Rock stuff

Warriorz13:

@JustSaiyan

JustSaiyan:

Rocks n stuff huh?

Warriorz13:

So basically for every rock I post I need the color, its color of streak, whether it has cleavage or fracture, its hardness scale, its luster, and special properties.

JustSaiyan:

I'll try my best, but I'm not a geologist. The last time I did something like this was 6th grade.

Warriorz13:

Starting off with Foliated Metamorphic rocks.

Warriorz13:

Which starts with... Slate.

JustSaiyan:

.......I don't even get a picture? LOL ok then. Lets see here. It's a dark grey, it's cleavage, (I'll have to look up the hardness scale, I only remember that diamond is the hardest) it's a very dull luster. As for special properties, could you remind me of what this would entail?

JustSaiyan:

JustSaiyan:

It's hardness is 5.5

Warriorz13:

not 100% sure on special properties, ill leave that blank

JustSaiyan:

I would think it would mean something like glowing or refracting light or being used as a source of fuel.

Warriorz13:

Just found out some news epic just released.

Warriorz13:

In a near future patch. They are banning stretch res

JustSaiyan:

That would only affect PC players wouldn't it?

Warriorz13:

Nope. It's technically a cutom resolution. Meaning anyone can do it by changing a small amout of script in the coding

Warriorz13:

They are banning it because it increases FOV

JustSaiyan:

Meaning you need to homebrew your PS4 to do it on PS4. So it won't effect me.

JustSaiyan:

affect*

Warriorz13:

Still though
