Idea for new qrtz feature

    Now qrtz has a few good features, but it misses

    the most usefull thing that quartz can do in real life îs, If it gets hit by something and vibrates it makes electricity (piezoelecticity), so i think that If qrtz in tpt gets a higher presure than 0.5 it should make sparks

    QRTZ is already able to conduct electricity if it's under a pressure of 8 or higher.  This would break saves.

    Go reserch piezoelectricity

    TPT is not made to be a 100% percent duplicate of IRL.

     I know what piezoelectricity is.  I'm saying that there are saves that use QRTZ as a wire or pressure-activated switch.  If QRTZ could generate electricity under pressure, It would break those saves.

    I mean a setting or console comand i.e. tpt.setqrtzpielec=true

    You could make it that, with a certain tmp or tmp2 value for QRTZ, assuming the pressure based conduction and such isn't something that utilises tmp or tmp2 values, you could produce Piezo-electricity with it.

    To be honest, I'd love to see Piezo-Electricity in the game. I don't often apply QRTZ for stuff but I'd find it interesting if it could produce a piezo-electric effect.

    EDIT: I did some checking and it seems that QRTZ grows with TMP and shade is controlled by TMP2. Unless, of course, people wanted it that a specific tmp2 of QRTZ, one that doesn't necessarily appear without property modification with the property tool thing or console (For example, !set tmp2 QRTZ 100), it might be hard to implement such a thing.

    Or a setting in setings tab

     Wouldn't work well at all, just use PSNS for Jacob1's sake.

     

    Also use reply/quote.
