Simon They have to ask me to use the plane. If you take some food from a supermarket without paying for it and give them credit for the food, is it alright? Plus, the text up top even says "Please do not copy or make Similar Versions"
To avoid situations like this in the future, I have put up a notice on the Simulation telling the users to ask me for permission to copy the plane or a part of it
In other words if you pay for the food, then yes to your analogy.....
Anyways, I'm planning on making my own laser and using some of the concepts that I've seen around here that looked pretty efficient. I initially thought about copying, but meh, making my own is more fun.
super_mario LOL, I like your analogy. And I agree with you. Taking without permission and not asking is wrong. The problem is that most users don't know abou the forum. Like me, I made almost all my saves before I learned there was a forum/wiki when I saw "Powder Toy Wiki" So they don't know how to ask for permission.
My opinion is this - If you are ever tempted to steal think first. (1) Did you come up with the idea first? Probably no. (2) Think how hard someone else could have worked on that project. Would you like someone just taking your work without doing any work? (3) Be inspired. Go and build it, but better. That's what I did to Coleslav's "C4 Bridge 2." I turned it into my own series, blow the bridge.
