Good Powder toy stuff idea

    I like the sound of object based gravity so if you have a circle of dust more dust gets attracted to it (kinda like how real gravity works.) That would be very nice so I don't have to use gbomb

    No.

    Too hard.

    (Excuse me for the rudeness, but this has been rejected mutiple times)

    Xetalim is right, but a bit brusque. This idea has been suggested many times before, and it is completely understandable. The only problem is the fact that most of TPT would be messed up by this. Most saves would be broken.


    The only positive thing I can see from this is that it would form celestial body-like formations when gravity is turned off. This can already be done placing GPMP, turning on Newtonian Gravity, and setting the temp to how much gravity you want.


    One arguement you may want to make is the fact that it can be made into an option, like Water Equalization or Newtonian Gravity. The fact is, 50-75% of those options are, for the most part, useless. Sorry, but this would only serve to clutter.


    If you are suggesting this to make TPT more realistic, well the game is called The Powder Toy. Not The Realistic Powder Toy. Ideas based around realism don't make it anymore, if they ever did at all.

     i am only disapointing with th final part

     The powder toy is 99.999^(100^100)% realistic maybe from what i see

     the name doesn't matter if it is realistic powder toy or the powder toy

     making the game more realistic makes the game more important and fun

     if really tpt is 100% realistic then all scientists will use it making it more important to use

    its a toy not a serious science tool.  there are real world applications which scientists already use.  powder toy is a pittance to specialized SCIENCE tools.   and no, I am sorry, but powder toy is maybe 10% realistic at best.

     TPT isn't even close to realistic. Light travels slower, chemical reactions are a bit twisted, etc. If TPT was very realistic, it would be absolutly boring. Reactions would take hours to complete and certain chemicals won't even react as we see right now.

    you have a point i know that just compare between the positive and negative side

    light travels slow there is no nature pressure melt points are not the same as in real life diamond is unbreakable there is no walls in real life etc

    so after my researches TPT is not 10% it is more than 50% and less than 70% without the graphics if you want to count graphics then it is more than 5% and less than 15% if you have any other idea then i want to see it :)

     It's not even 50-70%. Your research probably doesn't even touch base on theories of electron configuration and other facts that make reactions happen.

     

    I am 100% sure we're going to make it anymore realistic than it is now. There's too much to cover with chemistry and physics.

    Chemistry. Don't try. I tried. It didn't work.

     take a paper then divide it to two columns one is for positive side and one for negative side the write the positive sides and negative sides then decide how much useful/realistic it is maybe you will get lower or higher
