    Starbound can incorporate a Periodic Table!
    *It would serve has away to keep track of elements that you have discovered.
    *You would have to do test to classify it (metal nonmetal metaloid-gas solid liquid)
    *It could be hung as a decor item also
    *Elements would be blacked out in till brought back to lab for analysis.
    *Elements can be renamed.
    *Use a mix between real and fake elements.
    Hope you liked my ideas

    I like the idea. You should definitely add all of the Transition metals and nonmetals. But not the Manmade elements. Maybe a few of the Alkaline Earth metals and of course some that are made up.

    And you should be able to rename the elements

    Made up elements would be cool. New and original metals and gases are better than just generic "iron gun powered by hydrogen". I'd rather use a mythril gun powered by psionic gases.

    I love this idea. I use to make up ores, elements, races, languages... you name it! A cool element name could be Desrelium or maybe Ophresium.

    Yes please! It'll be a nice way to remind players on what element is discovered where. It should also allow players to jot down quick notes (ie. "This element seems to be more common in the inner parts of Planet X").

    I wonder if this idea will be implemented into the game.

    I'm thinking that an scanner would allow you to examine any solid block, and each block, depending on the conditions they are in (and obviously, the block type itself), could have a higher chance of containing an element. Still leaves me wondering of what use the elements could be of though...

    Fishbertus Zeromus

    I think a cool metal would be ESSTENSiBILUMISS.
