Trouble with Lua Explosive

    For some reason, this explosive is absolutely awful. I'd appreciate it if somebody could find the problem.

     No, Tony is the guy who asked me to design this element

    Tell me why this is awful, because of no pressure?
    Try preplacing the pressure value 200 with 200.00
    Maybe it will work.

    Oh, and shouldn't it be Tsar Bomba?

    who uses sim.part nowadays,far more bugs to me,and yeah,i tried doing the pressure thing once too,tho seems to error alot,dunno extractly how it works,tho,id prefer doing it like:

    local checklife = tpt.get_property("life",x,y)
    local checktmp = tpt.get_property("tmp2",x,y)

    if checklife >1 and checktmp >3 then
    tpt.set_property('tmp2', (checktmp - 1), x, y)

    for example(thats to auto remove tmp2 to 3)

    eazier to understand,and has almost all functions(but pressure,so far i know of) than sim.part,its a lil more decompressed tho,try looking up again how the pressure thing extractly works,also might be the part where it makes the elements it spits out ctyped lava

    sim.partProperty is exactly the same as tpt.get_property, and doesn't have any more "bugs". If you do know about any bugs, what are they?

    I would recommend using the new APIs when possible.

     The pressure works, but the explosion itself is touch-and-go. Sometimes it's flawless, sometimes I just get bits of solid gold everywhere. Tsar "Balla" because golden bomb, not nuclear.

    Try increasing the temp of GOLD.
