    So a 'Dis/allow copying' box?

    I still disagree. What if someone wants to build on an idea, like some people did with Rconover's smelter?

    Again, if it's directly stolen without credit, just notify a moderator. Maybe there could be an in-game report button that would send an e-mail or a conversation message to all the moderators.

    I agree with a bchandark. We need some sort of report option for users but we do not need any of these silly restrictions on what a user can and cannot do with a download. Give credit where credit is due or face consequences.

    i think that if you are such an idiot to be soo bothered about other people stealing work you are silly
    IT IS JUST A GAME

    YOU KNOW TO HAVE FUN WITH

    what i'm saying is that it is hardly a compitition and you don't win anything
    so IT DOESN'T MATTER

    if you really care just ask people to vote you up then they can 'steal' your work

    WHO CARES ????!1

    "There's no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit"-R. Reagan

    Just thought I would add that.

    I never implied it was a competition in the first place, so don't say it is.

    This is a one of a kind game, there aren't many like this anymore since the fail of Fallingsandgame

    Its credit there is no point in making original works if it can't even be known that I made it.

    btw, 5/11 of your saved simulations are Gas Powered Engine, and then 1 is some bullocks.

    BY-NC is pretty pointless on an open-source application... would you pay for a TPT design?

    BY-ND is going to get hairy, I see something you make under a ND licence, attempt to recreate it in my own way; have I just copied your work and broke the BY-ND licence or is it an original work?

    ::Example (I have used all these smelters ftr)::
    Assuming rconover put a BY-ND on his original smelter, depending on how zealous you are it could go 2 ways.

    1) They're all different with the exception of petaki's which is a derived work of rconover's and just that one would be removed.
    -OR-
    2) rconover was the first to put a smelter and under licence rendering all smelters made after a derived work based on the concept.

    This could cause even bigger problems if somebody made a torture chamber, put it under PD and then somebody copied it and put it under a different licence, IIRC any derived works must be placed under a licence granting the same freedoms, so a PD derived work must be licenced under PD...

    just highlighting possible problems with the CC licencing idea...

    EDIT: Not like trolls like bigshit are even going to honour the licence in the first place :P
