Evaporation of elements

Back when those were added we had low quality standards :p, actually most are all from crackers mod.
Also cheaty elements are for people who just love to blow stuff up. -

EQVE is now used as indistructible DUST.
GRAV looks cool and can be used with streamlines to understand velocity better.
LOVE and LOLZ have been used to produce elements without using CLNE or any its varients (except CONV).
PLNT and VINE are used to heal stickmen and to make trees.
ANAR can be used to make floating powder cities.
BOMB was because people wanted to destroy things completely.
DEST was because people complained that BOMB died as soon as it touched something (I think).
SING and AMTR was because people want overpowered elements with real world equivalents.
WARP is just weird.
STK2 is the most useless I think, you can't control it while controling STKM so what's the point.

STK2 has an alternate keyboard mapping, so you can have two players on at once, I believe. Different parts of the keyboard.
VINE is a helper element, it was never specifically intended to appear on the menu, since it was meant to be a function of PLNT.
(So if you draw PLNT using the VINE element, the generated PLNT will crawl along surfaces like WOOD entirely on its own and grow without support.)
*Edit: It looks like this function is partially broken right now, you can test it, it might be fixed in the next update. Works kinda, tends to randomly stop though.
LOVE and LOLZ were testing elements that preceded LIFE elements in essential design, to make sure that arbitrarily plotting pixels in the field would function as intended. They're not on the menus for obvious reasons, alongside EQVE - removing them is more painful than just keeping them, since they'll not accumulate bugfixes or features, ever.
WARP is intended to turn solid elements into gas-equivalents artificially, to spread things out or destroy them in amusing ways. That WARP was weaponized as part of EXOT is just a demonstration of why it's so effective.
