    In  my save 4-stroke engine, the wifi I used constantly turns tu broken metal under too much pressure. I am tired of having this problem, and would like to see an indestructable WIFI added to the next mod

    Next time, just post this to your original thread that you uploaded the save to.

     

    And by added to the mod, what do you mean?

    Oops, I was writing that with quite a head of steam. I meant to say the next update version

    Ah, ok. In my own personal opinion I have no idea why it is destructible now anyway, but thats not up to me. I do see what you mean, and I would support it except for the fact that most element changes never pull through and get added. There is already too much that could change, and break an old save.

    A really long time ago, WIFI wasn't destroyed by pressure. I had a stamp that relied on that even. But people complained that when you used a bomb to destroy a city, everything would be gone except for all the WIFI (which did actually happen, but I didn't mind). It was changed to the current method, which is actually probably better. Changing it back would annoy a lot of people and possibly even break things (but more likely just annoy them).

    You could put a lot of TTAN with a .tmp of 1 around the WIFI, that way pressure won't get inside.

    it would be cool if there was a flag to enable/disable breakable elements optionally, like wifi, aray,etc

     I have no clue either.

     I just don't see why we can't have seperate destructable and indestructable versions; like we have Breakable clone and regular clone. By the way, most of my creations that require WIFI don't have that much room around the WIFI itself, and since Titainium is conductive, Titainium being used as a pressure wall is out of the picture.

     

    Or we could add a Destructable/ indestructable choice to the Property Edit tool...

    use INWR instead, it won't conduct to TTAN but it will receive SPRKs from WIFI.

    my question is: what difference does it make? People use void in some saves. That doesn't break. People use life in some saves. Some of those dont break either.

     Your point makes no sense: If it is recieving sparks from WIFI, then it is conducting. Although INWR might work...
