or the ability make elements a bit like using lua to change them but leaves the original element unchanged


another idea:
name tempriture-set(I cant think of a better name)
in game name TMPS
what it does:
you canot change its heat at all anles you use heat/cool.
It still can cool/heat other particles.
It would be useful if you want to heat something to an exact tempriture and dont want it to ever cool down or heat up.
example If you want to heat some metl to 400 you could use some of this at 400 and the TMPS would stay at 400 and it would warm the metl up to 400.


another idea:
I have seen that moveing solids have been sugested sevral times but It is hard to code.
Instead you could have a particle that has a list of all the other particles it is atached to
the particle can only move if all the particles it is atached to can move.
It can only move up/down/left/right/diagonal and can not rotate.
It is a little hard to explain but it should be a lot simpler to code than the other sugestions.
It is also hard to think of an example as its a complex idea.
It would be useful for so many things like rockets that can move.
I know similer things have been sugested but I havent seen this sugested anywhere.
I also know people get anoyed at people who sugest moveing solids but this idea is different even though its called the same thing.
this idea is different to all the others because it
1)doesnt rotate
2)should be simple to code
3)desnt need any advanced physics only simple particle colision detection(that is alredy used in the TPT)


edit: thaught of another idea
small stickman like thing.like  a stickman but has compleatly different ways of moveing and hasnt got legs.
maby 4 dots high can jump 2 dots climb 1 dot or maby 10 high jumps 5 and climbs 1.
Not like other stickmen It is easyer to controll and doesnt jump around so mutch and doesnt bounce so mutch.
uses:
smaller chalange maps can be made (tunles can be smaller)
It is easyer to make maps for them.
some saves that alredy exist would be avble to fit these and cant fit the old versions.

edit2:
another idea:
deco layer textures
like sand efect but applise(sorry for the terible spelling) for all elements also custom textures could be used
example a brick texture that you could paint on bricks so they look like bricks
uses:
to paint things with textures so you dont have to do complex art which some people aren't good at.
there could be a alternate color scheme

Tell me what you think of the Ideas!
sorry if any have been sugested already.

edit:

changed my first Idea

1)I knew the language TPT is done in

2)if I had more time

3)if I knew how to do it I would probably of done it already.

however I will try to sometime successfully make a mod for TPT
