Viscosity:
Flammability: /
Direction of gravity: Attractive (+)

Reactions:
1. Ignite flammables and explosives upon contact.

2. Chance for certain minerals form:
a. 1% Diamond
b. 4% Obisidian
c. 30% Amethyst
d. 20% Calcite
e. 45% Stone

Too much like magma to me...

[Regzal]

ya same, they are basicly the same thing, what's the difference in terms of reactions?

[~Memzak~]

have you guys even READ the description.... Magma, doesn't solidify and doesn't become harmless after some time... and MAGMA DOESN'T Form RARE minerals when hardening...

Like Diamond, Obisidian and Amethyst...


I'd like to see magma do that...

[Regzal]

I guess that's true but they are actually the same substance, magma is lava when it is still in the volcano

[secret]

Too bad PG magma can't simulate this relationship...
And PG magma never cools by itself

[powder dude]

would any hot substance mean itself, if it was too cold would it harden even in a pool of lava?

[secret]

For example:
There are two pools of Lava
When they are separate
They solidfy after 5 seconds
But if one pool solidfies and (molten) Lava from the other pool touches the pool that has solidfied, it'll melt again into Lava

[powder dude]

thanx

Maybe it would be better to lava be something like acid. Acid have predefined on start number that decries with every other element touched and when its down to 0 it dissapier...

What if lava have predefined number of heat and heat is transfered between lava (if there is lava with full and 0 heat, some heat get to the 0 one). Some elements would cool it off and some will add heat.

I think it would be quite good for it...

Hmm....
Maybe for example, a Lava pixel has 10 heat
When it contact with hardened Lava (i.e. with 0 heat) then heat is transferred from the Lava to the hardened Lava until both heat is equal (i.e. 5=5)

By applying this rule, when one dot of Lava has x heat and another has y heat (where x>y) then heat is transferred from the hotter one to the cooler one until both has an equal amount of heat. (x-k=y+k, where k is the amount of heat transferred)

Special case:
When x=1 and y=0
Theordically, x-0.5=y+0.5
But x, y and k must be an integer and k <= x so it becomes
x-1=y+1
In which one Lava pixel hardens while the other becomes molten
This also applies when x or y is an odd no.

In order to apply the formula into this notable reaction
Solidifies after 5 seconds when not touching anything hot

We need to consider the heat loss to surroundings j (is a constant to avoid making things complicated)
Where after t seconds or t frames
x-j
y-j

But any suggestions of the values of j and t?

[Qwerty]

I'm afraid I vote nay. Reactions aside, do we seriously need magma and lava?

[vaconcovat]

give it a different name, same properties. Then i vote yes. Now, No.

[tackew]

I vote for it
