[Suggestion] custom elements #1269

Open idcppl opened 3 years ago

idcppl commented 3 years ago

Allow the creation of custom elements. There no big reason this should be implemented. Just allows for better balance based on durations and what else the mass is used for. It also nice to see proper chemical formulas.

This is issue created for conversing if it should be implemented or not.

Thank you for creating this suggestion. This is really big topic which should be properly discussed. By opening Element system we can provide quite few possibilities to addon and modpack creators. From current implementation in https://github.com/GregTechCE/GregTech/blob/master/src/main/java/gregtech/api/unification/Element.java#L1 there is lot of unused potential. Whole decayTo and halfLifeSeconds system for radioactive stuff could be used for interesting things.

I am leaving this item open for discussion.
