or they could be a modified brel-type piece that could be programmed to straighten out the edges of the metal in theory repairing it. But in some cases it could make parts that werent there in the first place. I believe the destruction-type nanobot could have some uses. King of like a guided sing to get to the metal. I support this idea.

I think it would work if it were like the antimatter element which created lowpressure where it destroys andpulls the othera particles in. If they were like that then it would work as a deconstuctor.

I think the idea here is that the a "broken" wire would look like this

M=METL N= NANO

MMMMMMMM_______MMMMMMM

MMMMMMMMNNNNNNMMMMMMM

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

so if two line-shaped selections of a solid have the same X or Y coordinate, one pixel of NANO would come in and turn into METL in the gap. Of course, this would be as glitchy as jesus shitting.

I like the fact that there are still some people that are willing to think about the things they suggest before they post it. I love this idea and am going to mention it to someone that might be able to make it in a mod. This would be very useful in a lot of simulations including disaster cleanup, prevention, etc. Thank you for posting this suggestion. :)

I like the idea of a Brownian Motion-based clone. Each frame it would move a random direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonals) then produce a pixel of its Ctype at a random one of its eight sides.
