New Erasers!

    Bodgybuilder's topic pushed me to new idea.
    There are currently only two [erasers] but who knows how many might pop up as more elements and features are added and updated?
    Various Usability Issues and Suggestions

    And what about Gas-eraser, Liquid-eraser, Solid-eraser and Powder-eraser?
    For example: you have solid box filled by gas and liquid and them mixing all the time, but you need to decrease amount of gas and don't touch liquid or damage box. So you can use Gas-eraser for this purpose!

    Also i have an idea of Alt-Eraser which will erase only secondary element, so you can erase only certain element of total mix.

    EDIT: Hey! Why link don't work?!
    EDIT_2: Thanks

    I really like this idea! Great for getting rid of fiddly bits in a creation.
    Would this also mean that using the Solid Eraser on Saltwater would make it normal Water?

    But each element would have to be categorised as a Solid, Liquid, Gas or Powder? That would be difficult with elements like Fire and Neutron, which are already categorised weirdly (Fire is a solid and Neutron is a gas).

    Perhaps maybe an Energy-Eraser, which gets rid of Photons, Fire, Plasma and Lightning and a Radioactive Eraser for all things radioactive?

    P.S. I think the problem with the link is that it needs a http:// at the front

    Heh, maybe)) It would be nice feature, but how then quickly and safely erase salt water?

    Hmm... As i know it is already so. I read wiki tutorial and there is moment when you creates some element you initialises it as solid, liquid, powder or gas.

    Fire is a solid
    Realy? I thought it is categorised as gas...


    And Thanks for support

    An eraser that only erases what the second key selection has selected would be awesome.

    I say maybe, I'll have to wait for the updated code to work on it.

    Neutron is a gas but fire is a solid and a gas.
    Not to go off-topic.
