Layers and layers
-
so the only thing that is missing in this game. And would add major uses is a layers feature. Layers as in normal drawing windows but the simulations stack ontop of each other. So you could have say a pixel screen on top. A keyboard ontop of that. And below everything else is the underlying electronics and circuitry. This could be extremely useful for making computers. The only limit would be how fast or slow the users computer is. So this would allow for a backgroubd/foreground, also spark would travel up and down allowing for transfer of data and signals.I think this will effectivly give powder toy a 3D feeling. Plz leave feedback

It's been suggested before, agreed with, but never implemented (besides the decoration layer). -

Suggested loads of times before.
1) Open TPT. Open an electronics save. Unpause. Let it do its thing. Look at the FPS.
2) Open TPT. Open an electronics save. Unpause. Let it do its thing. Look at the FPS.
3) Open TPT. Open an electronics save. Unpause. Let it do its thing. Look at the FPS.
4) Open TPT. Open an electronics save. Unpause. Let it do its thing. Look at the FPS.
5) Open TPT. Open an electronics save. Unpause. Let it do its thing. Look at the FPS.
If you did everything right and everything goes as expected, you should see the FPS count drop every time you opened a new window.
The same thing happens with layers. -

Running multiple instances will not cause a FPS drop due to multi-core systems, you can run as much instances as you have cpu-cores without huge fps drop. -

Just as Mniip said, synching is an issue with multi-core systems. Maybe one gets it done faster than the other, messing up the updates. You may never know what'll happen.
Basically, what you're suggesting, is 3D. Particle physics = slow. 3D particle physics = slower than slowing down a slow snail going uphill.
