Joint/Support Suggestion

    Idea - 

    I would love to see Joints and supports for powder toy. My idea for joins is that they're a long line of the element that is parented to one or multiple particles. When those particles fall, they go down with it and can support weight depending on how any dot(s)/powder(s) it is parented to. For the parenting, you spawn a click the joint box and spawn it on a dot/powder, then you would proceed to connect it to another dot/powder. The ctype of that join would be what elemental property that joint will have.

    Why -

    Pros:

    -These joins/support would make for more realistic buildings/builds in TPT and make it much more diverse.

    Cons:

    -Not for beginners

    -More effort to add than not adding

    -Possible bugs with them

    Simon actually prototyped some stress simulation a while ago, but nothing like your suggestion it was.
