The two NextParticle successors land on opposite sides of the point where the particle expired, at the same height, which is what makes a plume widen as it rises. Along X and along Y, one successor is displaced by a random distance between an eighth and a quarter of this figure, in leptons, and the other by the same distance the opposite way.
Only a smoke system reads the figure. Gas, weak gas and web systems place their single successor with NextParticleOffset instead, and fire, spark and railgun systems create no successors. The figure has no effect on a particle’s size, drawing, collision or damage.
