Good Powder toy stuff idea

    Okay... whelp, here we go. positives: realism. I don't see any others. negatives: Slow light. Boring reactions. Too many elements. Cluttered elements. Useless elements. Save breaking reactions. Save breaking physics. If there are any I have forgotten, then forgive me. I think there is a LOT of them.

    My method is my own education as a Chemical Engineering major and a textbook. I think having TPT being realistic would be VERY boring and complex to everyone else. Chemistry involves lots of math and theory involved with electrons and how the charges interact.

     

    Otherwise, I don't think we should be arguing this realistic idea. It's been argued before and stayed the same. The Powder Toy was not built to be realistic.

    List of things that are unrealistic in TPT:

    Protons

    Electrons

    Neutrons

    Fluid dynamics

    Mass

    Gravity

    Stickman

    Law of conservation of mass (CRAY)

    Electricity (IRL it is instant) (no DC/AC in TPT)

    Virus

    Acid

    Piston (IRL it uses compressed gas)

    Pump (IRL moves stuff around)

    Walls

    electricity also no ground/return, all circiuts in tpt are open.  IRL every single electronic save would do absolutely nothing.

    I don't know about you, but the OP should request lock.

     i know that

    Electrons

    Neutrons

    Acid

    Piston

    are realistic

     i was thinking of that and i found out that you are completely right after all

    Pistons aren't realistic in TPT...
    so is NEUT...
    so is ELEC...
    so is a lot of other things.

    TPT is a --GAME-- (not a research tool) that makes hydrogen if neutrons collide with electrons.
    Don't try to make it realistic. You are doomed to fail.

    Guys, this thread has nothing to do with how realistic TPT is. He just wanted particles to sort of "emit" Newtonian gravity.

    I tested that myself and it is easily possible. Making it work good might be a little harder though. The scale just doesn't work right, with normal gravity pulling particles downward it doesn't make much sense. I did get some WATR to form a circle around some DMND before DUST (which is apparently pretty heavy) pulled it away. The DUST also seemed to form a little ball, kind of like what happens with gravitons (GRVT) in my mod.
