To satisfy the TPT communities almost never ending for WIFI channels. I suggest that we incorporate ctypes into the current system.
EXAMPLE:
WIFI temp:-200, ctype:DUST
will not communicate to:
WIFI temp:-200, ctype:WATR
despite there similar temperature, however:
WIFI temp:-200, ctype:DUST
will communicate with:
WIFI temp:-200, ctype:DUST
due to there matching ctype and temp.

I like that idea! That means that adding a new element added will also add another 99 channels!

Freaking awesome!
Enough said.

i like, but it would be tedious.

dgreen

Not really.
Instead of heating wifi to 7800 degrees,
just change the ctype.

Yeah, this is one of the most innovative solution to the WIFI problem yet, I'm pretty sure this will be integrated.

I will be extremely happy once there are more WIFI channels, but won't it lag?
I often find myself needing over 200 wifi channels.

I agree, we do definitely need more wifi channels. But, nobody wants to use the console to individually set the ctype of each wifi you use, it requires finding the X,Y coordinates of each piece of wifi, which adds up to a lot of work.

There are better ways of doing this, one of the top of my head is Alt or Option-clicking a particle of wifi brings up a window similar to the sign editor, where a number 0-65535 would be typed in for each channel.

I think it would be effective if there was no heat limit on wifi. This would mean infinite or at least many more channels. Although, I'm still sure it would lag.

EDIT:
@dnerd
That would also be effective.
