Stamps not snap-to-grid

    Right now when loading a stamp it snaps to a grid of about 4 pixels. This means that if a stamp isn't aligned properly, and you need to mirror / flip it, it'll never fit right.
    It's always off by a few pixels.(Image)

    I want the stamp to align with the element in the simulation.
    However, it's either one or four pixels off. So if I wanted to align them I'd have to draw it again.
    In this example that shouldn't be a problem, but with something like complex electronics / pixel art, it's crap to redraw it.


    Can it be made so the grid isn't 4 but 1 pixel, so we can align stuff better?

    Hold control and hit the arrow keys with the stamp out. :)

    Doesn't work with walls though..

    Okay....How about a TPT manual with all functions and hotkeys described? :P


    And perhaps put the lines that indicate which WIFI / portals are linked.. I miss it.

    Doesn't work with walls because walls are meant to block pressures and air velocities and ambient air temperatures (in other words, all calculations for the air). Air calculations are NOT done on single pixels, but rather on 4x4 pixel blocks. Therefore walls MUST align to 4x4 pixel blocks. It would go 16 times slower if it calculated on single pixels (4x4=16). That would be a deal-breaker for people who owned any computer other than the absolute latest fastest model of computer available.

    Press "D" and hover over WIFI.

    that is a really good idea!
    after almost a year and a half of TPT i still know that theres a few little things they added that i dont know about!
    if we could be sent via e-mail or have a download button on the website to a manual that will open in pdf or notepad or something everyone has! im gonna try and make one as we cant acses and copy the text that comes up when you start TPT!!!
