How to enable EXPL element?
-
What the title says. I was playing with @jacob1 script RANDom element and his mod, and a few particles of "EXPL" appeared. I didn't found it on the element menu nor with the search function so I tried to unhid it using a LUA script, however, the element did not appear on the menu.
A quick check of TPT's code (The-Powder-Toy/src/simulation/elements/EXPL.cpp) reveals that it isn't hidden from the menu (unlike elements like BIZS or EQVE) and it's supposed to appear in the Explosives category.What prevents this element from appearing in the searcher and the menus? Is it because it'd be extremely overpowered? Any help would be appreciated, I'd love to play with this element!

It's part of jacob1's mod but not offical I believe

I'll give you the true answer, don't think I've ever stated it publicly.
First, download version 14.1 of my mod: https://starcatcher.us/TPT/Mod/Older/Jacob1s%20Mod%20ver%2014.1.zip
This version is from April 2012, released on Easter.
Next, press 'e'. This will start an easter egg hunt. There are 20 eggs hidden in various places and saves around TPT. As you find them you get more rewards, the final one being EXPL.
See this forum post for more details. -
Whoa, Very interesting! I think finding all the easter eggs would be a tall order nowadays, considering how the saves are buried by newer creations or have been updated (for example, one of the eggs was in your Reutilizable Bombs save, but since it was updated after that, the game displayed an error message).
It seems no one (at least publicly) managed to unlock EXPL, so that explains why I didn't found information about it. Thanks for your answer!
