I would suggest an actual element or compound.

Or just call it the Macguffin element.

Give me a moment... Neropotentia.

i like that Neropotentia its Near potential

I have completed the music discs and will upload the updated sound pack soon (I'll even include a little bit of lore for each of the discs)

Why? It's a reference to a term invented in the 1950's and therefore ideal for the purpose.

It is an overused term and makes me think of the shitty 3D Pocahontas remake.

It made me think Avatar.
Anyway. Neropotentia would be entirely original. And cool. And stuff. And I run the pack so I should get the final thought. Whatever.

I agree but should we put this to a vote and i think we are putting to much work into something so small as the name of something very hard to get and almost useless unless gathered enough

I just downloaded the texture pack on the front page and I have noticed some problems mostly missing textures

1: the ender dragon is still the default texture
2: the villagers are still the vanilla ones but with gas masks
3: still no randomob support

the texture pack is not a very big file and can easily handle randomobs without the aid of the customizer, in fact its only the soundpack that is a very big file to download.

Neuronite?

Infernus Sidus!!! (It means Hell Star in Latin!)

I like hell star (every thing sounds better in Latin) and Derek is the only handling the download and i think that was on his agenda after all tekkit textures are implemented, i believe that's the list of jobs we gave him.

Thanks
I imagined the Wither Skeletons to be construction drones using rockets (fancy 50's rockets with read head replacing the head, their eyes would be somewhere on the torso) as jetpack, but since they ran out of fuel they now walk around on a pair of their construction arms. The Wither would be a military robot with three rockets on top (instead of the heads)
The only weak point is the lack of explanation why you need moon dust to create a Wither-bot.

Of course that's just my idea, but I haven't seen any other suggestions thus far.

maybe it was programmed to collect moon dust from scientist when they move a certain portion

The moon dust could have a sticky resedue that can properly hold it together, also explaining why you walk slowly while on it.

ooooooh i think froman posted them before or right after you got back from that weird al concert

@Derek, the first post is still linking to the revival customizer, we are back to using the original one. http://minecraftcustomizer.net/pack/Last Days

update for the sound pack is now available: http://www.mediafire.com/?68c13fd69mj5dt7

Music discs have been completely changed

here is some lore about the discs

blocks - (Bobby Darin - Beyond the sea)
ever feel lonely? with this tune you never feel alone when you know that someone is beyond the sea waiting for you. (Note that there is nothing beyond the sea except irradiated wasteland and Orbital Industries strongly urges listeners
to not swim in the ocean)

chirp - (Phil Harris - Minnie the Mermaid)
with this lovely jingle you too will be able to dream about your very own mermaid girlfriend (Orbital Industries recommends that listeners do not dive into the sea in search of mermaids due to the fact that they do not exist and if you do encounter one then it is not a mermaid, its a mutated fish)

far - (Russ Morgan - Laughing Trombone Polka)
tests on people involving this polka proved that 46.37% out of the people that had to listen to this were driven into madness

mall - (Sons of The Pioneers - Ghost Riders in the Sky)
the song of the legend of the "Ghost Riders", a 2000 man strong gang of men who rode on Hall Monitors who would prey on the wicked

mellohi - (Wayne King - Instrumental Pop 1)
a great song to give you sense of hope when times get rough

stal - (Xavier Cugat - Maria Elena)
a catchy tune, perfect for elevators shopping malls, bathrooms, mess halls, labs and even the Moon

strad - (Louis Armstrong - A Kiss To Build A Dream On)
the perfect music for a Huggatron to play while the owner is with his very special someone

ward - (Glenn Miller - In the Mood)
a neat little tune for dance halls with your fellow dwellers in the Cocoons

11 - (Charlie and his Orchestra - Makin Whoopee)
during an early test of portal technology, this disc was found on one of the test subjects that went through the portal, the test subject was clutching it with his charred hands, the disc was not like anything that Orbital Industries had ever seen, it had strange markings on it and worked with conventional jukeboxes, the song itself sung about how some race called USA only went into a war for profit.

so wait what are skeleton arms going to be becuase they hold a stone sword or pipe in our tp so like it seems a bit off to have a floating pipe with a rocket head

no the skelletons will be robots with rocket heads, the rest of the robot will still be there, they wil just have rockets for heads

oh dear, I just checked out the wither skeletons and they use the Bandit (skeleton) sounds that means there will be conflict with the lore by having a robot that makes human sounds

I will be releasing another sound update very soon, which will include the updated installation instructions and the lore to the music discs, I'll also add new sounds to lightning and lava
