High-pressure explosive

    Hi, I have been thinking about it lately, and I have concieved the idea that a high-pressure explosive would be a good addition to the game. Something that makes a rapid burst of pressure, and flames aren't that important. The explosives in the game right now are mostly just flammable, and don't do much damage. A high pressure explosive could be A: more realistic (and yes I know this isn't "realistic toy", but it would be cool) and B: it would be useful. This could act as mines, wall demolishers, cannon charges, etc. Please tell me what you think!

     From the wiki:

    Trinitrotoluene

    Description: TNT, explodes all at once

    Type: solid

    Colour: earthy red

    Temp: 22.00

    A solid explosive similar to C-4, but creates more pressure and less fire.

     

    Do you want something with even more pressure?

    What i'm looking for is something with a lot of pressure, almost like C-4 is in REAL life. Only we wouldn't call it that. I understand how you could have interpreted what i meant to be like that, but yes. more pressure.

     If you want to do it the electronic way, you could always turn a high tempature line of PUMP on for a pulse.

     TNT doesn't create much pressure in this game.  a circle of TNT thats 50 or so pixels in diameter can't even break through a two-pixel brick wall

    really the only function TNT serves is that it shoots out fire in every direction.  same with nitro, gunpowder and rubidium.  these elements release a large puff of fire, but none of them really create explosions.  i agree with BOOMBOOMBOOM. it would be nice to have some good explosives in the powder toy

    Just make thunder(THDR) or damage(DMG) fall on anything to create more pressure than you ever need.

    if you want something with high pressure, make a modification that changes the max pressure, then get an explosive element to create that number of pressure when exploding. or just set fire and plasma to flammable=99999 and explosive=9999

    fireball showed us this idea a few days ago i think
