Since GEL Absorbs water, it should take water from any element that is created in conjuction with another element and water.
Example: If Gelcomes in contact with paste, the paste schould turn into clay dust, and the TMP of the GEL would increase by 1.
Gel Should also leave behind any other elements in the water.
Example: With salt water, the Gel should absorb the water portion and leave behind one particle of salt.
For Carbonated water, It should absorb the water portin and leave behind the particle of CO2 intead of absorbing it.
GEL for whatever reason absorbs all forms of water without leaving behind the elements used in conjunction to created them which is a bit of an issue.
These suggestions allow for the creation of water filters, and also fix an oversight in gels behaviour as well as give it an legitimate use.
GEL otherwise is really an waste of element. The concept is cool however it needs some more substance aswell.
Jacob1 has said he will attempt to add these recommended changes to GEL In his mod. Please check it out to try these once they are done.
A bump is fine. I personally think this is a great idea :D
Which Things? If you mean salt water, And carbonated water, Yes, as long as they leave behind the element used in conjunction with them. That being CO2 and Salt.
