i like this idea, and it would be fairly simple to make an algorithmic rule for blending elements, for example: powder+liquid=heavy liquid
liquid+ gas = lighter liquid etc. also, if blended, the traits (or coding variables) of one particle would be averaged with the traits of the other, e.g. a particle like nitro (burn: 50 exp: 60) mixed with a particle of dust (burn: 10 exp:2) so the new element would have variables like : burn: 30 exp: 31

this average would be able to take the work off of the programmers, they would only need to name the new particles, and possibly not even that.
so if it is possible +1000

I know... have a new element called "MIX". It's like anti-matter, expect it's a liquid and it can dissolve more elements. Shortly after dissolving, MIX becomes the mix, e.g. WATR+SALT+MIX=MIX that will turn into Seawater. WATR+SALT on it's own should NOT make seawater without the handy element, MIX.

@rdococ
it should be a tool, not an element. and devs should specify which elements cant be mixed in the code (BHOL/WHOL, PLSM/CFLM etc.)

Oh ok i see :)

@Catelite
that would be a problem, however using a variable-averaging algorithm, it wont be.

Portal in + Portal out = Boom, you just broke the space-time continuum...

Too much to code lol...
