    I'm not sure where you are finding these reactions. I did a search and this is C5:
    https://github.com/jacob1/TPT-Alchemy/blob/9a593ce11536e2e683bc64a698399c0805ce77a1/src/simulation/elements/BANG.cpp#L67

    LN2 near TNT makes C5. (PT_LNTG is "liquid nitrogen", aka LN2)


    ETRD surrounded by BCLN should make PBCN:

    Btw I'm just using the search bar on github to find these, otherwise I would have no idea.

    Sorry to bother everyone with this, but I am have the hardest time creating wire (WWLD).  I understand it is supposed to be Life and Electrode but nothing I am doing seems to be working.

     

    I have done the 8x ETRD and 1 life in the middle (GOL, HLIF, and ASIM: as those are the only ones that work), and nada. The life particles just disappear  Am I missing a step?

     Ah, i was using the reaction map from page 14 of the discussion here. Thank you, this is a great help. unfortunately, my game closed due to low battery so i lost all my progress.

    The reaction map on page 14 is in reverse. So, under the "C5" category it lists what C5 can make, not what makes C5. It's really silly to make a map like this, but that's how it is.

    Also yeah, older versions of TPT were not great at saving powder.pref often. They wouldn't save it at all until you closed the game, in some cases. Unfortunate you lost your progreess.

    That is a strange reaction. Try COAG or STAN so that the life stays put.

     Yeah i was looking at it in the right way but the recipe for it was clearly wrong. under tnt, it shows + CLFM = C5. Anyway, if github's more accurate, I'll use that. Speaking of which, What and where are you searching to find the recipes rather than what the element can make?

    The search bar up top searches within the repo you are in. So if you search for PT_WIRE, then reactions for WWLD come up.

    (This may require knowing that certain elements like WWLD have different identifiers, WWLD used to be called "WIRE" and we don't change the internal string identifier.)

     Thank you for the information.  I must be missing something, because COAG and STAN do absolutely nothing (i.e. no particle creation.)  Even though all of the icons are available, as I stated, it appears that only GOL, HLIF, and ASIM are the only ones that work/do anything.   I wonder if there is something else I must do to unlock the usage of the other Game of Life usages, I won't give up.

    How odd, that must be a bug. I don't know what causes it though.

     No worries, after much trying I had an epiphany and it worked.   I did a line of INST into a CRAY with a GOL ctype.   I then setup an ETRD machine in the firing line.   I sparked the instant, and BOOM.   WWLD is created.
