Acid shouldn't catch on fire, Annoying

    i find that almost every use i have for acid always ends up very messed up because acid always seems to catch fire before its job is done.

     

    i know that sometimes acid can catch on fire in real life, but not all acids do that.

     

    i would like it if acid did not catch fire, and i believe this would be an improvement to Powdertoy.

     

     

    thank you.

    not all acids do
    some do
    like boric acid
    assume tpt acid = loosely simulates boric acid
    ---
    On side note, if there was no challenge in tpt (ie, things didn't explode unexpectedly) the game wouldn't be interesting.

    i get you, i understand, but there are already over 10 other things in the game that can randomly get set on fire out of nowhere, and when i finally decide i want to use acid, and not TNT, the acid blows up too; before it can even melt through anything.

     

     

    acid should just be free to be acid, not some flammable oil

    Again, it's just one of those things. ACID is an original element, and changing it would just cause lots of problems.

    what problems would it cause?

     

    simply put, if acid was exactly the same, except that it did not burn, i think it would be a massive improvement to the game.

     

     

    i also rarely ever see a save with acid in it, i feel as if people have abandoned it because its just another OIL or  Desl

    create a file called "autorun.lua" (make sure it isn't autorun.lua.txt), and inside of it, put tpt.el.acid.flammable = 0

    Now, you have acid permanently not flammable, and everyone gets what they want. Just remember saves you make with this type of acid will act differently to the people who still have it flammable.
