Element reactions

[blasterfreund]

Hello,
i saw a list of the elements that are planed to be released in Earth Editor.
So i allready know the reactions of the released elements, but i want to now the reactions of the other elements like living, plastic and crystal. Can someone tell me them?

[Qwerty]

Sure.

Name: Magnet

Color: 990000/FFFFFF (Red/White)

Reactions: Pulls dots of [metal] within a 75 dot radius toward it, and if placed at both "poles" (or at least close to where the poles should be) of the planet, the planet will start to rotate.

State: Solid

Note: When left clicked, it will appear red, when left clicked, it will appear white. Red = North, White = South.

Name: Alien

Color: 33CC33 (Alien Green)

Reactions: Takes 3 dots of metal and uses them to fly on a "ship", and will use this to fly around their planet, or to another. Kills [Life], drowns in water, and takes, or destroys, 2 or 3 dots of wood per dot as a "sample".

State: Living Powder

Name: Sugar

Color: FFFFFF (White)

Reactions: Attracts an is consumed by [life], turns water into [SUGAR WATER]. Sugar accelerates the growth of [plant], or makes it grow even more.

State: Powder

Name Sugar Water (Artificial)

Color: 6666CC

Reactions: Attracts and is consumed by [life]. Does not rust metal, and accelerates the growth of [Plant]. This element is really just a byproduct of [sugar] and [water], and serves no real purpose.

Here's a revised version:

Name: Obsidian

Color: 010101

Reactions: Is melted by Lava, an Lava has a 25% chance of cooling into it. There is a 33% chance life will start to carry it as a weapon and a 67% chance it will accidentally kill itself trying to. It also has the reactions I listed before.

State: Solid, Powder (artificial)

Element Name : [OZONE]

Color : CCCCFF (very pale blue)

Reactions : Oxidizes metals other than gold, if ever added, burns or discolors plants, combusts on contact with lighter elements, damages plastics, surround planet sort of like [CLOUD], if ever added, harms [LIFE] the game has.

State of Form : Gas

Element Name: [LIFE], or maybe [HUMAN]

Color: idk, help?

Reactions: Carves solids, with the exception of [PLASTIC] into 'buildings', slowly burns on contact with lighter elements, 'swims' in water. If two or more dots make contact, they begin to attack each other or the will begin to multiply, the latter being more likely. Drowns in liquids unless otherwise noted.

State of Form: Living Powder

Element Name : [OZONE]

Color : CCCCFF (very pale blue)

Reactions : Oxidizes metals other than gold, if ever added, burns or discolors plants, combusts on contact with lighter elements, damages plastics, surround planet sort of like [CLOUD], if ever added, harms [LIFE] the game has.

State of Form : Gas

Oh, and ozone would float above cloud.

Element Name: [LIFE], or maybe [HUMAN]

Color: idk, help?

Reactions: Carves solids, with the exception of [PLASTIC] into 'buildings', slowly burns on contact with lighter elements, 'swims' in water. If two or more dots make contact, they begin to attack each other or the will begin to multiply, the latter being more likely. Drowns in liquids unless otherwise noted.

State of Form: Living Powder

Element Name: [PLASTIC]

Color: FFFFCC (Creamy White)

Reactions: Slowly Burns on contact with lighter elements and produces [GAS] and some will melt into [OIL], [LIFE/HUMAN] will carry it for a while, then leave dots of it behind.

State of Form: Solid

I guess it doesn't have a real purpose, but [life] would carry it and drop it to show pollution, I guess.

Element Name: [GAS]

Color: CC9999 (Same color as in PG)

Reactions: Burns on contact with lighter elements, infects [CLOUD] and produces [ACID] rain, is produced when plastic is burned, slowly kills [LIFE].

State of Form: Gas (duh)

For the 'acid rain', a dot of gas turns a dot of cloud into two or three dots of acid. And yeah, five dots to kill one dot of [life] should work. The [life] pixels want the oil (and crystal), and will sometimes fight to get it.

Element Name: [OIL]

Color: 803020

Reactions: Burns on contact with lighter elements, [LIFE] will look, dig, or even kill to get it, floats on water, is ignited by [METEOR].

State of Form: Liquid

Element Name: [ACID]

Color: CCFF00

Reactions: Eats through most element, ratios TBD,. Meteor has the same reaction it does with any other element, does not burn, basically the same as in PG, is rained down by infected [CLOUD].

State of Form: Liquid

It generally melts though every element except [meteor] or [crystal]. Meteor makes it blast up, like it does with every element, and crystal is immune to it, sort of like glass in PG. Acid would be attracted to BH and repelled from WH just like every other element.

Element---Dots Destroyed

SAND---15
WATER---10
METEOR---0
WALL---5
SEED---20
SALT---20
FIRE---10
ICE---3
CLOUD---20
LAVA---2
SEAWATER---3
PLANT---10
OZONE---15
LIFE---1
PLASTIC---10
GAS---20
OIL---4
CRYSTAL---0
LIGHTNING---0

Element Name: [CRYSTAL] (Not available on menu)

Color: Definitely some sort of purple. Definitely.

