MGNT - Magnet. Attracts things like BRMT, BREL, and FRFL.

FRFL - Ferro-fluid. Conducts electricity better than other fluids. Attracted to MGNT. Boils into WATR and BRMT.

Magnets will not be implemented because there is already too many "maps" on powder toy already: Air, Ambient heat, Newtonian gravity etc. Magnets are pretty much useless anyway, you can use GPMP or FRAY for attracting materials already.

does not contain all the rejected elements but it DOES contain magnet.For ferro fluid give some uses.

Guys, you need to think...um...inside the box. You don't need a whole new graphics layer for magnetism. Just keep the magnetics inside the element code using normal interactions. As for fluid magnet...would be useful if you had magnet wire to generate electricity with it. (would spark when liquid magnet flows past it)

To discuss this topic more easily, it would be useful to know how these maps work.

I honestly love the idea of Ferro-Fluid. But I can't think of anything I would use it for. Maybe as a sub for Mercury because it wouldn't change its volume due to heat. But still a really nice thought.

MGNT - REPL set to work on only metal bits :P

And don't make ferro-fluid conductive, that could ruin it's uses.
