Evaporation of elements

In powder toy if you for example heat iron to 9000 degrees Celsius it only melts, no matter how hot it becomes. However, in reality, if you heated iron to that temperature...it would turn into clouds of vapourized iron! I think if this feature was added, powder toy would be way more like in real life.

There was a mod that allowed gas metal, it's old. I's worse than you think, it makes stuff harder to destroy and messes up stuff, just don't.

New aggregate states are kind of defined in a pretty terrible way. There has to be a new element for every state, or you'll end up doing tricks like setting velocities to zero in the update function, to make it seem like a solid. (see EXOT).
Meaning, METG has to be another element, and since LAVA is such a catch-all element, one needs to add it to LAVA's update function to manually transition. The usual kind (HighTemperatureTransition) doesn't consider LAVA's ctype when transitioning, so it can't be used.
...Other than that, it's just throwing together some GAS code and METL code and you'd be done.Edited once by boxmein. Last: 13th Nov 2014 -
You could but would you really want VAPR floating off blocking explosions when you're nuking a city?

Yes, I made 3 elements for that, which is what boxmein was saying.
A gas form of LAVA would be fairly simple to code (it can just work like all the other elements that keep what it's supposed to turn back into in ctype), but that would confuse a lot of people and break a ton of saves, and generally not be very useful.
