Lava Density

    Ccould different lavas have different densities?

    i.e TTAN lava is denser than PTCT lava

    What do you guys think of this idea?

    -Potential uses: Refineries, (I need more ideas)

     Great idea, I vote up. Unlocking electronics would be another good example of a use. By putting in a molten mixture of different metals and non metals and then cooling it after differentiation, you could activate certain wires that are arranged above each other.

    true. I like it.

    Should be an option though, currently a lot of terrain textures are made by mixing different lava ctypes together.

    it's a bit of a small change to make it an entire option. I suggest it is made a component for the "realistic" setting supposedly being worked on.

    Yes very interesting for different electronics and system setups that may require density like this.

    +1 for the idea, I had thought something like this might be a cool feature a while ago, but this sums it up very good.

    (Aka part of a new feature that may be called "realistic setting" features like therocketeer pointed out. I think other similar features may be combined as soon as they are made and perhaps put in a section something like this.)

    PURE GENIUS.  But what happenes if you turn lavas ctype to something unrealistic like STKM, what density should they have?

    unknowns could just have the lightest density.
