# New Concrete Ideas File
# For NodeCore
Note that I can change my opinion about items here in the future (e.g. remove 'x' flag)

Syntax features:
# [color] ! [detailed color] [in-game name] - candidate for new concrete
! - new concrete
start of line flags:
	a - not sure about the name
	b - inadequate (bad) name
	i - implemented
	o - not sure about it/off by default if implemented (i)
	x - idea rejected (everything else is accepted)
	# - Comment/kept for history



Ideas:


o - New tool, metal stylus:
	* Created by cold/hot forging a prill on a bar.
	* More durable and fast than a traditional stylus.

	* If the hot lode etching idea below is accepted,
	* it may be the only tool that can create patterns
	* in hot lode.



- Common colors and shades for reference:
	* Red (tempered lode?)
	* Orange
	* Yellow (default)
	* Green (done as dark green)
	* Blue (done)
	* Purple
	* Pink
	* Brown (default)
	* Gray (default)
	* Black (default)
	* White (default)


- New concretes (3 of 4/5 so far): # Number explanation: [Done] of [Main concretes]/[Their variants (e.g. + charcoal)]
	- already existent concrete (won't make new ones with same color as these):
		* tarstone - black,
		* adobe - darkish brown,
		* sandstone - yellow,
		* stone - gray,
		* cloudstone - white
		
o		- Additional Charcoal variants
			* sandstone yellow = dark yellow
			* cloudstone white = dark gray
	
i	! chromatic glass - blue:
		* Color: light blue, with subtle white details
		* Mix name: Chromix | Set name: Chromete
		* Needs to be mixed with mallet for a longer time # the mallet turns the glass into shards.
								  # I think they could realistically work because crude glass (which would also become shards) is in vanilla already.
								  # I also really want blue concrete, and don't know of any other blue block (not liquid or plant).
i		- charcoal version - dark blue: # I think charcoal would mix because it just goes into the whole mix and ash, it doesn't need to touch the shards, right?
						# Like with the aggregate's stones?
			* Color: dark blue, with similar lighter parts
			* Mix name: Sea Chromix | Set name: Sea Chromete

x	! wood - light brown:
		* Color: detailed light brown OR something similar to particle board?
		* Mix name: Particle Mix | Set name: Particle Board

ai	! peat - dark green:
		* Color: detailed dark green, with brown aspects
		* Mix name: Green Aggregate | Set name: Green Concrete # Named like "green concrete" which means concrete out of organic/recycled material

	#- leaves/thatch/peat - green! detailed lightish green + charcoal = dark green:
	#	- Which material? Let's compare them!
	#		* Leaves: color: 5/10, granurality: 5/10 (color is a bit dark)
	#		* Thatch: color: 7/10, granurality: 4/10 (color nice and light, but I don't know how packed "strings" would mix)
	#		*   Peat: color: 3/10, granurality: 8/10 (nice and granular, but color comes closer to adobe)

x	- wicker - red! darkish red (not granular enough)
	! lode:
		- I don't think lode would be good as a concrete ingredient.
		- Instead, etch patterns in hot lode:
			* First off, heat up the lode block.
			* Then use a metal (or stone?) stylus to write concrete patterns in it.
			* Cool down to an annealed or tempered state, and it is ready for building.

			* The block can of course be chopped back into prills like ordinary lode.
			* The pattern can also be removed by hammering the block, heated up.
