Possible (solids) additions

    I'm back with more ideas! 

     

    Imagine adding in Aluminum. Now as it is, alone, it's a bullding material. As the game is in celsius, Aluminum melts at around 660.30 degrees. Very low melting point. I don't know what the pressure system in TPT is, possibly newtons, so possibly around 150 will the Aluminum become brittle. At colder temperatures, unlike quartz, -170 celcius, Aluminum gets tougher and more elastic. Once the Aluminum becomes a powder, it can be mixed with oxodized iron, rust, and turn into thermite. Aluminum powder can be a secret material, only optional as a choice in the search tab. Imagine user created thermite reactors with Aluminum as an option. The 4 digit abbreviation is ALUM. 

     

    The other (solid) material is Magnesium. By itsel, Magnesium melts around 650 to 1020 degrees celsius. When mixed with Nitogen, it becomes Magnesium Nitrade, which can be used in the makings of more resistant Ceramics. Ceramics. This powder decays around 800 degrees celsius. Magnesium will also mix with Aluminum and make a tougher material for building. Magnesium will also mix with Oxygen to form Magnesium Oxide, which is a great insulator. The four digit abbreviation for Magnesium would be MGNM. 

     

    And just as a side note, can you make it so that the podwer concrete can mix with water and form cement? It'd be an interesting addition and would help with people making cities.

     Thank God! someone who didn't suggest MGNM to be a super magnet. Colors of the elements?

     Aluminum would be a sleek silver. Kind of chromish. 

     

    Magnesium would be silver as well, but with traces of black to make it a tad bit dark. Here, I'll write the colour codes. 

     

    Aluminum (ALUM) = #BCC6CC or #D1D0CE or #C0C0C0

    Magnesium (MGNM) = #726E6D or #625D5D or #4C4646

    Magnesium Nitride (MGND) = #347235 or #254117 or #808000

    Magnesium Oxide (MGOD) = #E5E4E2 or #FFFFFF or #F0FFFF

    Wet Cement (WCMT) = #6D6968 or #666362 or #5C5858

    Dry Cement (DCMT) = #B6B6B4 or #FDEEF4 or #FCDFFF

     

    Talk about a lot of options, but that's better than giving one that many can disagree on.

    Want a LUA script with that stuff? :P

    And what nitrogen would magnesium react with? LN2?

     They're not meant to be links. Type them up, hashtag included, in a new tab. Voila, colours display.

     If it's the only available option, then yes.

    ..Can we add elements that aren't -literal- elements? We don't need to adhere to the table of periodic elements to add new things to the game.

    Also, I made CLST as a replacement for 'CNCT and WATR makes BRCK' sort of deal. It serves the same function; too many people complained about their fake CNCT dams 'melting' when I added something for building concrete with it.

    I'm making a mod with the requested elements

     That's actually unexpected. I thank you for taking the time with doing something like that. Can you tell me which colour option you choose for each addition?
