Modify SALT or create new element

    I have noticed that the element SALT has the same properties as table salt. I have also noticed that there are also different types of salts, but they are all conductive when either melted or dissolved.

     

    These two things I noticed are not really properties of the element SALT. I suggest that etiher the element SALT is modified to have some kind of combined property of all the different types of salts, or new elements are created expressing the unique properties of each salt. I also suggest that you add that it would be conductive when it is melted (I know that SALT already has the property of conducting when dissolved in SLTW)

    LAVA(SALT) conducting would be interesting. In every way mostly. It must however require playing with PROP_CONDUCTS in ways it was never meant to be played with, aka making it even technically feasible, as usually "conductivity" is attached to element type itself, not so much the state or the update cycle.

    It's not really about the uses... It about it being logically correct. Molten SALT would be more interesting. Tbh, I really am trying to add another use for SALT which would be it being conductive.

    so why not change salt?

    What makes you arrive to such a conclusion?

    Well, salt is practically useless except for in-game salt mines and fields.....

     I found this thread on the second page.

     That is why I posted this thread, to give it another use.
