Post any bugs you find here. But there aren't as many bugs that are really bugs and I don't already know about than when this first started, so also use this as a general conversation save, or to ask / tell me anything. #1 most commented save in tpt!

    DeuteriumOxide: Settings are only saved when certain actions are taken, Idon't think the options menu counts. You could try going into the console and sending a dummy command like "1" and it should save the settings. It also saves settings on exit but I've heard reports of the game crashing on exit, which would cause it to not save the settings.

    explosivepowder: Losing interest is probably the main reason. But interest is actually higher than it has been last year. LBPHacker has been doing a lot of nice work, and is a faster coder than I am. As for me, I kind of lost interest because I don't have enough time anymore to do it, so have to focus my time on other things.

    Some_Guy1212121: BALL has issues, I know of the issue when running into walls, but don't intend to ever fix this. BALL is a very poor attempt at moving solids, and I don't want to make any patches to it. That bug has been there since I first created moving solids like 10 years ago :P

    heptium345: yes it's a nice script :P. I made it at the request of another user! (I forget who but they should be mentioned in the script). DeuteriumOxide: I can't tell if you are joking or not. If you are serious, you probably had a malicious Lua script that did that. Some_Guy1212121: Editing TRON may not properly save or propagate to other TRON, since it's console commands.

    Uganda_Knuckles: I don't understand your pressure / powder effect bugs. But you mention using a tablet. There are definitely many more bugs on the Android version of TPT, so with more details maybe I could try to fix them. As for the jetpack thing, I did test it and confirmed that bug. Can't guarantee a fix because I'm busy, but bug acknowledged at least.

    East_Europe3339: That bug happens when a save you had favorited gets deleted. Sorry about that. I know how to fix it but consider it fairly low priority, because there's also some mild danger in editing the database to fix it for all affected users (which is a LOT, even me). Also, when PIPE breaks, the contents inside are lost. Perhaps it should turn into the element inside instead of BRMT?

    Apologies for ignoring this save for a while. Tons of stuff to respond to ... going to start from the oldest comment up to the newest.

    Is there a reason TPT Development is so slow at the moment? Did everyone just lose interest?
