>Maybe I could have it start off lower than 4200C even
Yes I'm fine with this, the numbers I threw out were arbitrary, i thought after posting that the melting point should probably start out lower than TUNG.
Also two things;
I'm wondering if it could be cooled easier than it could be heated, ex; only able to raise 10c, but able to cool 20c.
& I wouldn't so-much mind if the ceramic were weak to pressure in a similar way that GLAS is, where slowly raising the pressure wouldn't break it but a sharp increase (or decrease) in pressure would. If this property were to be added the breaking point should be much higher than glass, because glass is very fragile. -

I'm not sure having it break under pressure is a good idea if "gets stronger at high pressure" is a feature -
Yeah, I see your point. :P
ceramic's in your mod when? -

I've been really busy recently, mostly working on the script manager / server (or homework). Maybe you'll see it in my mod as a test soon :P. I was doing some massive rewrites of a few features and want to do some more before I release anything. -
Saying layering is cheating is like saying using surplus money to get good food is bad. it's a widely known feature :/ you aren't exploiting a person or anything, you're using a game, like you use your extra little money to buy you a treat....but whatevs.....
I also think ceramics has been suggested before, but not quite like this....also u guys maybe should include the "if u stand on ceramics, it doesnt break, when u chop it, it easily does" feature? or something like that? complex directional algorithms will be needed lol (i think)

people just have an oddly negative view of layering. it's not as though it will jump out of the program and start destroying their files or anything like that XD

I think part of it involves the fact that technically, layering as it currently exists is a bug. This is because only the topmost particle, the one that is actually visible, is correctly simulated by the physics engine. One example of what this can do is if you layer INSL, or anything flammable over DMND, it becomes completely indestructible due to the DMND, even though the DMND can't be seen at all.

The "melting point grows with pressure" mechanic is really cool, right now I have it start at about 2600C and go all the way up to 5100C (each pressure = an extra +10C) and the equilibriums it creates are cool looking. LAVA makes a small amount of pressure so if too much changes the pressure drops and some switches back to CRMC. Also I made it not get pressure in a blocky way, it looks nice.
Now the real reason i'm making this is for a stronger element ... hopefully it works :P. Not making it immune to PROT or VIRS though, and things like INSL already reflect PROT anyway. Also don't know if i'll do the complicated cooling down thing, I could just give it really low heat conductivity.
