PROP refinements

    I am surely not the only one that uses PROP to set the more obscure particle variables in TPT. However, when trying to make some complex WIFI/CRAY/FILT/DTEC/etc. creation it quickly gets very tedious to go into the drop-down menu, select temperature, then go back to the keyboard and type a number every time rather than having it 'remember' what you were previously editing.

    My suggestion is simple: make PROP stay on the most recently used setting between edits, so that making electronics is not so incredibly repetitive.

     

    Perhaps there should be a 'clone' tool as well, that samples one pixel and copies all of the non-type properties of this pixel to whatever the brush is applied to, but idk.

     Yeah I thought about some really complicated thing to fix it......but I agree.

    Theres already a overhauled PROP tool ready for the next release where you can use it like every other tool instead of only having the floodfill.

    It also now remembers what you typed last, that was part of the rewrite. So it's really nice now :). Just wait for the next tpt version.
    my mod does all of this already ;)

    so it's not even in the beta yet? (I'm running that instead since official release is broken on mac)

    What if alt-clicking or middle-clicking would clone all properties of a particle, instead of just the type?

    it's still kinda useful for pick-blocking though, maybe alt-shift/shift-middle click?
