New Elements

*** ADD SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW ELEMENTS HERE ***
Hey Simon, I have a few ideas for new elements that would be awesome.
Sand - I'm not too sure what this would do, but this is a sand game so it would make perfect sense to have just for the sake.
Dirt - Can help plants grow, turns into mud when watered heaps.
Those two elements would be worthy elements. Now even if these elements do not react with much, it does not matter, as it makes the game more advanced.
Fellow Powder Toyers, post suggestions as to what elements you want to have as I'm sure I have missed out on many great ideas for elements! -
Are we allowed to post our own ideas here, too?
If we are, then here are mine. I've got these in the Suggestions section of the website but I think there's a greater chance of feedback on the forums:
"I have a few elemental suggestions:
1. Oxygen. The air provided in the game clearly has enough oxygen for combustibility but with added oxygen, fires might be sustained for longer and spread more easily. Maybe this could be a gas at room temperature and soluble in water at lower temperatures.
2. Nitrogen. The anti-oxygen, meaning it could hamper fires and, in a closed space, completely prevent combustion at all. This could also be a gas at RT and soluble in water. And, as a side-suggestion, maybe Nitrogen + Oxygen + Pressure -> Smog. Smog could be very efficient at preventing heat transfer, like foam, and could bounce photons back off at non-oblique angles.
3. Mercury. Heavy, dense liquid at RT with high melting and boiling temperatures. Could reflect neutrons and photons just like walls do now and be available in a solid form at a low temperature. Perhaps it could also conduct electricity like real-life mercury and conduct heat better than water.
4. Neon. Not much use, but gas at RT, maybe. Also, it would not combust or explode, only disappear, releasing photons, when electrocuted."
Rest of the details up to Simon to decide on if he likes and left unknown for sake of discussion :) -
Gravity would require huuuuuuuge amounts of coding though.
Another idea is lasers though. You could focus photons into laser beams which bounce off metals and burn through things like wood and plant. -
SirNancy:You can already build a photon gun but it lacks focus and is unreliable in heating
I find it hard to make a photon gun.SirNancy:you should be able to fucus photons through glass.
Glass would be a great new "element" to add. Glass could break fairly easily, but it is still stable and useful. Maybe you could brand it as a much weaker Diamond.
