[Suggestion] Changing the usage of PBI, and adding a properly high-tier plastic #3611

Closed NeroOneTrueKing closed 4 years ago

NeroOneTrueKing commented 6 years ago

Preface: 0lafe has made it known that he doesn't like current PBI as a high-tier plastic.

PBI is made in GTNH similar to how it is made in real life, which is awesome. However, that means that it is made with low- and mid-tier ingredients and just has high eu/t costs, and it isn't a good fit for being a ZPM+ tier plastic. For that reason, PBI should be a mid-tier plastic, same as PTFE, and usable as an alternative to PTFE. It's a lot more complicated to make (compared to PTFE), but because it doesn't need Fluorine, it has a niche. Think kindof like Styrene-Butadiene Rubber and Silicon Rubber.

At high tiers, stuff starts to resemble sci-fi. A plastic made with ingredients like molten naquadah, molten neutronium, and uum should make have a catchy name like Plasteel or Naqtec. Fictional ingredients in, fictional products out, and the processing can be as creative as possible.

What about adding a new fictional material like "Uridium" (Symbol Ud would be nice). You could Fusion Reactor from 2xTritanium and 1xRadon and has therefore a atomic nuber of 168. (I choosed 168 so that it is part of the carbon group) It can then be used to build some polymeres, similar to carbon.

Perhaps use PBI for space suits and as an alternative material for hazmat suits?

Now is PBI IV (7680 eu/t). If this is to high would EV ok ?

If that was chem reacted with stuff or cracked or something, gonna need a bunch of mid stage products for it though considering there's none for this yet
