The Powder Toy

What about dividing the sims into groups? I know there is already the little words at the top, but that is just searching for tags. Does anybody else thnk this is a good idea?

Dividing the simulations into tags is pretty much the only way to actually divide them into groups.

Look at BCB, the tags on the fanart act like grouping, which is basically what tags on Powder Toy does. Creating an entirely different "groups" feature would just be useless.

what im getting at is, anyone can put all the tags on their save, so it always comes up when it is searched. even if that is not what it is

Good point. But what sort of groups could you add? :P

epicksl

engines, reactors/powerplants, art, and more. However tags is the best way to do things

OnTheToilet

only a few categories with tags still present, it would just make a more direct type search
categories: engines, reactors, art, stickman, bombs, and lasers

savask and a few others have been working on a machine learning algorithm that categorizes saves for a month or so.
Expect it to happen.

Oh that would be nice. but no. i wont be expecting it be implemented

Not anytime soon though. They still have a very low success rating with it properly identifying a save in a category.

That's what low sample rates give one.
