An Idea. Magnet. Take consideration?

Open AutoBackNeck opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Understanding the ideal you want to keep the elements low, I do wish to ask for one type of element that can be used to interact with other elements. The element is Magnet. It will look like a shiny stone element with a smooth textured look. The idea is that it will be able to attract nearby magnetic materials.

The Magnet should be able to interact with a repulse and an impulse rate. This means a specific material would have to be touching the magnet at the time to make it determine either it is pulling/repelling or not. An example element of a switch would be lava, as lava is a heat source it may be used to power the magnet.

The magnet should be limited on pull range, this should only be 40-60 pixels from its location, this is to keep it from beings game breaking.

Possible attractable materials would be and are included as Stone, Dust(this is because dust(s) have an electric charge), gas, and maybe sand.

I believe this element will allow the user to be able to make interactive auto inventions, this can include factories and or cycles of variations of elements across a board, or even SORTERS! I really hope that this can come to mind and spark an interest. I am sure the community would love to have a magnet as an element. Thank you!

(side note) If you do not think this idea would work, or the idea would be too complicated, you can always narrow it down to a similar element. Since magnetic material is consider biological(which biological elements seem to be the main element genre in game) I would think this would be a great addition!
