Clay Dust (CLST) should be able to combine with OIL to make GEL.

Cacophony

Uses? Why should it be implemented?

Catelite

o.o Interesting, but similarly, no idea what the resulting... I guess @.@ Is hard to picture I guess. Clay dust was invented as a concrete substitute, so I don't really see why not.

What would be more awesome is if Goo could be cooked to extract oil and clay dust somehow.

Ah! Brilliant idea.

I got the whole CLST + OIL = GEL thing from reading about corn starch, and how it makes the Non-Newtonian fluid "Oobleck" when mixed with water and a gel insulator when combined with oil. CLST has the same basic properties as corn starch.

If you mold cornstarch and water then let it dry...could you bake it into clay? (or does it just turn back to cornstarch?) You could make a stable PSTS by mixing it with GEL and heating it.

Ah, I see. You mean that stuff named after that one Dr.Seuss book? But since Oobleck is a colloid, shouldn't it turn into Paste? Just asking.

Oil is thicker. It could form gel.

And yes, CLST + WATR = PSTE, but I also want to see CLST + OIL = GEL.

would break saves(you can add a compatibility check)

Its a bit useless but could have some interesting effects. I like the idea of having 2 elements in functionally the space of one. You would need some way to turn it back though. Negative pressure maybe, or high heat?

JMBuilder

Yeah. Boiling it off would work.
