Gallium, High thermal mass
-
I like this element, the heat absorption effect was something I wanted CRMC to do.

Wow, you got pretty angry pretty fast..
I understand what you mean, but currently, TPT has no concept of energy, just temperature. There's no way to express in an element (currently) that four times the energy will heat it up by the same amount - I don't think so, at least.
Edit:
Oh you already coded it? Never mind then, in that case, I think this is a pretty great idea.

btw, it definitely creates and destroys heat by TPT standards. Which i'm fine with, because not much else does that. It's very obvious if you look at the code, it's manually adding or subtracting from .temp without doing the opposite to another particle. That definitely breaks thermodynamics. -
No it's not. Materials in real life have different amounts of thermal mass. It acts the same way.
It doesn't break the laws of anything.
If it took 20c to heat one particle to 5c, but only takes 5c to cool it 20c, then it does.
Why don't you try heating up a cubic meter of steel with a cubic meter of air. Even if that air is 10000c, that steel is only gonna change a few degrees
You guys are crazy

I don't want to argue with this you. I'm talking only about TPT, not real life. In TPT physics the code is literally telling it to create or destroy heat, to simulate thermal mass. Thermal mass is not a property currently simulated in TPT, this would be the first element to do this.
I would still consider it realistic, it's attempting to simulate this property in the best way it can.
