Idea: inactive close
-
sometimes I am playing the powder toy and get distracted.
Then I had an idea! if the user doesn't touch anything for say, five Minutes, the the powder toy will close.
this will definitely save a lot of computer ram and GPUs and memory.it can be turned on or off in the settings tab

Some saves take longer to do their thing than others. 1-

I have a habit of pressing '~' every time I switch to another window. This brings up the console, which stops unnecessary CPU usage, because it doesn't have to update or render particles. Then it's ESC to get back into the game. You could try starting a habit like that.
This feature by itself would cause people to lose work, if it closed the game while they were working on something. I think a better option would be to display a popup after some amount of inactivity (same effect as opening console, which is better than pausing alone).
But I'm still not sure that is required. -

Yes, this can definitely be done by Lua. Closing the game, and bringing up a popup.
os.exit() closes the game. This is a built in Lua function.
