Good idea, but there should be some kind of energy to acquire this. I guess cold fusion could be possibly made available via protons. So maybe about just at least 200 celsius in temperature and some pressure would be needed to achieve this effect?
ok so i was thinking about this whole idea while i was reading through this thread and what i am thinking is when you and a proton to a neutron you get random elements based on temp value/how many of each one you have like so many protons and neutrons for said element like on the periodic table (e.g. 1 proton 0 neutrons for helium) but you have to be at etemly high pressure for the reaction to occur
( im only 16 so dont judge i mean i think its an awsome idea)
You should really add to the first post the idea of protons being able to pass though objects, Its pretty useful and gives it a unique edge.
Having this type of reaction is difficult, as it is difficult to keep energy particles together (depending on the code, checking for groups of energy particles is cpu intensive) and the periodic table is incomplete in the powder toy. A more likely outcome is that the "periodic table" is relaced with the tpt table (1 is dust etc), and that would give random seeming mutations of elements. But do we want randomness? I don't particularly-
what i mean is, say you have for example you an element say lead for example and you want to make gold all you have to do is add one proton to lead, where as if you added a neutron to gold you would get lead (Ect...). I didn't mean not haveing them check the surounding area for protons and neutrons to make said element. the way (i read the post again and it does look like that) you ment it would cause way to much lag for my or anyone else's likeing.
Maybe it is. It probably is. It is. Maybe. Hopefully. it should.
Yes. Lag must be avoided at all cost!
actually, If you add a neutron to gold you'll get a gold isotope.
if you're talking about TPT, than this would be a nuisance, as having a bunch of protons and neutrons on the screen would make elements spazz and turn into a bunch of different substances, and making anything using protons or neutrons would be close to impossible.
its better not to have protons change elements into other elements.
