Aluminum/Iron/Rust/thermite
-
iron rusting should make Rust, instead of broken metal (bmtl should possibly be replaced by rust or iron oxide)
aluminum = acid resistant and cools rapidly, even when really hot
it breaks like bmtl but it takes MUCH more pressure to shatter it.
once broken, it is aluminum powder.
aluminum powder + iron oxide (rust) = thermite.i think this should be implemented as it would greatly improve powdertoy in my opinion.
thanks.

i clearly explained everything.
rust should replace broken metal which comes from breaking the breakable metal or rusting the iron, it should be more red, and mix with aluminum powder to make thermite.
rusting iron should make rust instead the same as brmt and its replacement
mixing them is like this + this = mix of that = thermite
i don't know how clear i can be, i honestly feel so unsure if you ever played the game or not.
peace alright

You can make thermite already by the means of mixing BRMT and BREL at temperatures >250°c, BREL simulating aluminium, and BRMT iron oxide. I'm not particularly interested in adding a new element for the sake of realism. Powder toy simulates it's own universe. There is no need for another metallic powder that will ultimately be the same as BRMT anyway. The only difference is it's name. -
to summarize in a short list
saltwater contact on iron breaks it down into bmtl (broken metal) (which has been changed to rust)
rust works the same as broken metal but looks more rusty in color
aluminum is added, it is breakable like breakable metl (bmtl) but stronger (and can replace it if you want)
mixing broken aluminum + iron = thermite.
thats it.
--------------------------
i think brel is completely useless, it can't be destroyed easily and doesn't do anything but electrocute stuff like broken metal does anyway.
who mixes broken electronics and broken metal to make thermite!?
i know this game's goal isn't to be 100% realistic but this totally cuts the cheesecake
i think my idea kicks moose butt and should be implemented or at least talked about and considered by many, because the current way is simply unjust.

The fact that it makes thermite gives it a use. And actually, it does have some interesting properties. You just haven't discovered them. -
please share. but just because it can make thermite doesn't mean its useful, when a clearly more simple and realistic way can be used to make thermite while also improving the game.
what iron turns into broken metal? what thermite is made at high temerature! in real life thermite is made by simply mixing two powders, didn't anyone EVER go to science class?
/frustration
please share though lol

Rust is technically a broken metal, especially when it decays and crumbles away. And broken metal isn't "specific". So it's perfectly legitimate in terms of logic. -
alright agreed, but if anything, they could use the logic: broken metal = good enough to be rust
+aluminum powder = thermite, and take the thermite making ability away from the brel because it doesn't feel right, you know?
hmmm
umm
anyways powdertoy needs the alum because all the metals are not very acid resistant, and that way they would work it in easily.
alum would be like bmtl but much more difficult to break, more than qrtz, and it would cool rapidly compared to other metals.
that would be so cool, i would make a TTAN ALUM alloy = adamantis metal resistant to pressure/acid/heat/shoop da whoop
it would be really good to have in the game

It would be neat if broken metal was more like rust. But I'm not sure how tpt would do this.
Changes for BREL are too late now, because it is now quite an old element, and many saves rely on the properties it has. So any changes would break saves.
