Gallium, High thermal mass
-
Basically what the element does from a coding perspective is actively resists heat changes. That's not similar at all to HEAC. This element takes a lot of energy to heat / cool, something that can't be done by setting HeatConduct (this seems to "destroy" heat to do what it does). It also has HeatConduct set to 255 though, so i'm unsure how it works in practice.
No idea how useful or helpful it would be, but that is what it does.
Also since this is a liquid form ... should there be a solid form?Edited 3 times by jacob1. Last: 6th Sep 2017 -
It does have a solid form that solidifies at galliums melting point.
also as you saw it takes the difference between the last frames heat and the new frames heat >> 2 add to previous heat.

Isnt this similar to.. liquid quartz?
It resists thermal change and such and from what I could tell, it would work as a semi insulator.
Regardless, since I do not know what it actually effects:
I assume that if you heat gallium up to 1000 degrees, it would give off 10 times as much heat as, say, glow does before both reach the same temperature.Immediate uses (of course only if I am correct) include:
-Bombs (having superheated Gallium act as thermal shrapnel)-Armor (Combining it with Vibranium could net astounding results)
-variable heat resistor (thickness of gallium)
-heat reservoirs (Self explanatory, you could store extreme amounts of energy inside it to buffer systems)
So, my judgement (which has no weight whatsoever in the inclusion but I will voice it anyway) is:
Add it, but give it a bit of a different coloration. -
What color should it be.
Also quartz does not do this.
its default is 4x the thermal mass. It could be bumped up to 8 or 16 times in order to have a more usable effect.

Obviously, quartz doesnt do exactly that, but it acts as a thermal buffer.
As for color, I would actually suggest a color similar to titanium. Something like a light grey (with a sheen to it, so it looks a bit like mercury, givent hat gallium shines so nicely.)

How is vibranium broken? It works as designed as far as I'm aware. It absorbs heat and pressure. It does "release" it when exploding but this part doesn't work well. It's not designed to store and release heat. -

Yes it resists both heating and cooling changes. for example, 4 parts of 200 degree water and 1 part 0 degree gallium would equal 100 degrees.
Reverse would be 1 part 200 degree gallium and 4 parts 0 degree water would be 100 degrees as well.
