Element doing nothing & more

    I tried to make a new element DCLD that is a copy of WTRV and sticks together and is colored white.

    It will not let me place it. Every time I click the element and try to place it, it keeps the space I click on as empty.

     

    local bug3 = elements.allocate("MOD", "DCLD")
    elements.element(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, elements.element(elements.DEFAULT_PT_WTRV))
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Name", "DCLD")
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Description", "Dry cloud - Looks cool.")
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Colour", 0x00FFFFFF)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "MenuSection", 6)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Loss", 0.1)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "AirLoss", 0.3)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Advection", 1)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Diffusion", 0.3)
    elements.property(elements.MOD_PT_DCLD, "Temperature", 273.15)

     

    Is there just a cap of elements that can be in the game?

    I am making a modpack full of elements already.

     

    I also need help making a diamond-like powder. I tried using eqve, but DEFAULT_PT_EQVE didn't work.

    and could someone explain to me how to make a powder that has a set temperature and will not change from other elements around it?

     

    What is the weight of ANAR, or what property makes gravity opposite?

    255. That's because the game engine uses byte values, as far as I know.

    Hm, that's a logical step.
