    *** ADD SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW WALLS HERE ***

    Hey Simon, I have a suggestion for a new wall.

    Me and my friend were talking about PT creations, and one thing I wanted to make required a wall that allows gases to pass, but does not allow particles or liquids to go through. I believe that if you make that a wall, many more complicated creations could be made.

    I hope to see this suggestion as a new wall in the near future! Thanks.

    Another good idea would be a wall that conducts temperature, but not particles, or conducts temperature and gas/liquid but not solid.

    Not sure if someone knows of a way to do this currently but a flow wall would be great. By that, I mean a wall where if a liquid or gas touches its sides, it will flow along in a direction set like how the fan is set. I've tried using the fan for this but particles just seem to get stuck.

    it would be cool to put a wall that is conductive but it dont produce light when powered, also it need to be black so we can make text with other walls like detector without putting ugly conections :P
    sorry for bad english cause ia m from chile

    All these ideas for walls are great. There is so much more potential with this game if we add more walls to the game. It's not just about the elements!

    A specific element detector. Lets say from a drop down menu your cursor hovers over. Such as:
    Detector - other walls go here
    Elements
    that
    wall
    can
    detect
    can
    go
    here
    for
    selection

    Wall 1 - Wall 2 - Wall 3 - Wall 4- Detector - Wall 5
    Photons
    Dust
    Oil
    Loops on and on...

    Not a bad idea, but once again, coding that can be difficult, also when you put it online it will be hard to detect which blocks what because everyone will have a different type of wall.

    there should be walls for every situation:
    current situations are:
    1{everything}
    2 air
    3 heat
    4 pressure
    5 gravity (black/white hole)
    6 gas
    7 fluid
    8 solid
    9 photons
    10 neutrons
    11 fire
    12 conductivity
    13 generation (of electricity)
    14 particle storage (E-hole)
    15 accelerate

    and the interactions are:
    transparent to 1 or 2 or 3, or to 2 and 3 6 and 7
    transparent (when connected to electricity) to 1 or 2 or 3, or to 2 and 3 6 and 7
    block 1 or 2 or 3, or to 2 and 3 6 and 7
    store 7 or 8 or 3, or to 2 and 3 6 and 7

    that's a lot of walls to create..

    i think there should be a wall that blocks are but not elements it would be great for my wind tunnel and other projects

    A simple wall that blocks pressure or velocity but blocks no particles would be nice. I don't know if this is really feasible, seeing as how velocity seems to be intrinsic to gravity.

    As it stands, I don't think there are any walls that permit Photons through by default.
    And while there is glass, being made of particles like it is, can be melted annoyingly.
