     Yeah you could try doing that. Can you PM me your mod when it's done?

    Thank you. Funny how you actually helped implementing fusion and commented here =)

     

    Yeah, that seems like a very interesting way of moving. Maybe like SPRK, it becomes the element's ctype and sticks on it. And indeed, if many of them come together at once you'd have a black hole. Good stuff!

    Yeah, I suggested the idea and jacob1 did the coding. But that's not really important here. And let me explain what I meant by mobile black holes. It wouldn't actually turn into BHOL, it would just act like a really intense gravity well. Like if you made a cloud of H2, the GRVI particles would be attracted to the H2 and eventually, as they combined, it would form gravitationally bound clumps of hydrogen gas that could be turned into a star. And with a little manipulation, you could have little STNE planets bound by their own gravity particles "orbiting" the star. In effect, GRVI would give a particle it's own gravity field if it stuck to it.

    As a carrier/emiter of gravity, will it too be effected by a gravity source? (for examlple other gravitons in the simulation)

    -Is affected by gravity like any other energy particle

    If it is affected by gravity, wouldn't its own gravity cause it to simply pile up into a huge mass in the middle of the screen?

    probably not, as long as there are other things for it to be attracted to when it spawns, and assuming it acts like most energy particles and spawns with a high initial velocity. However, if you have a blank screen and draw it you will probably end up with clumps. I really can't imagine it being that bad though, since the particles will likely spawn with weak gravity fields.

    Yup, think of one GPMP pixel with a temperature of about 7°C.

    I have been giving it some thought, and I think that when GRVI is attracted to another particle(s), the force of the attraction should be equal to the force of gravity that the GRVI is exerting on the particle(s). That should help eliminate large single clumps and allow for several smaller clumps of mass to form(making solar systems easier to do).

    It should be possible to create it with negative gravity. I like this idea.

    Two things:

    1: BUMP4U(Every thread gets one, if I like it.)

    2: Did any modder take this up as a project? I really would love to see this idea come to fruition, and if nobody else shows any interest I may try to do it myself.
