I propose that an endgame anti-gravitational matter should be implemented. This material would be so dense that it would pull players other objects towards it, even freeing chunks of earth from the ground. As a building material, it would allow for habitable building on planets with too low of gravity. As a crafting material, it could be used for weapons and equipment that affect gravity, such as explosives that create a black hole in their wake or boots that allow the player to walk up walls. To compensate for its advantages, this material would require some of the most expensive and rare materials to create, as well as some sort of an equally expensive fabricator to create it.
This seems like a reasonable idea, it coincides with my black hole gun and I see how it could have major practical applications. Although I must kinda agree with my prior poster. I'm just wondering how you'd get it without killing yourself every time you go near it. (Assuming too much gravity would kill you)
Reminds me of the Terraria Mod, "Experimento Gels" that had 'Propulsion Gel', 'Repulsion Gel', & 'Green Slime'. (The Green Slime was designed to do the same thing as 'Cobwebs', but not break after collision.) This idea takes things like that up to 11! I like this idea! Now that I think about it, it sounds like it's above & beyond Terraria's Gravitation Potions too! Ya make that sound like a bad thing...
Extremely Catastrophic? I say Extremely Patriotic. What better way to demoralize the enemy than having their sense of gravity distorted beyond repair, and having them fly at god-knows-what? HOO-YAA! ...
I kinda like this idea, but why make this end-game? In my opinion, I don't think equipment or difficulty levels should be such as a direct upgrade, but make every planet unique to have yourself adjust to the atmosphere and use the correct gear.
Of course, as with anything. I'm thinking that some apparatus could be attached to the material to adjust its gravity field strength. That way, it could be "turned" on and off as needed. Maybe one could even wire it to set traps.
*Imagines making a VERY large strong Anti-Gravity Trap that can gravity push a PvP foe off the surface of the planet, all the way up the Atmosphere & all the way into Space to blow up to death via Lethal Decompression*
I was saying it should be end-game because of its uses as a material for powerful weapons (such as Admiral Obvious's black hole gun) and for deadly traps.
The name 'Anti-Gravitational Matter' does not fit with something that has a strong gravitational field. But I can think of some uses that... disregard... health and safety.
I meant anti-gravitational as in it has the ability to go against gravity. This means it can pull things downward when on the ground, or even upwards when mounted above the ground. I understand where you're coming from, though--bad title. Too bad it won't let me fix it... Also, I was thinking that the matter could be modified to weaken gravity as well.
Ya can PM a Mod for a Thread Title change. Although I can think of uses for "Gravitational Matter", I would think "Anti-Gravitational Matter" would be even more rare & exotic a thing to have. How many things does one know about that can defy &/or cancel Gravity...? (As opposed to fighting the Gravity with some other Force, whether it be muscle power, Thrusters, etc.) This was why I was thinking of my earlier Trap that would cancel an Intruder's Gravity until they had ended up in Space to get blown up by Space Vacuum Decompression! Anyone ever seen anything like THAT before?
I like the way you're thinking! I have thought of an idea that expands on yours... A large (maybe 100 Blockish Diameter?) circular chamber lined with Anti-Gravitational Matter along its entire Walls... The inside is hollow, & can hold even large strong dangerous prisoners/monsters by having the Anti-Gravitational Matter pushing the Prisoner/Monster on all sides equally, forcing the Prisoner/Monster to be stuck in the center at all times constantly being pushed non-stop. If the Prisoner/Monster attempts to attack, the Anti-Gravitational Matter will be able to push on the attack harder & harder until the pushing force is too strong & the attack/object/whatever can't finish it's flight & gets pushed back to it's user, thus nothing would be able to get to the Anti-Gravitational Matter to damage or affect it in any way. This could make for a Sci-Fi Prison Cell that is cool for us & brutally uncomfortable for the Prisoner/Monster. I imagine such a Cell could also serve as a Solitary Confinement Cell as a punishment for misbehaving Prison Prisoners.
so how would one go about obtaining it? since it is anti-gravitational it would push you away and vice versa when you get close...
Perhaps a Sci-Fi Tool could be Crafted that has some kinda weird property to it that makes Gravity unable to grab or affect it, like maybe some kinda Tractor Beam-like thing?
