Stamps of Less than a 4px minimum length/width

    Would it be possible to have stamps able to record with less than a 4 px snap? I understand that it may be due to the game not being able to stamp a part of a wall, but maybe there could be an error message if the user tries to do that?

    I think this would be useful for circuitry where one has to do the most in small spaces.

    Thanks!

    This is also a problem with copy & paste that can get annoying at times. Maybe instead of an error message it just would ignore the half wall.

    I vote for the stamp/clipboard to ignore a partial selection of any wall and to allow 1px minimum. If that makes any sense...

    if (floor(selWidth/4) == selWidth && floor(selHeight/4) == selHeight) {
    // WALL-PASTING/STAMPING MODE
    } else {
    // PARTICLE-PASTING/STAMPING MODE
    // Only remove the walls around the edge perhaps?
    }

    If something is that small why not just remake it. It wouldnt be hard.

    Doesn't have to be small..it could fill up half the screen and still be on the 3px edge.

    I really hate it when that happens.

    No offense, but I like stamps just the way they are. The only time I ever needed to copy something so small is when I was making my laser grid in dust (which I could do). But in TPT, there are no lasers and photons aren't perfectly straight and don't reflect the way I want them to.

    I use stamps a lot, for copying a part of one of my creations to another, saving a customized logic gate for reference, saving things to my hard drive instead of the server for offline use, as well as just moving things. And when I operate in a tight space, it becomes very difficult to conform to the 4x4 restrictions.
