    I want to make a pipe manually, and I followed the Wiki's instructions, but It did not work. How do I do this?

    Which wiki guide did you use? There's one obscure feature we removed that allowed making custom PIPEs, but I can't remember what it was. I think something to do with setting temperature.

    The much better way involves PROP. Place down some PIPE, then use prop tool to set ctype to 2 (red), 3 (green), and 4 (blue). Remember that red passes to green passes to blue, to set direction properly.

    Then make the walls. It won't generate walls if you set ctype manually.

    Oh. It was the first... And I. Don't. Know how to use PROP.

     

     

    EDIT: Off topic, but are STKM supposed to move powders around on contact?

     

    EDIT2: Also to make a black hole, how many layers of particles in one pixel are needed?

    PROP is very easy to use. Just select it, it should be intuitive. Select "ctype", input 2. Then draw the property onto the PIPE like you would draw any other element.

    Walking on powders doesn't make it move, i'm not sure what you mean. The center of its head is where the actual "STKM" particle is, that particle follows most of the same rules as other particles, it doesn't like to be in the same place as other stuff.

    6 particles in one spot makes a black hole

    No, I'm gonna link my save so you know what I mean.

     

    EDIT: Also I can't stack elements? I want to stack 2 for a creeper.

    Ok.

     

    EDIT: My stkm won't spark metal. Do stkm spark normal metal, or BMTL?

    AFAIK, stickmen don't spark metal.
    They spark normal METL.
