    Hi, I've been playing TPT for over 2 years. I learnt much, but I still have some questions about this game. Also, sorry, but my English isn't perfect. Ok, then. Let's start: 1. How the mechanism about getting on FP work? How saves gets there? 2. Why there's a limit of signs? Can it be more? Maybe up to 25. 3. Why peoples publish unfinished saves? (not "what I should build", but really unfinished saves) 4. (The similar questions) Why some users publish entire copied saves (without credit)? 5. How the first version was? How it looked? 6. How to fuse Iron? What and How many energy it need? 7. Tell me some intresting facts about TPT. That's all for now. Please don't hate.

    1. Not sure, but I think getting a high number of votes with a small delay it is.
    2. I don't know, I don't use signs too much.
    3. For feedback, but mostly they get a downvote.
    4. Those users are stupid and mostly get banned.
    5. You... can't?
    6. Go to the main page, under the download button there should be an "Older versions" link ir what.
    7. Type LOVE or LOLZ into the elements search bar. Interesting much?

    1.https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=20856

    4. Because they think nobody will find out.

    5. Oldest versions available here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Older.html

    6. Nuclear fusion in TPT can only fuse up to OXYG

     

    Yep. I can't answer all the questions :)

    Hello.
    1. It all depends on how many up-votes you get in the shortest time possible after uploading your save. Saves can only stay for a week on the front page, after that, the save gets removed from the front page automatically to allow other saves to take its spot.
    2. Because saves aren't supposed to be full of text.

      Lockheedmartin:

      6. Keep the number of logos and signs to a minimum. They not only slow the game down, but can also make saves unappealing for people to use.

      Save Uploading Guidelines, http://tpt.io/:17086


      However, you can still write text using solids to give instructions on how to use something, you can use a lua script for that like Texter (get the default fronts from this script: Texter default fonts).
    3. To get feedback (but they usually don't, sadly) or maybe because they aren't patient enough to finish the entire save and then upload it.
    4. Either because they want to earn votes with no efforts (usually doesn't work, they will get reported and down-voted right away) or because they want to store them somehow for later use without knowing that it's bad and there is a way to favourite them or to store them locally.
    5. List of really old versions of the game can be found here.

    Also there isn't a valid reason for anyone to hate on you :P

     Don't worry about making it look the best, it takes alot of time and practice. Its like riding a bike. My first save took me a couple hours and I still look back at it and wonder how I got this far. Start of editing and improving other peoples saves(just give credit, don't just copy and paste other peoples work without giving credit; give credit where it is due)
