The Elements that could Change TPT!

    The following ideas could possibly make The Powder Toy
    better (In my opinion and hopefully yours as well).



    ABREVIATION: IHTD
    NAME: Instantaneous Heat Transference Device
    CLASS: Powered Materials
    COLORS: Light LED Blue when Active
    Dark LED Blue when Inactive
    ELEMENTAL REACTIONS:
    PSCN Activates
    NSCN Deactivates
    SING and AMTR Destroys it
    INFOMATION: Instantly transfers the TEMP of one element to another without loss of heat
    during transference. (It instantly transfers TEMP from Element-to-Element like
    INST instantly transfers SPRK from PSCN to NSCN)
    It will only transfer HEAT/COLD to SPECIFIED elements.
    PHOT travels through it when ACTIVE, and gets REFLECTED when it's INACTIVE.
    Indestructible to all elements except SING and AMTR.

    EXAMPLE (Here's how it would function):
    To use it, you make a line of IHTD. Choose BRCK and click the left end of IHTD, and place
    1 BRCK particle on the End
    (This lets it know that it will ONLY transfer the TEMP to that particular element when it
    comes into contact with it. It's set the same PCLN is when you click on it with another
    element chosen.).
    Then choose HLIF, click the right end of IHTD and also put on the end so it touches.
    Make a simple PSCN/NSCN switch then spark the PSCN. The IHTD should turn Light LED Blue and
    the BRCK should turn into LAVA.
    Choose OIL and spawn a few particles over IHTD. It won't ignite OIL.

    USES:
    Can HEAT and COOL Lasers BETTER and more EFFICIENTLY then using Life directly while also as
    like a Heat Proof Barrier to other element.
    Can heat Photons travaling throught it if it set and can possilbly make near 9,000 degree
    lasers with ease.
    Can be used in Factories, Nuclear Power Plants, Guns, Cities, Bombs and anything else
    creatable to Heat, Melt, Liquify, Evaporate, Expand, Cool, Freeze, Solidify, and Condense
    specified materials.


    ABREVIATION: WIHT
    NAME: Wireless Instantaneous Heat Transference Device
    CLASS: Powered Materials
    COLORS: Light LED Purple when Active
    Dark LED Purple when Inactive
    ELEMENTAL REACTIONS:
    PSCN Activates
    NSCN Deactivates
    SING and AMTR Destroys it
    INFOMATION: Wirelessly and Instantly transfers heat from one element to another without
    loss of heat during transference.

    EXAMPLE (Here's how it would function):
    Set the elements on the ends like you would with PCLN.
    IHTD Channels are set just like WIFI and Portal Channels are set.

    WIFI, PRTI, and PRTO all have a start TEMP of 22.00 degrees and a 100 degree gap in-between
    channels for a LIMIT of 99 Channels Each (101 if the Negative degrees are included) which
    totals to 297 Possible Channels (303 if Negative degrees are included).

    COMPARED TO (IF POSSIBLE)

    IHTD will have a Base TEMP of 0.00 Degrees and a 0.10 degree gap in-between
    channels for a total of 10,000 Channels (12,700 if Negative TEMP are included)
    *That's way more than 297 channels*

    USES:
    Can HEAT and COOL Lasers BETTER and more EFFICIENTLY then using Life directly while also as
    like a Heat Proof Barrier to other elements.
    Can heat Photons travaling throught it if it set and can possilbly make near 9,000 degree
    lasers with ease.
    Can be used in Factories, Nuclear Power Plants, Guns, Cities, Bombs and anything else
    creatable to Heat, Melt, Liquify, Evaporate, Expand, Cool, Freeze, Solidify, and Condense
    specified materials.

    It can do everything IHTD can do, but Wirelessly (and Possibly Better!)




    ABREVIATION: PSLF
    NAME: Positive Life
    CLASS: Tools
    COLORS: Blue
    ELEMENTAL REACTIONS: NA
    INFORMATION: Increases the life of the element it's used on.
    Saves time that would be wasted from setting the life of elements using the console.
    USES:
    Can be an Animation Creators best friend.
    Can be used for tons of LIFE related creations and ideas




    ABREVIATION: NGLF
    NAME: Negative Life
    CLASS: Tools
    COLORS: RED
    ELEMENTAL REACTIONS: NA
    INFORMATION: Decreases the life of the element it's used on.
    Saves time that would be wasted from setting the life of elements using the console.
    USES:
    Can be an Animation Creators best friend.
    Can be used for tons of LIFE related creations and ideas

    Thanks for reading. I hope at least one of my suggestions or ideas make it into TPT!

    Let me know what you think!

    Wrong section.

    I see it was moved.
    Also, these all will never be implemented and have little/no use.

    But, you did set out your elements and ideas alot better than most not-so-good suggestions, so well done for that! :D

    Moved to Feedback, since Creations is a forum meant more for advertising your stuff really, not making suggestions.

    First of all, I can't tell a difference between wireless and not-wireless instant heat transfer. You could just make regular heat transfer element have channels, and it'd be wireless. Having two elements for it would be nothing short of silly.

    Secondly, we already have extremely efficient ways of heating and cooling other elements. Making an element like this would only rob the fun out of trying to design machines to do this more effectively. It'd be like making an element that splits salt from saltwater, what's the point of having purifying machines then? =/ At the same time, remote control heating can easily be accomplished by using two portals and a few resistant particles that adhere to gravity, but it's not really a good idea for heating up mass photons.

    ...Also, using a Life tool for drawing in life view, to make animations is not at all a bad idea. o_o

    But, it would be nice if I weren't so certain that there were no other uses for it. =/

    I'd support the Life tool. It's a great idea.

    Suggested before, then again, you can't see the element suggestions easily unless you mess around a bit... BUT you can see that topic if you use the search bar.

    You have a go at him for re-suggesting an element, but if he were to necro the old topic, you'd have a go at him. How's a fellow to get his ideas across?

    Hey, a lot of elements are made specifically to simplify things, remember DLAY? It's kinda odd how when a random guy suggests something that reduces the work required to do something, that excuse has been used wayy too often.

    I could see some uses for these elements, but I guess someone will just end up saying "nah, it'll take the fun outta making _____"
