Element: Carbon

    Carbon

    State: Powder

    Hex Color: ob5a5a

     

    Uses: When added to a molten element such as METL, TTAN, or TUGN carbon would increase the melting point and/or the breaking point of that element.

    It would dissolve into the molten material much like EXOT in molten TTAN.

     

      

    When carbon interacts with a molten element, it creates "aloy" for the briefest second, before renaming it after the element it came from. When a user looks at an aloy created with carbon, it would display the name qrtz, ttan ect... Whilst the user would see something else the CPU would see the element aloy, which would be an element with variable melting and breaking points. 

    This would allow CRBN to be added using existing features without the need for another check to be added to the game.

     

     

    -Carbon would allow users to customise existing elements to feel like they are making something new.

    - Carbon would simulate alloying in real life. (steel and tungsten are sometimes both made a solid solution with carbon)

    - This suggestion would not break saves.

     Great Job. All what we need to know is its properties.

    Here is some extra info:

    When exposed to high pressure (40)  and temperature(3600 C) , It makes Diamond (DMND).

    Carbon is mostly in the form of a solid. When pressure is applied without extra temperature, it becomes powder.

    Carbon should have "radius" to make metals around it have a higher melting point? Like how TPT calculates air and gravity.

     

    Other than that, it's not bad.

    These are good ideas I think, but the radius may defeat the purpose. Carbon is meant to simulate alloy with elements. Unless you mean that 1 particle of carbon would affect 8 particles around it when added to the molten matrix.

    Also, if carbon was dropped into molten IRON, shouldn't it make METL or BMTL?

    Yes,it should make METL.

    @Oats (View Post)

    Yes , I did mean that 1 particle of Carbon can affect 8 particles around it when added to the molten matrix.

    Ill add that putting it into iron would create METL.

     Good. I actually have the equation for the increase in ultimate tensile strength with the increase of filler in an alloy of metals.

     OFF Topic:

    You spelt Equation with an 's' instead of a 't'.

    On topic:

    Great news. Now that we have the equation for the increase in ultimate tensile strength with the increase of filler in an alloy of metals , there is only three things to be done:

    1- We need to make sure the equation works effectively without causing any glitches. 

    2- We must speak with the people who decide what updates are to be made in the next versions and gain their approval.

    3- We will publish the Wikipedia page for Carbon (CRBN).

    Can we just lop this in with coal? Which is essentially raw carbon? o_o;

     Not really. Coal also Contains:

    Hydrogen,Oxygen , Nitrogen and Sulphur (Nitrogen and Sulphur is not in the game.)
