Checking absorbed energy of LITH

    Hiya all.

    I've been wondering if there is a way to check the absorbed energy of a particle of LITH. I theorized this could be done with DTEC, but nope.

    My reason for wanting this is so that I can make a "smart" micro battery. In other words, it will charge when the absorbed energy is below 95 and then will discharge until it is empty. 

    If anyone can help with this, please let me know!

     

    Thanks.

    LITH's charge is stored in ctype.  Besides puting your cursor over it while in debug mode, all you can do is make a sign that gauges the ctype of the element it's pointer is touching; unfortunately such a sign would only display the ctype as an element name and you'll have to use a console command to find the id number that matches the element.

    It would be nice if they had a ctype detector for that reason (and to maybe screw around with non-lith stuff

    @Supercrafter A ctype sorter would be nice as well. That way you could sort molten elements.

    It's proven that elements checking for ctype is possible in tpt, as indicated by the fact that ARAY, CRAY, and DRAY check not only for SPRK, but for the ctype of said SPRK and behave differently according to the SPRK's ctype.
