There still can be other uses for them anyways. I mean, think of real life uses for magnets. There's so many. -
first, this thing is suggested before.
second, we need to add "MagnetAble" label at metals.
third, a wall of INSL should block a certain amount of magnets.
fourth, how it pushes the solid block like it is hit by a piston if the velocity is blocked by a thick "UnMagnetAble" wall or even normal wall?
EDIT: fifth, LAVA, if the ctype is "MagnetAble" must be pulled too, which, lags a lot if you put a lot of lava.Edited 3 times by h4zardz1. Last: 24th Apr 2014 -

And I still think this will be really complicated to implement. We'll need a dev to answer that. -

Jacob1? Please?
@h4zardz1 (View Post)2nd: I think there should anly be a Magnetable label for those elements in the wiki, not in the actual game. It may add too much in the description of the elements.
3rd: You're right about INSL should block the magnetic attraction, even if there is a magnetable element across. That should be the only exception.
4th: It doesn't need a free space in a wall for the attraction or repelling forces to go through.
5th: If such a situation would exist, it would be the user's fault for the lag. Just like there's lag in explosions yet people still like to create them.

The most obvious way to implement this is to copy everything Newtonian Gravity is, including its latent nature, make a new layer with it and make five new elements that only apply to that layer, and change two to apply to it as well. You can always have a go at writing that, you know...

yeah... What he said... Sorry i'm not a computer coding geek.

@boxmein is right. so, it is a new kind of attractor/repeller. what i mean "MagnetAble" label is the element's properties. if the element's "MagnetAble" property is <1 and >0 or =0, then it is not attracted/repelled by magnets. if the element's "MagnetAble" property is =1 or >1, then it is attracted to magnets. if the "MagnetAble" property is <0 (-0) then it blocks certain amount of magnet force by the amount like it is blocking GX/GY from the newtonian gravity, if it is more than 4 pixel by a single effect grid. INSL should have a amount of -0,5. (it blocks 0,5 magnet force) <br/> -
But what about moving BMTL, IRON, METL, TTAN and TUNG like he suggested?
Breaking these into BRMT works, but to move these solids as a whole like PSTN, wouldnt it be difficult? PSTN works in a very defined way, with a single pixel line, FRME and PSCN and NSCN.
Just drawing a bunch of magnet somewhere and making solids move towards it is...complicated?
Changing the velocity won't work.... -

How about this:
Instead of the metals themselves being magnetized, why not just put FRME around them and make just that magnetic?I wouldn't really support that, but it may work.
I guess the only way really is just breaking the metals.
Here is a new list of things that should be magnetable:
-BRMT
-BREL
-MERC
-Any other suggestions?
