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!

    Not sure what to suggest then. The longer major simulation changes wait the more stuff gets added that complicates things. I'm guessing TPT will just never have descent state changes or a larger area at this point. Kinda unfortunate but whatever.

    I'm not going to be writing a TPT 2 ... lol. That would be a massive effort and cause significant problems for the community.

    You said it'd require some major changes to simulation code to do somthing like that. Could there ever be a TPT 2 then? A more advanced physics simulator but with the same sort of grid pattern? Maybe a larger area and proper state changes etc. could be included in such a rework. Though I imagine it'd take too much manpower rn

    The only reason I say technically not a bug is because it was designed that way. But it was a poor design choice. It's just really hard to fix it in the code, or else we would have done it already. I'm actually surprised I never included it in my bug list here. The most similar bug is an ancient bug "Can't move signs into zoom window". So it was even WORSE in the past lol.

    It is bug-adjacent. As in, it's kind of a bug, but not really. Either way I'd love to fix it.

    DeuteriumOxide: That bug has been there for over 8 years, but yet you are the first person to point out the typo, congrats! That said, I don't plan to fix it because I don't want to update the save and change the "Date Updated" from 2014 to 2021 :P

    I saw. Replied to you on the previous page of comments. Just a graphical quirk, not a bug though.
