regarding TTAN

    Am i the only one dissapointed?

     

    Not tryign to insult or anything, you guys did a nice job, but it should block the pressure just like the walls, by making it "bounce" off, not just making it go stuck.

     

    I was trying to make a NBLE gas pressure reactor using dust, energy wall, TTAN and NBLE, but this ruined it as the pressure is not allowed to go out of the TTAN pipe i made. Its fairly unrealistic...when i saw it in Beta i thought you guys would fix this before releasing it...

    ttan blocks pressure on the block map
    make your pipe wider
    (edit: who put a "," here? did i?)

    Yeah, this is the reason for why we never made one before, you can't modify pressure with greater resolution than the 4x4 blocks of pressure the game already uses without overhauling basically this fundamental part of the game.

    My pipe is pretty wide, allowing pressure to flow through, and is only 1 block tick because i noticed that if you do TTAN more than 1 block thick it just blocks pretty much about everything...

     

    And yeah i noticed the game uses 4x4 squares, but the problem is that it is leaking like 8x8 and blocking like 8x8. it should only block this area...

     

    Making example save soon.

    Press G to show the grid. The lines mark the upper row and the left-most column of each 4x4 block. See if one block is totally uncovered. There's your issue.

    Oh right, 1px walls do leak a bit. :(

    I understand how you need to block the whole 4x4 with 1 pixel because of the system you guys made, but it isnt letting even the middle air get out, and when it does, the quantity is just so freaking small.

     

    I'm guessing that's because all pressure is being trapped when it goes to the sides, because those are made of TTAN.

     

    Maybe repelling pressure with the same speed it enters the pressure grids with TTAN on them instead of making it get stuck could be a temporary fix?

     

    EDIT: Also i believe this shouldn't have gotten moved because even though i don't speak using the programming variables and functions of the source, there is an idea of what could be done on code to fix this using what i say, with an example being the text above...

     

     

    EDIT2:

    Someone should see my suggestion marked in bold above.
