Particle compressor

    This is a very basic but logical idea, a compression tool, you know how you can compress DEUT? Change Its volume and stuff? This is what the tool does, of course only for non-solids.

     

    I'm sure this can be useful, especially when creating bombs, this would be the tool to use, compress a lot of powder and nitroglycerin, put some plutonium and vibranium, yeah would make a big bomb, occupying just a few pixels, most bomb test builds, and destroyable stuff overall are usually too big or occupy a lot of space for very powerful bombs to be placed, such as most nukes (usually) occupy a lot of space, thus can't be placed properly without clipping through the builds.

     

    I think this would very very useful, just my opinion really.

    Not all non-solids are meant to be compressible the way DEUT is though.

    I mean, there could be exceptions, or rules.

    I'm not sure what you're suggesting, it sounds like you mistake a feature of DEUT for a feature of the particle engine.

    The thing with DEUT is that it has no volume. DEUT particles give you the sense of dynamic volume by trading "density" information and creating other DEUT particles and destroying themselves in response to changes in it. This is a feature exclusive to DEUT and a few other elements (like MERC), not something every element has and which you can just adjust with a tool, the way you do with temperature by using HEAT and COOL.
