    Catelite, suggested an element called ''TIME'' and i was wondering if that's getting added or not?.

    Not to my knowledge. @mniip did some work on TIME, but I believe it needs a lot more work before it's anywhere near ready to be added. For one thing, I'm not sure that most things can be made to function correctly in fast time without basically making fast time run at normal game speed, and normal time run slower than normal.

    It is difficult to do properly, so structural stress is on hold until someone manages to implement it in a way that works well. All known implementations so far have had problems. I believe that when Simon attempted it, force only propagated downwards, so there was no stress in hanging masses. In my attempt, there was stress in hanging masses, but no moments or rotation (so stress in a cantilever was wrong).

    no, Catelite suggested it and mniip tried making it, but it had some bugs and it wasn't ever added

    no, a sort of working version was made, but it had some bugs with certain objects and Simon didn't want to release a buggy stress simulation thing and have to change it later.

    Also, 84.2 is already out, it's a beta. And as a rule, a new major version is made when a new element is added, so new elements might be added in 85.0?

    And I type really slow when tired and distracted, but i'll post this anyway

    It worked real well, but not with some elements, but that was a pity :/

    I actually fixed and compiled that for him much later. It didn't work too well at all. Simon's version (which was based on completely different code), and jacksonmj's version (which also was, and I think it better than Simon's) are better. Even those two versions still have a few problems

    I think the way it was disigned just had some problems like that (like gravity flickering and stuff)

     So, the question remains... will stress or time be implimeted in TPT anytime soon?
