New ore: tiberium analogue

[QP Evergrande]

Since mining is being played around with for the moment, I thought I might float an idea. Just a fun new hazard for miners that can also be beneficial. Rare, more so than a gem. Having the properties of metal, crystal, dense metal and dense matter. Radioactive like cerenkite, but not usable as a power source. Fairly strong, fairly good for construction. But, it has the special property that it will periodically consume things and spawn another of itself in an adjacent tile (possible releasing a small cloud of poisonous gas at the same time?), even if that tile is wall or grating (So you can lose control of it if you're not careful). For example, first it'll consume an item in its same tile (so you can safely feed it with sheets of metal, for example, but it might also eat your gloves if you're holding it and they aren't top-quality.), then the floor underneath it, then the lattice, then the exterior plating. It won't spawn a new piece of ore if all adjacent tiles have one of it- it'd kill the servers to have these things spawning exponentially. But, if you're standing next to or on top of one of these things when it spawns, and you don't have an air-tight suit on, it may instead infect you with a disease that inflicts brute damage as well as irradiating you at an increasing rate for four stages, then in the fifth stage you explode into five or six pieces of this stuff.

So basically, a very valuable, but very dangerous new material with lots of traitory potential.

Incidentally, viscerite and koshmarite don't seem to have been added to the shipping market yet.
