Element Suggestion: Lead

    Abbreviation: Lead

    Color: Silver-gray
    Category: Solids
    Melting Point: 327.5°C 621.4°F
    Uses: It would insulate elements from the effects of Plutonium and Uranium and, Polonium etc. Also, it could be used in nuclear reactors as reactor rods. This would insulate Uranium, from overheating and neutrons. Lead would cool off Water and act as a moderator. Also corrosion resistant. It would absorb a Plutonium bomb into Oxygen, after exploding. Benefiting Plant or Vine from the explosion. It would also help electronics such as battery. Acid doesn't leak through lead neither does Caustic Gas. Lead isn't effected by hot energy particles such as Neutrons and Electrons and, Photons etc. 
    Lead can be created by Metal + Stone = Lead

    it should also block against PROT because it will make building stuff for that easier and less brainslapping

     That's what etc. is for it means etcetera. Which means and so forth.

    I like this, maybe lead shouldn't get affected by heat from energy particles like neut and elec? that would be very useful

    I've made a similar lead before, however quite different, all it does is melt easily and absorb neut, nothing much else.

     I just added that. Thank you.

     I am not basing it off real lead in a sense. I don't want to take in too many suggestions. That's how I lost my Nitrogen suggestion.

    I do like the idea of a radiation-proofing material. Gold absorbs neutrons, but not very well, and it doesn't do much else for that. There are two things I'm not quite sure about... Firstly, how would it stop the effects of uranium, plutonium and polonium? Would it cool down uranium when it heats up, and absorb neutrons? Secondly, making it out of BCOL and STNE might mess up some saves... Personally, I think I'd change that.

    But yeah, apart from that, I think this could be useful in nuclear reactors as a control rod, or as something to keep radiation from leaking out

     Well I didn't want to suggest a useless gas called Radon. That is produced by Uranium and Plutonium and, Polonium. Lead would stop its effects. Although it would be interesting to see this as a state change. Yes, it would keep Uranium at a stable temperature. The effects of Radon would kill off Plant and Vine and, Wood. Even contaminate Water and Oxygen. Possibly distort electronics. Lead would absorb Radon and produce Oxygen.

     My version of lead absorbs them as soon as it hits it. It's more of a glorified destructible VOID for neut.

     Are you even reading it's uses? You keep talking about your version on here. Like it's your thread. I am not trying to be rude. But it sounds like you're bashing this.
