    If no one ever shared their honest opinions at least a small portion of the time we are partaking in a conversation, we would all be living in a cave still. If you can't handle constructive facts than you shouldn't be posting threads. Its a good idea but you left no details. I have nothing to see this idea as anything other than junk mail and spam if you don't present details.

    Plastic was an element for a while (in beta, about v42).  I recompiled the last commit before it was removed.

    If plastic would have amelting point at about 500 degrees, I would like it..  Otherwise I am fine, But it eould be cool.

     

     

     

    Also, plastic is probably not added because the developers like watchingpeople fight over silly things.

    Look, Plastic really wasn't THAT useful when they added back then, that's why they removed it. If you come up with alot of uses for plastic THEN it might get added. It's not all about all the cool explosions and reactions in TPT, it's about creativity and the complicated contraptions people build.

    I dont see how you guys fight over adding the element... and not say why it should be in the game...

     

    I want ice-cream!

    why?

    I... I don't know...

     Please don't use all caps... And they removed it because it was breaking saves with oil, as it was made from oil.

    Judging by how far all these threads about plastic and other suggestions have gone through, I have determined three major points.



    If plastic is added it is because everyone is sick of these ungrammatical, unsupported and improperly reasoned suggestions.

    It's better to think of elements in TPT as totally different elements than those in real life. Think of diamond not as diamond IRL but in game as a totally different element that is indestructable.

    This is The Powder Toy, not The extremely atom for atom realistic, chemically and physically correct and fully scientific with all periodic elements and reactions included toy.



    EDIT: I now officially dislike the new editor. Even with it disabled, almost every bit of HTML I type is messed up.
