Concrete mixing

    Currently, the only reaction that makes CNCT is pressurizing molten ROCK; this is quite slow and also makes BRMT/BMTL.  So I propose a new way to make CNCT production lines that is faster and doesn't leave us with less finished product than raw material:

     

    PSTE mixes with SAND to make PSTE(SAND); while normal PSTE turns hardens into BRCK at 474C, PSTE(SAND), instead, hardens into CNCT at this temperature.

     What is "why do you need cnct" supposed to mean?

    agreed beacuse concrete is cool

    but like why do you need a cnct fctory, what does cnct do other than stack.

    nothing but theres no reason not to add this and concrete is cool

    I would also give SAND another practical application besides GLAS production.  Real life concrete is made with sand anyways, so it would also add more realism.

    I think that PSTE(SAND) should instead be PSTE(CNCT) and PSTE(X) hardens into X.

    The way to make PSTE(CNCT) will still be adding SAND to PSTE, but this gives PSTE more uses.

    I argue that it should be stne+pste, which makes pste(stne)

     Good idea, but I think it might be confusing to make it so that the ctype of PSTE is a different element than the one that got absorbed.  Still, here's one upvote for offering ideas for suggested feature. 1+

     Real life concrete is made by mixing cement, sand, and water.  CLST can fill in for cement, and PSTE is CLST and WATR mixed together, so we already have the cement and water mix; all that's left is sand.  So no, I don't think it should be PSTE mixed with STNE to make CNCT.  But if you're suggesting that PSTE(STNE) should harden into STNE, that's a somewhat interesting proposition; it would mean no need for pressure in order to make CLST into STNE.  But you would need clone to make STNE to mix with the PSTE to make STNE; you might as well just make STNE directly using clone variants in that scenario.
