After creating the smelting machine primarily to be used to mix metals and formed into molds or to use as a sealing applicant for holes and other uses, I notice about yesterday from this post date that my Smelting machine after searching "Smelt" I see about 5-7 smelting machines all with the same look and design as mine, the people's lists follow:
Epsilon (Direct design and shape, with exactly the same width, and then credited Cr15py for the idea) Petaki (he gave credit, no hate) Crippledfaggot123 (gave credit to petaki and me, no hate) Themadscientist (direct correlation between mine and the design) Cr15spy (exact same shape and design with different "on/off" parts)
I am sick and tired of these people taking my design and then turning into something they think is original.
To help solve this fraud and imitation problem, I Suggest that people brand their creations with a word tag of their name, date, and time of their creation to prove that it is original.
Also it would be wise to take screen shots of your creations over the clock of your computer with date showing.
Calm down. It doesn't really matter, it's just a bunch of pixels on a screen. One thing wrong with your suggestion is the fact that anyone could predate their tag. And I bet a good amount of people can Photoshop a simple date/time (the font isn't exactly uncommon). There's really nothing you can do to "patent" your design. By the way, didn't see your smelting chamber in there.

That and you can change the date to any time on your computer whenever you please. I agree, it wasn't that complicated, you got credited most of the time, and it's not that big of a deal. Some things will just happen no matter what you do.
