    What do you mean by not having many ways of being implemented? Protons are pointless too, explain what uses do they have? Most elements you listed were plain and simple to implement with some uses.

    It wouldn't be that difficult to implement the system.

    Suggestions for elements without too many uses are rejected, yet there are a lot already in-game. Wouldn't it be easy to remove useless elements and put in others, perhaps from notable mods?
    Even if that would break saves, it would be better in the long run... They would be replaced with dust, right?

    I don't know much about coding but I can insure you that they will not turn to dust. I think they will turn to the element corresponding to their number in the code. 
    Replacing elements by others is a very bad idea, the best is simply to add the new elements. By the way, some of the current elements are actually coming from "notable mods". Still, I think the devs prefer to code their own elements than to search elements for hours in hundreds of mods.

    Whatever they do when they're gone, I don't care, but I'm in favor of removing near-pointless elements makes space for new ones. Think of it as... Spring Cleaning.

    I agree with you, the more useful elements there is, the more TPT will be evolved (in terms of saves).
    But, I try to be realistic: there are thousands of saves in TPT, most of them are simple and using these elements.
    It is not possible to delete one (and even less several) elements of the game. If there is an element with the same number, as I said that would "just" turn to that element , but if there is no element replacing it, it may corrupt the whole save, making the file unreadable. Causing the removal of many saves...

    Most saves are pointless, anyways... Besides, useless elements don't have many properties, and thus, are pretty much pointless.

    Just to make it clear, devs will NEVER, I stress that, never purposefully break saves. You aught to search the threads for all of the old element suggestion threads. Every single element was added only because enough support was put behind it to add it to the game. This means every single element has some use.

    Please don't act like you know what is best for TPT when clearly you are just annoyed that there are a few elements you do not know how to use properly (Not trying to be mean or anything).

    I can use them, I just think that the most useless elements should be removed.

    No. that would break saves and this game is not called realistic toy.
