Or you can do it with ptnm as a catalyst.

I think the mechanic I suggested in this thread is better.

How about mixing with something a a catalyst?

EDIT:Sorry,I posted multiple times,pls remove it.

Just saying, every other element like SNOW, ICE, LAVA, PLSM (for some elements), they turn into their ctype. I think PSTE should be the same.

This is just like how if you melt SAND, you get LAVA(GLAS) which turns into GLAS, so PSTE+SAND could be PSTE(CNCT)

That does make sense.

After paying closer attention to your comment, I now realize your idea is and it does not make sense. PSTE is only meant to turn into rock-based elements, like BRCK or CNCT; use RSST or RSSS instead.

Hunter1, then how do you make pste which turns into sand?

You don't; the idea is to make PSTE be able to turn into CNCT, not SAND. The SAND has to be mixed in to make PSTE(CNCT) (or PSTE(SAND), depending on which direction we're going); for PSTE to turn into SAND, the SAND has to already be in there, and PSTE is a mixture of CLST (aka cement) and WATR, there's no SAND already mixed in, so it doesn't make sense. For a liquid that turns into it's ctype, use RSST.

I was responding to hunter1's commant.

MachineMan

You still got your answer.

jansuki

No, i believe it should also be extended to work with any element, if you set ctype to a specific element, the pste transforms into its ctype, this could be good in specific scenarios.
