7 New Element Ideas

    What about the uses of BREL (Broken electronics)? In the wiki, it has probly 1 use but other than that it's useless. Why was it added then?

    In that case, the wiki should be updated. BREL can be used at high temperatures as it never melts, it generates abnormally high pressure when sparked allowing it to destabilize itself or other powers at high ampage and it can trigger EMP as it is immune to EMP, it can also displace many elements due to it's heavy weight.

    It is going to have another use as well. It will be implemented in the next update.

    Wow! You got accommodation so quick? YAY!
    BTW: What new use will it be?

    I didn't get new accommodation. I am still packing. And BREL+BRMT=THRM

    Oh. Sorry for mentioning it.

    @code1949 Yes, I could see how SIVR and LEAD would be obsolete when compared to DLAY, but both are still useful in other ways, as well as conductivity. I know LEAD absorbs radiation in real life, but I didn't know how to simulate that. Maybe ELEC? That would be useful. And I didn't post this expecting the elements to be flawless, in a sense I hoped they would be flawed so that the TPT community would help me to fine-tune them into feasible elements. For example, my idea for CADM (Cadmium) is probably based on impossible game mechanics and has a long explanation, so I chose not to include it in the main post, but rather on demand. I'm not an expert on game mechanics, so I don't know what properties to set onto an element for a certain thing to happen, except for simple console commands.

    @OmegaSupreme Actually there a few almost-useless elements that don't have properties as useful as these. IDNE could be used in ACID generators and water purifiers, for example.

    I'm supporting you.
    I just think that when people who have a say so in elements that get pu into the game needs to rethink stuff when they says it doesn't have any uses.

    Oh, I didn't know that. Thats why the WIKI should be updated more often. I'm going to add my 100 Wifi Channel TEMP #'s to the Wiki. It will help people program wifi much faster.

    AMCM - Hmm, I'll think about that
    SILV - I'll have ago at that, see if it's useful
    TUNG - Maybe not
    LEAD is interesting, I may have ago
    IDNE - See Chlorine in my mod
    BARM - See Strontium in my mod. Something similar?
    CADM - Send it to me by convo

    Agreed.

    @tommig Tungsten is way overdue in my opinion, and the properties I set to it would make it useful in many applications. AMCM, SILV, and LEAD would be interesting to see. Keep me posted on this in case you do make them. I think I'll take a look at your Chlorine and Strontium mods.
