's comment - yep - if there's no recipe - can't package it up - nor unpackage it - so makes sense.

Course that may change at some point - who knows.

Also its considered a "Gas" - so no lift to worry about.

I guess I missed the fact on the wiki that its produced from nothing, also I asked here precisrly because I didnt want to trust just 1 internet source. This solves my "problems" Thanks guys!

All good - learned something new myself.

I have a central source of it and transport it by train. However that's my personal choice because trains are cool. Practically it doesn't make much sense. The stations take up way more space than just putting local converters.
