    I wanna know, what is the coolest, most sophisticated thing you have made on the Powder Toy? I made a automatic flamethrower that gets power from gas. Yeah, not too complex, but still...

    If you can back up your claims of awesome creations with a link to the creation on either the server or as an image, please supply one!

    Thanks!

    Disappearing goo! I know its less complicated, but it was awesome in the old one. Just search "Disappearing Goo by LM".
    Another was a breakable glow stick. Again search Breakable Glow Stick. That's all I can remember for mechanical stuff. I was too focused on other stuff at the time on PT.

    I created an engine in the original edition of powder. It was single cylinder and prety slow but it worked. I have made several (better) versions including an engine that can run on all of the fuels. i also made one with a spark plug intead of my previous ignition methods.

    ive got a new idea to make the binary to decimal converter smaller by a factor of 3. now, im checking whether a 5 bit version is possible (problems due to size and topology) or not

    I made a wonderful city and village with trees and happiness everywhere with people and trees and buildings and trees and hills and people...

    and then I nuked them all.

    and then I realized that I didn't save

    I hate it when you make something so great, then accidentally clicked new project. Happened to me a lot when banking.

    My first creation when I was still new to PT was a Stone <-> Lava generator. Basically, stone would convert into lava and back into stone, infinitely. Took a while, but totally worth it.

    Right now, a project called "Overcomplication". Search it on the server.
    It's just a series of obstacles that finally lights up my name at the end. Completely pointless, but fun to watch.
    Unfortunately, it keeps breaking in every version update, so I keep having to fix it.

    Okay, I'll search for it now!

    Same here! I have made awesome creations, only to ruin it all by clicking the reset button!
