    Thungsten is the metal used as filament in light bulbs. It has a higher density than lead and uranium. melts at around 3700 kelvin degrees and boil at 5825. It is the element number 74. It would be cool to have light bulbs and other lightning devices.

    Oh look, a light bulb made without W. COULD IT BE?

    I mean in real life. It is one of the most dense elements, with really high fusion temp and you know, what good is it to have so many types of wires when the less known, still one of the most used, isn't there. I want to have some high temperature, dense and logical metal for my burners series. It is used in wielding and rocket nozzles. It is also really strong asnd expands only little with temp variation.

    Listen, I love all these ideas of elements, but the developers really don't want this to become an element simulator. As much as we'd like it, they're not going to have a whole periodic table.

    I do like the idea of Tungsten or Wolfram or whatever though

    Uranium, plutonium, h2 and o2, all these are eklements, so delete them.

    He never said that none of them should be there hes just saying this isnt a physics simulator so it isnt going to have them all. If someone could think of a periodic table element that actually has a use then thats fine. Like neon gas would be useless but magnesium on the other hand would be good.

    and my fluorine is useful when i finish it

    neon gas could be useful - what if it expanded into photons when charged?

    i'd like to see potassium too... do you know what happens when a ball of it fall into a tub of water? - the Mythbusters did it - it went BOOM! - cracked the tub in half

    but, then again... rubidium does exactly that - so that would have no point.... hence we must think of something more generic, with a distinct application which isn't covered by any existing materials.... in such a case, i'd suggest that some form of alkaly would generate heat, but NOT blow up when in contact with water

    which is something unique....

    having elements just for the sake of it is pointless... if something else already does whatever you're suggesting, you could just use that instead, no?
