    Wait! What happened to the PRES element (pressure explosive)? In the save it looks like it was turned into the "dust" element. WHY ON EARTH!? My whole point of this was to demonstrate to the devs of the superiority of the PRES explosive over normal C4 so that the devs would finally understand why it should be added. Since the save was made FROM the modded TPT then the special element should also have been saved. Why did it instead get converted to DUST?

    just because you save it... doesn't mean the properties can be loaded on an official version, you will need to post the enitre mod (with source) for it to get seen.

    Ok. But even if I load it back in the modded version will the save file still be corrupt? Will I have to make it from scratch again? And what "source" do you mean? You mean source code of the mod? All I have is the binary that I downloaded.

    Does TPT make dust if the element number can't be found?

    You are a fool, elements cannot be copied over out of a mod and it is not at all corrupt!

    if TPT finds an element number greater than its PNUM, it changes it to DUST.
