Adding powders commonly used in science
-
I'm simply playing around with TPT. I'm not actually learning much out of it. However, I would someone to add common materials that are used in science experiments, like:
- corn starch (solid: SCST, powder: CSTH)
- food coloring (FCLR)
- sugar (SUGR)
- vinegar (VIGR)
- baking soda (BKSD)
- flour (FLOR)
The list goes on for a while, but this is just a suggestion. With this, I can actually make chemistry experiments for fun without needing to buy materials on demand. Maybe chemistry teachers might use it, but we'll wait and see the outcome. Any ideas? Anything more to add on to the list? -
You need to specify. All of these seem pretty useless to me. They aren't even really science experiments...more like "10 fun things you can do with kitchen objects"
-
You can achieve food coloring with the decoration editor. As far as the other things you mentioned, they are all pretty useless. Some of them have been suggested other times and have been rejected.

I doubt that teachers would use those materials in a simulator considering they are quite cheap to purchase, if they were going to use TPT for teaching, chances are, it's because of the semi-realistic plutonium fission reaction. -
Lol agreed this would be the worst way to teach already confused kids about real world applications between materials and different chemical reactions

You just can't exPlain these things to students using an unrealistic powder simulator. And then when they find out what TPT is really about..... ;) -

Well plutonium IRL does explode when compressed or in contact with neutrons, if we just assume the PLUT particles are hollow spheres of plutonium, it could work somewhat well as a demonstration. -
BIZR can be used as food coloring I think.
Vinegar is ACID
For lightweight dust like flour we have DUST.
We still don't have a base like baking soda to neutralize acid though, but I'm not sure how useful that would be. -

Well Vinegar is an acid, Baking soda is an alkali/base.
ACID is an acid
LRBD is an alkali/base
So it can simulate it, just on a really more extreme scale. -
That's what I call an explosive demonstration (Liquid Rubidium) just don't drop your cup of water onto a broken vial of that haha

I do understand that the first reply would start the whole conversation, but it's a suggestion. The problem with TPT is that all of the elements featured have very extreme results, such as "explode on pressure", "make a big crater on impact", "boil into a terrible amount of water vapor", "flammable, makes big flames in contact with a little tiny pixel of fire", stuff like that. But, what if we can get into the theme of "put sugar, salt, vinegar, and baking soda into the giant pot of boiling water and see what happens"? If people can think about this idea with the said theme in mind, then surely someone can be able to include this in the game.
