    I don't, it seems pretty useless as all the uses you've come up with already have an element that does that.
    Besides, what makes you think having another crack at adding an element that has been rejected 156477 times before, will get it added this time?

    Plastic has all these uses COMBINED, so it would make a great element.

    Combining elements should not be a reason to add one.

    Well clay dust and water makes paste and paste heated up makes brick and with pressure brick turns to stone.

     

    what was the point of making Clay and water if they have to be combined to make a new element.

    (Boxmein said: "Combining elements should not be a reason to add one". But TPT adding clay dust because it would combine with water to make paste)

     

    Therefore i think that combining a lot of factors togather will make a new element which would have many uses because it can do so many things

     I meant, combining elements such as "Metal + SHLD element would be useful in infinitely expanding shelters"

    @tavninder: agreed. While plastics might have some unique uses, it would be mostly a novelty element and probably be used as a shortcut to make things that would otherwise require the use of multiple elements, thus reducing creativity and hindering ingenuity.

    you can not make someone more or less creative by adding or taking away elements. i agree that it could be used as a short cut but if you don't want to use that short cut then you still have all the alternetive elements.
