    In v50.6, mercury is added.
    Mercury dissolves to form amalgams with many metals except iron, tantalum, tungsten and platinum. (from wikipedia)
    In powder toy, i put METAL into MERCURY and found that METAL doesn't dissolve in Mercury.
    I think they should change this.

    That change all depends on if any saves would be broken by this...

    Mercury boils at 356.73C and freezes at -38.83C.
    Mercury reacts with oxygen to form HgO at high temperatures.

    I am worried that such changes may break saves.

    This isnt the realistic toy. If you want realism, make a mod out of it. Also, I have in my mod a solid form and a vapor form of mercury. the temp where it changes its state isnt realistic but the state change its self is. another thing, saves would be broken for sure by the way mercury reacts in real life.

    Why such changes may break saves?

    Because some pre-existing saves require mercury NOT to do such things.

    Am I the only one who is sick of people using that as an excuse to block ideas?
