So we all love the Arc Smelter. We all love the wonderful things it makes. And we all love the amount of customization it has. But as some of you may have noticed, it's not quite being used to the potential that was advertised - namely the additive system.
Now, we've seen a few additives work, mostly Welding Fuel and some of the drugs, but that's about it; so far it hasn't been demonstrated that any other reagent has any noteworthy effect on alloys. And as Keelin said in the changelog, "The rarer / more exotic the reagent, the more dramatic the effect on the material", or at least that's supposed to be the case.
To that end, I say we come up with a few! Adding unique properties to the alloy? Altering the alloy's stats? Causing things to happen when they make contact with someone? Let's get some suggestions on the table!
