    I've found out about this 'new' material.
    If you set the ctype of PIPE to NONE after it's got its brick layer, you get a nice material that can stand great temperatures.
    And if it IS damaged, it will shatter in BMTL. But. Once all BMTL has fallen off it'll create a new brck layer! 
    Therefore, if you do it right, you can create an infinite BRCK lava source without using any clones!

    Feel free to post your creations using this ;)

    The PIPE doesn't conduct heat though, but the brick layer does.
    And it doesn't transport items any more, but it works very nicely!

    How can it work nicely if you just defeated the element's main purpose? 0_o
    Lol.

    It's as if the PIPE is cloning BRCK - if you melt it, more BRCK replaces it. Very odd, but as cctv said, useless.

    Using an element in another way it's supposed to work DOES NOT immediately mean it's useless!

    With 'it works very nicely' I mean that it's good at not getting destroyed.
    Quit the tunnel vision, guys.
    Think outside the box.

    It can't be useless if I just found a couple of uses for it. Q.E.D.

    this is AWESOME :P

    and @cctvdude99 he made a NEW ELEMENT from an OLD element , that in itself is pretty noteworthy

    and it DOES have many uses, its a destroyable replicating barrier, AND it wont just melt the whole thing if heated, so it works as an insulating shield that can still be destroyed 

    if nothing else it can be used as a better INSL thats acid-proof
