Why does everyone hate on protons?

    We have neutrons, we have electrons.
    Why don't we have protons?
    If there is a reason, can someone tell me?

    What uses does it have? Except making elements.

    sounds logical to have, but it has no reason, so it has no purpose.

    If you read the previous suggestion threads, we have not said once that we hate it.
    Also, I'm pretty sure there's already been a thread asking this about a month ago...

    The answer is simple: The element has no uses. Why should we add a useless element? We have a limited amount of elements, so why would we want to waste a slot with something useless? IMO, electrons are useless too. I guess they were added 'cause noobs were getting hacked off. I knew that everyone would be like 'yay electrons', then go 'wait protons'.
    Electrons have done more bad than good.

    IMO protons would have a use besides making hydrogen. They would also be able to change particles into other types of particles. Coal would become nitrogen, nitrogen would become oxygen, uranium would become plutonium, etc. Basically the same effect as adding a proton to an atom IRL.

    Logicaly it would be more sensable to have it change to the next element in powder toy, not the periodic table. there are hardly any "elements" in powder toy.

    untill you come to that element that changes from something to something completly different XD



    but there are no uses for protons and if no one comes up with good uses for them it's going to be very unlikely to add them. You can't see element changing as a use cause neut does that too.

    hope you understand now why not adding them

    you could maybe give protons a ctype that changes it's second ctype to the first thing it hits and then changing to ctype of other particles that it collides with.is there a way to fit 3ctypes in a single particle/element?

    you could make like a proton laser that turns every particle it hits into plasma or fire.

    If you use ctype, tmp and tmp2, you can fit three 'ctypes' into one element. tmp and tmp2 would use element numbers.
