The Powder Toy

Movable Solids: Why not?

    I'm aware that many moderators/developers have said 'no' to all movable solids, but what is such an issue with them? They may be hard to code but isn't that a challenge? Don't say 'code them yourself' 'cause I don't have the time or facilities to do so...

    Not hard, borderline impossible. I have tried, I got a bouncy dust.

    Mur made a movable solid in his mod... Couldn't it be programmed into the official game?
    @Dragonfree97
    Bouncy dust sounds epic...

    One issue, is with any kind of rotation of the solid on the powder toy grid.
    (Assuming solids are "glued" together particles)

    Yeah, that makes sense. But does that actually make it impossible?

    More than likely.

    Thank you, moderators are very helpful. You might as well lock this thread.

    Try scaling it with 200+ elements and all work in sync to move with an attached solid too. You see what the problem is?
