It is just a dummy. It does nothing, just for a placeholder.
I felt its necessity while building my subframe stuff:
I'm using CONVs and CRAYs to modify other pixels around;
It needed some dummy elements to do nothing and not interfere with other pixels;
I used some elements in the solid tab: ROCK, CRMC, QRTZ, SPNG, BRCK, COAL, etc...
But some COALs started burning at some time, and SPNGs began sweating.
Here are some specifics:
Its ID could be 255...
And the name would be "DUMY".
It acts just like DMND by default.
tmp is used for settings (binary flags). The flags are as follows:
0x01: do not spread heat
0x02: blocks pressure
0x04: blocks energy particles (like GRVT, PROT, etc..?)
0x08: disappears when life decrements from 1
0x10: can be affected by CONV
0x20: can be affected by CRAY
0x40: LDTCs can copy its ctype
0x80: DTECs can copy its ctype
