    Because walls act on 4x4 pixel grids. The air map is tied to the wall map. It would also be very laggy to make the air simulation 2x2 or 1x1.

    why is it that pressure is quantified in 4x4 pixels?

    That's intentional, TTAN won't block air unless at least half of the spaces in the cell are filled with TTAN. The goal is to make it as if you need a TTAN wall (2 pixels thick) to actually block pressure. If all TTAN blocked pressure, you could just have one TTAN every 4 pixels, which would be weird. It was also done this way for technical reasons, it would be too difficult to actual detect walls of TTAN, so instead the 8 pixel TTAN thing was done.

    Will we ever see a day where TTAN doesn't feel so... I dunno wonky? when it comes to handling pressure. Just feels very "blocky" when it comes to handling such things, i.e. pressure won't permiate past holes in ttan if there is sufficient adjacent ttan. I'm sure there is very fancy technical baseline game mechanic reasons for why it isn't feasable and/or that way now

    Yeah, I'd never want the game, or my mod to die. Both of those will be receiving updates soon. The speed of updates is nothing like it used to be though. Just an unfortunate effect of me having a full-time job, and sort of losing interest. But I haven't lost interest enough to stop developing entirely.

    It's crazy to think firstly, THAT THIS SAVE IS STILL ACTIVE. And secondly that this game and Jacobs mod for that matter is still being developed and updated. After repeated year long hiatuses I thought for sure this "game" would have gone silent but every time I am proven wrong, I tip my hat to you! keep it up <3
