New Element: DIRT
-
Idea is to add a new element/tool: DIRT with RGB hex color #8b4513 paired with a few colored with hex color #778899
Purpose for use:
Decoration purposes and for use with plant and wood. It would be used like a normal weight powder lighter than stone or concrete but heavier than dust or gunpowder.

This is exactly what I mean and I completely agree with this...
Thank you Xetalim.
What I mean by for use with plant and wood is that if you were to put some plant in it it would grow into the shape of a tree with wood or something like that.
also with plant it could be an alternate way to grow because of nutrients in your everyday dirt.
I also like the idea of when you mix clay with it the clay doesn't go into a stacking formation. Instead its properties would be that of a normal powder.

With that post i meant this is suggested a lot of times and rejected a lot of times.
I posted that to say no. -
"Decoration purposes and for use with plant and wood."
That's such a common phrase. Use deco tool.
And I think you might want to add some more information about this element you are suggesting, such as it's melting point, reactions to different elements, conducts or not, etc.
Only posting the use and color is just not enought
sorry for my english -
Incredy, yeah you're right but that's why I put the link. I think those conditions are fine.
and xetalim, why was it rejected?
I would like it to just have the same properties of normal everyday dirt. Obiously it would not conduct SPRK

It was probably rejected because it'd have to do something absolutely fantastic, mundane elements aren't very attractive to modders unless they're just making what people tell them to.
I could totally see DIRT being a thing if it somehow killed fusion, could explode violently in bombs in a shrapnel fashion, could never melt but still have some sort of variable property that turns it into weird glass, etc. -

Weird glass. Now that's a thought. Perhaps a new dual set of reactive "dirt/gravel" Elements. -
thank you for at least showing a little support. After all that is one of the main reason why I put some new ideas up for debate... for the modders to be able to sum up all the ideas added on and make it into an element that people could actually use.
I do encourage ALL viewers to comment on what they think the properties should be and why or why not it should be an element.
