Some suggestions

    I have a few suggestions about solids and stuff for future versions:
    1) Solids should be affected by gravity just like powders and liquids.
    2) Some solids should bend under pressure (i.e METL)
    3) Solids should also depend on their shape ( If suggestion number one becomes reality(i.e circle shapes should roll))
    4) There should be magnets.
    These are just some suggestions. I hope i'll see them in future versions.
    Thnx.

    1) NO MOVABLE SOLIDS, TOO HARD TO CODE!!!!
    2) LOOK UP
    3) LOOK UP
    4) AGAIN TOO HARD TO CODE!!!!

    1) NO FREAKING MOVABLE SOLIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    2) No real uses and possibly includes movable solids
    3) NO MOVING SOLIDS
    4) Already suggest ALOT of times
    Read what not to suggest before suggesting:

    code1949:

    As the search function is currently non-existent (and as some people NEVER use it) I have decided to provide a guide on what not to suggest and why.

    Movable Solids: they are very difficult to program.
    Layers/3D: Way too much lag.
    Sound waves: Pressure = Sound waves.
    Voltage: Simon is already interested in voltage, there is no need to suggest it to him.
    Animals: Completely Useless. Will cause major lag.
    Extra Stickmen: two is more than enough very few uploads even have stickmen.
    Super Stickmen: there is no use for them.
    AI Stickmen: AI is difficult to code and AI-controlled units have little use in powder toy.
    Vehicles: Hard to code, almost useless.
    Other Stickmen Related Things: Completely useless.
    Nuke: Bomb is enough.
    Lasers: Just use heated photons
    Mercury: Use water or liquid rubidium.
    Corrosive liquids: Use acid.
    Perpetual Heater/Coolers: Use GOL and HWSC.
    Wall that Blocks Air Only: Can be achieved through other means.
    Hydrogen: Planned by Simon for the future.
    Substances that change volume with heat: Deuterium and Yeast are enough!
    Magnets: Too much work required to implement.
    Biological Substances: They are completely useless.
    Pixel Thick Wall: Will cause TPT to run at 1 FPY (Framerate Per Year) if implemented.

    Also here's somethings to consider:
    Diamond is inert and invincible and nothing will destroy it.
    Make sure it is significantly different from pre-existing elements.
    Make sure there are many uses!
    This is a suggestions forum this is not a place to spam or start flame wars.

    Remember, if you want an element that badly, code it in yourself.

    1) moveable solids that are effected by gravity and other forces is impossible to code, even if it was, the game wouldn't handle it - sorry -1. for now just use oe cake.

    2)Above^

    3)Above again^^

    4)this has also been suggested before, it would require a new layer like air/velocity that would only support broken metal of such.

    thank you for suggesting these, but for now, i'm afraid they won't be done.
    @everyone
    please DO NOT flame, you could upset the user and he/she would be scared to post his next suggestion because of you lot trolling around, now i'm not pointing fingers, but this has gotta stop now! I know it is annoying when the same thing is suggested over and over, but what did you first think of suggesting when you first joined?

    Amen bro! seriosly guys, back off. they can suggest what they want. True people should look around more instead of posting right away. people will stop posting for fear of being slammed. everyone needs to ease off.

    Please read https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=3518. I know it is not your fault a that guide is only in the elements suggestions sub-forum, but in future, please read it before posting.

    Ok. Thnx everyone. I guess it is hard to code.