Reactions: Appears when pressure* is placed on [WALL] or [SAND], [LIFE] will dig for it and carry it around on top of itself. This attracts other [LIFE] dots, and will influence their reaction. [CRYSTAL] is impervious to [LAVA].
*Pressure is applied by heavy elements like [LAVA] and such

Once it carried to the surface, Life would fight over it, and try to build out of it. It is immune to [acid], and would conduct [LIGHTNING] (see below)

Name: [LIGHTNING]
Color: FFFF20 (bright yellow), but maybe electric blue like in real life
Reactions: Combusts [ozone], is conducted by [crystal] and [cloud], and is eventually shot out of [cloud] in a pattern similar to PG, kills [life], is conducted by water for 25 frames, ignites oil, and has a reaction similar to thunder in PG with other neutral elements like [sand] and [salt].

Element Name :clay

Color :brown

Reactions :life will pick clay up and turn it into brick wich it will use for building,also is waterproof both in clay and brick states,magma turns clay into brick but wil destroy whatever the player builds with it

State of Form :solid

Name: Metal

Color: 333333 (dark grey)

Reactions: Is built into tall buildings by life, is rusted into [RUST] (see below) by water, seawater, and ozone, is melted by lava, conducts lightening, and is destroyed by acid on a 1:5 ratio.

Form: Solid

Name: Rust (not available on menu)

Color: CC6600

Reactions: Is destroyed by acid on a 1:10 ratio, floats on water. The only purpose of this element is to be created when metal rusts. It will convert back to metal when it makes contact with oil 69% of the time.

Form: Powder

Tell me if I missed any. If there are some on this list that aren't on the list of elements, they probably weren't accepted.

Speaking of which, the element keepers should keep a mini-encyclopedia explaining the elements on the list on the page itself, cough, coug,h Ishouldn'tbedoingyourjobs, cough.

[darkchaos10]

Those elements may only be added is h55ii learns english and finds this forum(and then likes the ideas) XD

[Rock]

Actually, he added oil like a week after I suggested it.

He may have already planned to move PG elements into EE, he moved BG shade in too...

[~Memzak~]

True. Although it is a bit suspicious that when this forum became active in the EE board and were thinking about how cool it would be if EE got and update.... and then... BAM! EE update.

[Qwerty]

Yeah. It's like we randomly decide "Wouldn't it be cool if there was an EE update?" and next week guess what came up? Same happened with Whipper.

[darkchaos10]

I sense a h55ii in disguise XD

[Qwerty]

Hmm, one of us is a Japanese game-maker... I'll get out the scary wooden chair and thumbscrews!

In the meantime, seriously, you guys need to have a guide on the List of Elements page.

[~Memzak~]

*takes out boxed set of all all manga on 12 different 2TB hard drives*

Now... ...no Japanese can resist manga...

But we should be going back to the topic of the list of element reactions.

[darkchaos10]

I think we decided we need one.

[Qwerty]

The EE keepers shoulda made one as they went.

[blasterfreund]

who is h55ii?
is he one of the founders of dan-ball or even one who programm something?
which languege he speaks?
woops this doesn't belong here, well...
Just thanks Qwerty for that arcurate list! ;D

[Artifact123]

1. I was the first one here who asked for updates.
2. Those ideas aren't coming in the game. Except by coincidence.

[Qwerty]

Artifact, both of those are completely wrong.

Ha55ii is the owner of dan-ball and the games, and many of these ideas have gotten in-game almost verbatim from how they are stated here, often immediately after discussion thereof comes to a close. Once might be a coincidence, but Whipper? Earth editor update? Right at those times?

[disabled]

IIRC whipper was suggested nothing like what appeared in game, except for the name and the fact that he uses whips of course. The suggested whipper had a knock-back ability, while the real one has the bullet thing

Ha55ii still can't speak english. So either he browses the forum with some translator or some jap dude browses the forum and proposes the ideas to him (probably as his own ideas).
Still its undeniable that ideas from this forum find their way into the games.

[Qwerty]

Yep, pretty much what Disabled said. Mercury got into the game, too, this time almost verbatim. The EE editor update didn't have much to be verbatim about, though, it seems.

Wow... that gave me an obvious conclusion.

Ha55ii browses the forums with the translator, and uses some of the ideas; the translator probably doesn't work well, and he makes the ideas he sees better.

What happens if you put knockback into an eng-jap translator?

[Qwerty]

Hmm, we'll have to translate that one for one of our Japanese members to see how it would work.

[Anonymousperson5]

Ideas that he sees? Why don't a lot of things from the DBF get incorporated then? Maybe he's taking it into moderation so we don't get TOO suspicious? Or is it just coincidental?

It's pretty hard to tell.
