My processor is very strong

    Hello, as the title says, my processor is very strong. Unfortunately, the game only uses 30% of its power. Because of that, I can't make the explosions I would like to make. I hope someone brightens my eyes.

    Is this meant to be a joke, or are you serious? Because as you probably know, TPT is singlethreaded. This is unlikely to change any time soon.

     I bought a better processor to receive this answer :(

    I would have been happier if you said that you only use single core, not singlethreaded. (XD)

    I have a 3700X, and I get way better performance than my old computer. A better processor will still help.

    There's some stuff that's multithreaded, like Newtonian Gravity, but that's the only multithreading we have that has any effect on performance.

     Okay, it just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth that the game uses 30% of maximum power *-*

    I don't think anyone has ever bought a better CPU to play powder toy. With your more powerful cpu, you can do many things much faster. I'd be happy with it regardless.

    What CPU do you have exactly? It's probably more powerful than 90% of TPT players if it's what you say it is.

    I didn't exactly buy to play powder toy, I just really like your game and decided to try it again with the strongest processor. I'm not just going to tell you my processor, I'm recording a video right now and I'm going to send it to you.

    Did you buy an AMD FX? They're... not great CPUs. In fact they're known for being.. less than stellar, to put it simply. It seems you have a 3 core one.
