Any point in documenting the effects of the metals just yet?
I've wrote a list of what each metal (or metals I have gotten my hands on), I've avoided the numbers from the machine (as i'm certain they're subject to tweaking), but i've wrote down what metals have certain effects, like uqill being impact resistant, telecystals having special powers, and so on so forth.
One thing that confuses me: Crystal windows (made from plasma, but not from the arc smelter) are practically shatter resistant. However, plasma windows (From the arc smelter) are not, at all.
Another thing; What is the purpose of coating when it comes to armor? Does it just change the color of the armor or does it have an actual effect?
What is the purpose of quality? Does the values increase as the quality goes up? One thing that effects the quality i've noticed is
A) The material used. Slag will produce shitty quality, while miraclium will produce magnificent quality
B) The amount used. Using two instead of one source material, ie: 2x miracle matter.
Can I suggest a third variable? How about heat? Put a pump into arc smelter that a canister can be attached. The higher the temp the better quality the material. This way, engineers could siphon off some stuff from the hot loop, or scientists from toxins. It's almost as if the arc smelter is screaming for this to be implemented.
