Element Suggestion i guess: Indium(INDM)

    Hello fellow people of which are observing this thread. I present an element suggestion for Indium(INDM). Hex colour 0xFFDDDDDD. Well i'll give you some properties, expand if you wish, but here's my view of the element. 1: Indium would be malleable, like goo, but it doesn't disappear and ceases movement 60 frames after the local pressure stops exceeding +0.80, reflecting it's softness. 2:It would conduct based on temperature. At or above 80°C it cannot conduct. Below 80°C it conducts at the same speed as water. Below -44°C it conducts at normal speed, below -154°C it conducts at gold's speed, and below -269.74°C it would instantly conduct, like INST, since it can superconduct. 3: Due to it's high density(7.31 g/cm3) it would reflect/absorb 80% of neutrons, and would drastically slow down any that made it through. Protons would be slightly slowed down by it, and would resume their normal speed upon leaving the Indium. Extras: Indium will not melt, instead will burn in a violet flame above 156.6°C, which can be a seperate hidden element, Indium Flame(IFLM, violet, of course), which itself burns at 288°C. Fire and Indium Flame can both ignite Indium as well. It can block negative pressure, reflecting usage as a vacuum seal IRL. It can conduct heat slightly better than most metals as well. THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

    Cool but weak :(

    Not a building material, it's a superconductor and possible goo replacement. not that i'm saying it will replace goo, it could be used in place of goo and goo could be used in place of it in certain circumstances. It is the softest non-alkali/alkaline earth metal, after all

    ARAY/FILT "wires" are faster conductors than INST wires.

    i'm sorry, did i ask for it to be faster than INST?

     No need for sarcasm.  I was just saying that if you wanted to make it most like a superconductor, you could have it conduct at the same speed as ARAY/FILT, which is the fastest wire in tpt.  It was just some harmless constuctive critisism, every tpt user gives each other some.

    ok sure, then, but ARAY/FILT work as the fastest wire primarily because ARAY projects a particle beam instantly.
