    Elements in this context are related to Starbound's fire, poison, electric, and ice.
    For example, take FU's shadow and radioactive elements.

    How would I add my own?

    You'd need to add the new element's inventory icon for weapons that have it. It's under interface/elements.
    You'd need to patch the elementalTypes.config file in /damage.
    You'll need to add particles for damage numbers under /particles/damagenumbers.
    I've added four new elements with this.
