Suggestion(Not a New Element)

    Allright, I had an idea that may be pretty useful. Because of TONS of different powders and materials the game lags a lot. Well, if we had a launcher that allows it to only open with certain powders the user suggests( checks off in the launcher) that way the game will have much less lag and such. I could actually make that, but I can not get my stupid powder source to work. Anyway thanks!

    good idea. + 5. it would free up a lot of space to make it to where new elements would be able to be place easily without lag also.

    I may start to work on this but as I said again, my powder wont compile because of some "Regex.h" (Im on PC) Soon im just going to post asking for help and have a more accurate description. Thanks.

    also about loading certian elements... how could you open a save with different elements? since you didn't load with all the elements, loading a save would be screwed up.

    Well true @cracker64 but after a long time of development, you could have it error and say: "Save Could not be loaded because it has un-selected materials" or something like that. Or another alternative "This save has materials that are not in use. Would you like to restart powder with these materials?" And so on. There is all ways a solution.
