    @vivalavida - you too? Are you running Linux? I just figured out that might be my problem. TPT in a Windows VM is OK. Other workaround is Jacob1's mod.

    The south bias is due to the portals entrance direction, but there does seem to be more growth towards the east, which can't be explained this way.

    I'm pretty sure the bias has to do with the way the portal housing is built, G-linxorU.

    Also to anyone needing to know particle id's, if you do this code it'll put the id after the element description. If you put it in your own lua file and enable it on startup you'll be golden. for element,data in pairs(tpt.el) do local e=tpt.el[element] e.description=e.description.." "..e.id end

    Still not working in my regular TPT, anybody have any ideas? I even deleted scripts. Never encountered this before. [scratches head, frowns horribly]

    this does a great job showing off tpt's south, south-east bias.

    odd. If you set the tmp of pipe to all prto. It grows like a cell

    @mamrin you need to try it a few times. it usually gets stuck because the portal in blocks it
