New PHOT Idea

    Sorry, this might be one of my crazy ideas, but what about re-designing PHOT? Since people keep asking about gamma rays, infra-red, etc, that kind of light, why not create a PHOT section in the menu? One line completely dedicated to PHOT just to straighten up things when we get new "light" elements. I don't really know any programming at all, so I won't be able to make a mod :(. But yes, a PHOT menu would add more realism to the game! I've been thinking about some physics work here, but I think it's a bit (maybe extremely) too hard to program ;).

    All new PHOT suggestions are simple PHOT with different colors that possibly have different effects. It's actually quite easy to make them.

    I like this idea-

    but i think instead of a seperate menu in the menus, I think you should just drag the curser over the PHOT in the radioactives section and another menu pops up above PHOT with all 7 different types of radiation. I think this would be the most logical thing to do.

    @therocketeer , well, that would be a nice idea too! The sidebar is getting pretty lengthy :/

    I've wanted this for ages too, hopefully it will be done when the time comes that the devs will have nothing better to do lol.

    If you are waiting for that, It'll be awhile.
    We are currently working on a major port to C++, but we may still have time.

    A major port?
    For what? And what will this port do?

    Do you even know what a port is @the-fall?
