Simplified Simulation Option

    How about a button that will make all the calculation like temperature/pressure/velocity and else be done only like one time on 4, alternating.
    I'm not sure if it is realistic to think such thing can be done, but if it can, it would probably be good for users with slow computers or in big saves.

    meaning like, one frame pressure would be calculated, then the next heat, then the next gravity or something?

    well, it COULD be done, but i dont know how much of an effect if would have, gameplay might be fast, but very choppy, and there would be uncountable glitches involved with a particle having to wait 4 frames before it can melt or fall or break.

    Fast But Choppy VS Slow, I would probably prefer fast but Choppy

    4 Frames... most peoples have 30 FPS... 5-7 Cycles in a second, that's enough...
    Plus it's an Option, if you are on a crappy laptop I think it would be cool to run rather well filled simulation at more then 4 FPS

    5 cycles in a second == 5 FPS

    In my opinion, this would make the FPS count look higher, but in reality, it would be exactly the same.

    I mean cycle as in each calculation have been done
