idea: layers!
-
i have this awesome idea, layers
there would be in the bottom like pages and add page or layer and the bottom part of the void or edge would be the linker, like u place pscn in it and u see it in other layers to connect between them
this idea will allow the making of SUPER computers and mechanics that require alot of space
so like the main layer will show what u want to show and other layers in the background work on the stuff thats showing,
soo... for example: u made a cartoon with smooth animation and a million frames, the first layer shows the screen that displays the cartoon and the background layers are filled with frames and stuff that are working on the cartoon displaying
this is an example another one is like a super printer with mllions of wires etc...
the bottom void would have like a gradient that indicates the layers mode is on and the bottom edge will alloow the transmittin of aray and wires etc...
i would highly recommend this idea for it is the future of mechanics in this game,
:D so would u like this idea?

....No.
Why?
1. It would make one save take a incredibly long time to load if you open it, as there's multiple layers to LOAD in one save. It would take double or triple the time to load one save, depending on how much the screen is filled.
2. Laggy, Just imagine, fusion reactions occuring on every single layer? Efficient fusion bombs would make TPT lag and crash TPT...

Jacob1's mode has a super crude version of layers but they don't work as they need to.
Try opening 7 TPT windows, opening some bomb save and running them all at once.Edited once by jacob1. Last: 2nd May 2019 -
solution
update that improves rendering quality or just have a GOOD graphics card
and be pateint to open saves -.- sides there is always a way to make them load faster, since powder toy is just a small program then it can be imporved alot done
that doesnt sound so good, thats why i suggest to make a stable and official version of my idea
huh?

my "layers" in my mod aren't even called layers ... I call them tabs, because you can have multiple simulations open at once. They are glitchy, for example you can still only have one save name open, and some settings persist when you change tabs. So tabs aren't really layers
@User_58758 (View Post)
we can't improve rendering quality or make it load faster that much ... we have it as fast as we can right now (although slight improvements are possible). Also, he meant loading as in save size, that's limited by internet speed anyway. And simulating more than is on the screen right now wouldn't really work. Some people don't get very much fps in tpt right now, they couldn't take this or run tpt at all with this. Even adding the ability to have extra layers would make the game much slower.Edited once by jacob1. Last: 2nd May 2019 -

/\ This sounds like a job for THE SUPER COMPUTER!!! (or quantum computer?)
-
oh god
its just a simple idea
NO 3d
NO super computer
just a bunch of tabs/ layers that work like multiple connected saves to make 1 whole save
it can be so that u have to download the save or something i dun know
ASIDE from slow and super cuz anything is possible
is the idea a good one or not? ASIDE from super computer and slow

For the last time, No.
Making layers in different planes (We already have X and Z, now add Y) is making it 3D, you don't understand do you? Your projecting a 3D game into a 2D interface, take Dwarf Fortress for example, it might look 2D, but you can go through "different layers" of the map and get deeper into the cavern layers, which is something similar to adding layers to TPT, so once again, no.
