    Yes, although the only element i like is Titanium. But there should be enough info for the element (ig, Does it shatter under pressure? Does it melt? Does it destroy particles like VACU and SING? Does it Produce Pressure? Negative or Positive?)

    If you want to suggest something, you should do it like this: (for example)


    Element Name : Titanium
    Shortened name :TITM
    Destructible? : Yes
    Melting Point : 5000C
    Shatters under pressure? : No
    Conducts electricity? : Yes
    Special Property : <Insert what sort of special reaction with existing elements here, it could be anything you want>
    In-Game Description : Titanium, Stronger than QRTZ
    Uses : Tank Armor, New wiring etc

    Yes, they are useful in real life, but this is not real-life. Elements are added to TPT for usefulness. Most of them have been rejected as well. Titanium seems to be the only one that has some good applications that we may need, however, I suggest you add some more properties to it to distinguish as a separate element instead of a high-melting point copy of METL.

    Some of us are just here to have fun and not make front page. So no, some of us do know what we're doing without making saves. I used to mod this game, putting useless elements that have been rejected by simon and other moderators is useless, because they rejected it for a reason. The game will lag, and the element will take space on the limited number of spaces we have already. So, before you start whining, titanium is not a bad idea, but it needs more detail. The rest, rejected for a reason, and we do not want to waste time/speed for uselessness. If you want a non-corrosive element, look at DMND or QRTZ.

    We do need to inform you do we not? I have read all of that post!
    It does not matter if we get a front page or not. We are merely repeating what has been established by the dudes!
    Also, I should note that all of my saves are public and that this is my normal account that has lots of saves anyway!

    Quite frankly Jalibad's saves do show an understanding of rabbits as they use aggregate intelligences and memory storage! You're saves on the other hand only use basic neutrino-modifying tech. :c

    ps, I like trains =3

    I have a front page save. And I am here to tell you that almost all of those elements have been rejected, flamed, burned and forgotten by many. Please use the search bar before suggesting.

    I still think element suggestion threads need to be set so only mods or devs can post in them. =/

    Anyway, to get on with the list:

    Carbon-for the creation of the pre-existing element diamond. Extensive heating would be the cause of the element diamond to form.
    - We do already have coal. Not that this is a bad idea, but normal diamond is totally indestructible and immobile, meaning any new diamond formed would effectively destroy or clog any machines intended to produce it. If you -must- have it, it's possible to trick lava into believing that it's molten diamond using the game's console.

    Neon-I know that people think that neon would be useless because we already have glowing dust, but it would come in the form of gas that when sparked, would glow. It would almost be like noble gas, a pre-existing element already in TPT.
    -Sure but, how would it be -different- from Noble Gas in Powder Toy? Taking this at face value means another element that's identical to NBLE.

    Aluminum-This is a big one. It might be impossible to think of, bit I think that the original metal in TPT should be replaced
    by aluminum. After all,it doesn't rust like iron. That being a similar feature to the real world iron we experience every day.
    - Replacing the function of very old game elements, even new ones, isn't a good idea. Besides that, what would Alimunum do that metal doesn't, besides not rust?

    Phosphorus-A new type of red solid explosive that would act similar to thermite but not quite as powerful. I just found out it would be similar to the new beta version element, TNT :(
    -"Not quite as powerful" doesn't work well in application. There's an incredibly thin dotted line between 'earth-shattering boom' and 'gentle breeze' in Powder Toy's arbitrary scale.

    Sulfur-a new type of explosive formed when oil or coal is burned. It would be a yellowish color and be slow burning and when burning, slowly releasing toxic flammable gas.
    - Only problem here is, substances formed from explosions or flames that themselves are flammable would readily disappear before anyone had a chance to use them. Besides to spice up the explosions these elements already make or to use alone, that property doesn't help much for entertainment.  ... Flammable gas coming off of a fire though seems tricky XD But might be cool.

    Argon-and inert gas created for compression of Other gas like elements.
    - I don't really understand what "compression of other gas elements" means xD

    Calcium- it would be a white thick powder that could be used for the slow generation of Hydrogen.
    - Please explain more? How does it generate?

    Titanium-I think this element would be best for high heat endurance, especially against plasma. I know it would be untrainable but its a good idea,to say the least.
    - Sparked metals could possibly do this, or quartz. Making it any more resistant than quartz would start getting a little weird, since plasma is only the hottest thing there is. xD

    Copper-used in a new type of wiring? I'm working on ideas for that.
    - ?_?

    Xenon-another inert gas used primarily for it's glowing property's when exposed to electricity.
    - Unless you mean different-colored glows, I don't really see where this is different from NBLE.

    Lanthanum-this ones exciting, for I could see this bridging the gap between solids and solid explosives. I was thinking that this element would be a solid metal that when exposed to high temperature flame, It would release small pieces of bomb and flame, somewhat like thermite and TNT combined. It would only explode into such pieces in small sections at a time.
    - I can't picture this well enough to say whether it'd be cool or not, so maybe xD

    Platinum-a non corrosive metal used in engines and lab equipment.
    - We have at least eight elements now that can function in this capacity, not all of which conduct though, not even including conductive wall tiles.

    Last but not least, my idea to have rust become a by-product of Iron and saltwater during contact. I think this would be a lot better than having broken metal fall off of iron when it comes into contact with saltwater. It would definitely be a lot more realistic.
    - Realism is the most boring thing ever, seriously. No one would even notice if this were changed besides adding another element powder that could possibly have neat different properties.
