New Elements & Ideas

    New category: Chemicals Icon: One of those test tubes bubbling.
    Iodine (below) can go here.

    Powered Attractor- PTRC Colour: Green Category: Force
    Attracts particles when sparked with PSCN. The hotter it is the bigger attraction radius it has. Use NSCN to turn it off.

    Iodine-IDNE Colour: Purpley-Black Category: Chemicals
    When heated emits a purple gas, Melts at 137 degrees. Dissolves in water.

    What about a display that changes the tags for the elements? So fire's background would be more, arty instead of RED.
    And water would have different shades of blue in it instead of just BLUE.

    Thanks

    I think the last catigory slot was used up when the force catigory was added... I think. Although I like the idea of a chemical section.

    ...also, it is a requirement that you provide uses for the elements you have suggested. This gives them a better chance of them being added.

    I am not sure about the last one though... I'll wait for someone with knowledge about that stuff to post.

    I find the last one a little... Redundant...

    What would the purple gas be called? And what would be it's properties? Would the Iodine become the gas, or emit it at a slower rate? If so, what ratio of gas per particle?

    Define the gas that would be emmited from iodine. Would that be a new element? Also please give uses for these elements.

    Category:Chemicals. [link] Every TPT element is a chemical substance.

    Attractor: Shouldn't FRAY/REPL also pull in particles depending on temp, just as its description says?

    Also, what would Iodine be useful for? Sure it dissolves in water and boils to purple gas, but what are the uses? :(

    Element tags should be programmatically determined from the element's colour and the text imprinted on it, not as an image, though images would serve their purposes well but then again they'll require rectangles and texture application and ... But that's what the program already does? Maybe storing them as images won't increase the filesize that much.

    Some uses for Iodine could be heals STKM and STK2, Iodine water would turn into steam at a higher temperature, it could kill some forms of life.

    PLNT already heals STKM and STK2.
    LIFE is already killed by most elements due to their ability to block the patterns..

    Wouldn't it be useful to have a liquid and a gas that could do it too instead of just PLNT?

    Hm..
    I could see some uses, but those aren't enough reasons to add elements. Plus, the demand seems to be slow at the moment.
    "Wouldn't it be useful to have a liquid and a gas battery?"
    For future reference, I'll add an #Iodine tag here for people to find this thread easily.
