Powered Portals

    Here's why I think powered portals would be a great addition to the game.

    >Powered portals allow the users to control the levels and flow of exsiting elements. Currently, the only way to do this is by creating or destroying mass.

    >Using Powered Portal Out means the user isn't can control the flow easily, and specfically. Powered Portal Out would be a convenient way to limit output.

    >The same goes for Powered Portal In. You can adjust the amount of elements let into that portal, so input can be controlled.

    What do you think of powered portals?

    I only found two threads on it, and one was a list of random suggestions, and the other seemed to get support from catlite, but it was locked so I made a new thread. The lack of rejection seemed like a good motivator for this thread. I just wanted to see if the support for the idea was good.

    Put the powered wall in front of the portals
    should work!

    True, but then it takes up too much space, and it is hard, if not impossible to adapt existing saves to fit this mechanic.

    I agree with tommig. This has no uses, as it can already be achieved.
    Yes, it may take up more space, DEAL WITH IT.

    Regretably (if it is even a word) I'm going against you. Because in this day and age Size matters. We have limited space and it is a useful idea. It has thousand of uses and can be deco'd over. Basically the smaller the better.

    ads999:

    Because in this day and age Size matters. We have limited space

    Size has always mattered.
    TPT has had this much space since what, version 25? Nobody here with over 1 brain cell would call it limited.
    The main argument against useless elements (such as this) is that it can already be done withthe elements we have, right?
    As much as I would like this element, it can already be done.
    So, ads999, if a noob suggested a liquid only filter element, would you agree? No, you would say it can already be done with walls. Same with this.
    I rest my case.
Locked by Catelite: Almost dramaaaaa
