A strange element
-
If you use PROP to set a thing's type to a value above 186, it creates some weird magenta material without a name. It seems to have no melting point, deforms under pressure similar to GOO, can be infected by VIRS, and can't be duplicated by CLNE or CONV. It is dissolved by acid rapidly, and isn't flammable. I can't find anything about it on the wiki, but I think that it's a placeholder for modded elements with IDs above 186. You can't save the material in an online save or stamp. I think it can only be made on mobile.

It also seems to appear in jacob1's mod but not vanilla TPT

It's just nothing. All it's trying to do is to create something from the database, but there's just blank.

However, I feel like this forum page should still be up, jacob should fix this glitch, he hasn't fixed it since he said he would fix it at April 16th.

I guess this was a reminder to fix it. The fix should have been in the version of my mod I released a few days ago, but I forgot ):
It is there now: https://github.com/jacob1/The-Powder-Toy/commit/b0947dc1d3e3ba1988e8e2ea1dedde66f781702c
And yeah basically this pink element is just the default uninitialized element. It has no specific properties set. They are all probably the same. If you start defining Lua elements, then the slots will get taken. Until then, there's not supposed to be ways to create them. -
I tried it. It didn't deformed under pressure. When I poured some powder on it, it lifted upwards (similarly to wood when it affected with neutrons). Affected by mercury the same way.

Look at my post titled "Bugged element" or something like that for more information.
Plus, look at the save titled "What?".
