    Because no one has created it yet.

    Applying and drawing the lines of force is somehow hard and slow (check for all poles in the sim and add them all for the net force for each pixel in the sim)

    If someone made it cool. Just that it requires lots and lots of calculations and there are other things that need to be done.

    because of the fact that magnet would a be a s*** element which would pull barely anything since we have few powderized metals. and we are not going to implement moving solids due how buggy they are

    I think that magnet would slow TPT because of all the calculations needed!!!
