    RBBR / Rubber

    Color (Hex): FF99FF

     

    Properties:

    Solid

    Melts at 409 degrees into either GEL, PSTE, MWAX, or a new, thick liquid similar to MWAX called LATX (Latex)

    Gets brittle and easily breakable the colder it is.

    Insulator

     

    Specialties:

       Bounces powder particles away from the surface.

       I do not mean a movable solid, i mean a bouncy material. For things to bounce off of. Yea...

       Gets less bouncy the colder it gets. the bounciest it could get would be at 400 degrees.

     

    Ideas:

       For bouncing, it could multiply the velocity of the particle by a certain ratio relative to the temperature of the RBBR. It would take this, and reverse the vertical momentum back towards the opposite way it was heading. This would apply for horizontal surfaces. For vertical surfaces, the same would be true for horizontal momentum. As i have no idea how to post pictures on here, i made a level showing it.

     

    USES:

    Ah, uses. Always the thing missing.

       -Mini pistons, with a single particle to auto-toggle things...?

       -Rube Goldberg Contraptions

       -Faster way to get particles around, if high temp "tubes" of RBBR were for transporting. (Kinda like spamming jump in a 2 block tunnel in minecraft)

       -Bunkers that can deflect particles like uranium and plutonium.

       -Insulator


    -As always, i hope you guys like the idea. I had another idea that i posted but jacob locked the thread for something about too messy coding. Fine by me, since i have no idea what is in the coding. I tried to use big words to make more sense up there, i doubt it worked. But anyways, leave what you feel in the voting, and leave your thought down there in the box at the bottom of the screen. I know you are looking at it now.

    It should burn like coal if exposed to fire, and melt under just heat.

    cool but happy i won't code it

    @Cyberdragon, i know you make mods. How hard would it be to code something like this?

     it should insulate electricity too

    also

    it should just reverse all velocity

    example

    DUST with VY 1

    would get DUST with VY -1

    Wouldnt that make the particle go tnhe exact way it came from?

     yes, shouldn't it do that?

    EDIT:just did not read what it was meant to

    Should the bounced off particles follow the law of reflection like PHOT does? Or to they just get a random heading?

    Exactly! I didnt know PHOT had a complex coding like that, but theres no reason it couldn't be modified for this! Although, the RBBR, instead of the particle, would need to make it bounce...

    RBBR? Does that mean rubber by chance?
