Gallium or some other easily melting metal

    IF YOU ARE GOING TO IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAY AND JUST DENY IT BECAUSE IT'S AN ELEMENT SUGGESTION, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.

    I think there should be some kind of metal that melts at lower temperatures.

    I've heard that the metal Gallium can eventually melt even if you touch for long enough.

    There have been some times where I needed a metal that melted at low temperatures.

    I'm pretty sure I could use the console, but in my honest opinion, I feel that it is like cheating. Because you're bypassing the normal limits and such of Powder Toy.

    This would be pretty useful. Fuses have a wire that melts to break the circuit if there is too much current , which could danger your house.

    Gallium could be used in electronics that could break easily with too much spark at one time. It would melt to stop the flow of spark and keep the machine alive. Then you could easily fix it by attaching more gallium or turning on some PCLN.

    In its liquid form it could be used as a moving conductor, kind of like liquid rubidium, but with no chance of exploding.

    I think gallium melts into a liquid at around 90 degrees, to that's something to help you if you decide to add it.

    I know how some of you get with element suggestions, but please try and get with my ideas here. I know what I'm talking about, I am not stupid. What I do think is stupid is how I need to explain to multiple people what I already said 3 times because they refuse to read what other people say.

    I just honestly think there's some things that are missing from PT. Things that could make a lot more things possible.

    What about rubidium? Melts at 30-60°C? (can't remember which) Huh? Ring a bell?

    That would be cool, easily made.

    It can explode, which can break something you are building.

    It's called Rubidium. It's too similar to it to be added really. We need something that melts at like 200 degrees honestly, that turns into lava at variable temperatures depending on pressure.
