Element Suggestion: Platinum and Liquid Platinum

    Platinum (PLTM)
    -Burns when ignited @ > 1000C
    -PLTM > LPTM @ 2000C
    -Conducts electricity twice the speed of metal

    Liquid Platinum (LPTM)
    -LPTM > PLTM/PLDM @ 1500C, PLDM if it's been cooled rapidly (-500C within 10 seconds)
    -LPTM + NEUT > LAVA
    -Same speed of conductivity as water, but does not inherit the buffer (limit on spark/second)

    Palladium (PLDM)
    -PLDM > LPTM @ 2000C
    -Absorbs a set amount of particles per 100C increase. Spark releases particles.

    EDIT: Ask if you don't understand the syntax, I just like to keep things short.

    Yes, but the thread was locked for some unknown reason, so I remade it.

    spark speed faster than metal is not likely to happen. now don't go "but what about INST???" because that works completely different. i'm not saying it is impossible, but it would require a new spark handling(which would have a 'speed' setting for conductivity). This would be cool, but not right now.

    All right.

    Platinum conducts electricity at a normal pace.

    Lol.

    I think it could end up being very useful.

    It would be in radioactive right ?

    Don't really see how any part of it is radioactive. Probably solids/liquids, maybe electronics.

    Wood burns when ignited too, that doesn't mean it's radioactive.

    This is GameslayerX2's original post.
    GameslayerX2:
    Platinum PLTN (Solid)

    Burns slowly when ignited above 1000C
    Melts at 2000C into LTPN (Liquid Platinum)
    Conducts electricity twice as fast as METL
    Sparks increase the temperature by 100C each

    Liquid Platinum LPTN (Liquid)

    Solidifies at 1500C into PLTN or PLDM, depending on which it touches first, else it will stay LPTN
    NEUT turns it into LAVA
    As conductive as WATR

    Palladium PLDM (Solid)

    Melts at 2000C into LPTN
    Similar to SPNG. Absorbs one particle per 200C increase (-200 to 0:0, 0 to 200: 1, 200 to 400: 2 and so on, up to 1000C+ which will absorb 5)
    Can absorb Gases, Liquids and Powders
    NEUT turns it into PLTN

    >Platinum can be used extensively in circuitry to make timers because by heating then cooling platinum you will always get platinum back from liquid platinum, so long as there is platinum where you want it to be.

    >Liquid platinum cannot evaporate, so it can be used where a conductive liquid is needed in very hot places.

    >Platinum can be used as a heat generator, get the timing right and it will constantly produce large amounts of heat without melting.

    >Platinum can be used as a heat detector, as it can only burn above 1000C, so as long as there is a source of ignition.

    >Palladium can be used as a kind of particle limiter, let it absorb one particle, cool it and let that particle drop through and heat again.

    >Platinum can be used as a fuse. (both meanings intended, the thing you use to light explosives and the thing you put in plugs)

    >Palladium can be used like a controlled E-Hole, the hotter it gets the more it can hold.

    >Palladium and platinum can be used in conjunction, the platinum heats the palladium by 100C per spark, so the palladium absorbs one more particle per two sparks in an ideal world.

    i see no practicality
