Element suggestion: Solid Prop
-
Someone should make a solid prop tool so that anything that enters will get the properties that it is set to. This would be very useful in some saves, e.g. Photon mazes (the thing when they put DMND down and the phot bounces of them) so that they could be longer without having the viewer to do it themselves.

The reason being, allowing saves to set arbitrary properties would cause breakages if we change the underlying simulation code in the future. Also, it adds complexity and reduces creativity.
Your example would be unlikely to cause issues in the future, but other things that people may do with a solid prop tool would definitely break when we change the code / swap properties around, which happens occasionally.
