    MusicalSamurai:


    I did use the search function and nobody seemed to realise it takes Protons and Electrons to make Hydrogen!
    It was gamax92 that made me realise what was implied in the end but thankfully this is all cleared up now.


    Search better, it was suggested multiple times for multiple reasons.

    Firstly I'd like to point out that the young learn from games, hence why my little brother thought Neutrons and Electrons made Hydrogen, I had to correct him, then I posted my original post.
    so on that point, you need to realise that not "everyone knows"...

    Secondly, I did realise there are smart people on this forum, in fact I hoped for it, hence why I asked my question here.
    If I wanted an uneducated answer I'd have asked some random person on the street...

    As for Logic (which my whole life is based on) the saves, simply renaming "Neutron" to "Proton" won't break them.

    Either way, You need to realise what you say before you say it instead of trying to belittle me.

    Thank you for the bitching, I hope you felt better afterwards too.

    Take care all.

    It won't break saves, it would break logic itself... Because they're neutrons after all, even that their behavior is unnatural for them... They initially were neutrons. That Neutron + Electron = Hydrogen reaction was added recently, when electrons were added.

    Ok well anyways... Im sure Simon is aware that this does not happen in real life and hes coding the proton to fix this as we speak. The neutron/electron thing was more than likely just a place taker until the proton exists...

    Finalflash50:

    Normally I don't care about realism, but it would be nice if the atomic elements worked the way they were supposed to.

    @FinalFlash50 Exactly what I was thinking!

    A lot more reactions would be made possible with the correct behaviour of the atomic elements but it doesn't sound like an easy task.
    Although it wouldn't be too hard to look up each element you want to make realistic and update it with the facts from Wikipedia.

    I'm sure he is aware too and I accept that the program is as it is. I can only be patient now to see what is brought to us in upcomming versions of TPT.

    BTW it does defy realism since - Games arnt supposed to be realistic so being realistic in a game forces you to defy the concept of realism.
