    [PFLT]: Particle Filter

     

    Particle Filter - A solid that is permeable to a specific particle (gas, powder, liquid or energy) specified by it's ctype.

     

    Color - White with grey dots (Resembles filter paper used in chemistry labs)

    Temperature extremes: Burns at 2000 degrees C

    Pressure Extremes: Breaks at +120.5 Pressure and -85 Pressure into DUST

    Minorly displaces the particle by a pixel or two depending on the thickness

    Thickness required to seperate particles is 2 pixels

     

    This element could have many uses:

    1. Could be used to seperate SALT from SLTW for whatever purpose

    2. Could be used to seperate OXYG and HYGN for hydrogen fuel cell engines

    3. Could be used to seperate FIRE and SMKE for smoke machines

    4. Could be used to seperate WTRV and WATR for Power Plants

    We already have gas/powder/liquid/energy specific walls, this would... not add much more than we can already do (except slightly smaller, destroyable).  Specific elements can be deleted/accepted with VOID/STOR respectively.

    But I mean if you have two particles you want to seperate that happen to be the same state but serve a different purpose in the machine. I guess situation 4 wasn't the best one because that's easily solved with semi-permeable walls, I wasn't thinking my bad, I was just looking for quick examples that I could say in one sentence.

    You could use state-different elements to separate by state, but for like DUST and COAL mixed together, COAL sinks while DUST floats so you could filter out coal from the bottom.

    STOR + PIPE achives this easily.
