    I am really not too happy about this change. when you compress particles, they form a BHOL!!! this ruined one of my saves (a tutorial on compression) as well as compressed bombs and EMPs i had saved as stamps!!! i imagine that other peoples saves don't work now because of this, and i am wondering if this could be reversed!

    It can be resolved if you compile your own modified version.

    1. Learn C
    2. Write C
    3. Learn Powder Toy mechanics
    4. Write Powder Toy mechanics
    5. Compile successfully (Good luck with that)
    6. Profit

    1. Any save will work but modded saves will be discouraged because vanillas wouldn't be able to open them.

    They may be able to open them, but their games use the same set of rules as official, so they would just get black holes on load.

    I would also like this to be reversed as it is:

    1. Unrealistic

    2. Annoying

    3. Black hole is in the particle menu

    It's too late, the chances of it being reversed are almost none now that almost every bug with it was fixed. Also, those are bad reasons. It's realistic, because compressed things like stars can turn into BHOL. It's not annoying, what can you possibly do that doesn't involve the console that creates BHOL? If there is a way, it can be fixed. Also, what exactly does the third reason mean? Almost every element is in a menu somewhere.

    What he means is that there would be no reason to create BHOL because one can create it via the parts menu, contrary to PSTS and the likes.
