Element idea:Apsorbent
-
Apsorbent (ABSB)is an orangish solid. It sucks up all liquids and gases,including virus(and cures it). At the temperature of 2500 Celsius all liquids and gases will escape,but will remain at its starting temperature and apsorbent will become unable to suck up(can become able again after cooling)and will change color to pink. Finally,at 3000 Celsius it will melt into lava that can be turned again into absorbent by cooling.However,it only changes temperature from objects that it cannot suck.
It is unflammable,acid is just sucked,and also receive less damage with BOMB,THDR,SING and DEST,and resistant against DMG and GBMB. Also,when cooled above -250 Celsius,it will turn blue,will be unable of sucking liquids(but also liquids will be unable to escape)and will turn into the ,,freeze machine"(automatically turns temperarure to -273.15 Celsius and freeze everything that is nearby. This also can be reversed by heating again. Absorbent is unbreakable by pressure,but luquids will escape at the pressure bigger than 25 or lesser than -25.
What do you think?Would it be any useful?Please comment!

This does way too many things. A lot of the properties it has ruin the point.
It's an ok suggestion to say we should have an element like SPNG but for other liquids and gases. But this suggestion has too many other things wrong.
Elements that are "immune" to virs / bomb / sing / dest are probably not going to be added. These elements are meant to destroy everything. There is no defense against them. I don't want every bunker to have to include ABSB just because it resists all the OP elements that are meant to be OP.
I also think it doesn't make sense for an element like this to react to temperature. If it's meant to absorb things, it should do that job well. It needs to be able to absorb LN2 and PLSM without losing its ability to absorb, or melting.
This post is just meant to point out problems with the suggestion. I'm not saying that without those problems, I would add it. -
I used "immune" in my post because you said VIRS was immune, but I did see that the others are only resistant, not immune. But that doesn't help, I don't want resistance either unless it logically makes sense. And I see no justification for an element like this to be so powerful, when instead it could just have the simple property of absorbing stuff.

Instead of making a completely new element, we can just modify the existing element like STOR. It's already very close to the suggestion. However, it must be allowed to store multiple parts instead of "one for one"

"including virus(and cures it)" SOAP does that.
"At the temperature of 2500 Celsius all liquids and gases will escape," "It sucks up all liquids and gases" That Seens hard to code when it comes the highest number of pixels to me.
"but luquids will escape at the pressure bigger than 25 or lesser than -25." Sounds like CLNE, but it only does on pressure (More than 25 or less than -25)
"and will turn into the ,,freeze machine"(automatically turns temperarure to -273.15 Celsius and freeze everything that is nearby." Now that's where confusion at Rejected Elements starts to kick in
This new element idea is just sounds useless.

maybe spng that can absorb (almost) anything? maybe thats what youre asking
