movable solids?
They are impossibly hard to make, so assume they will never be made -

You can't really say an element has only one function. The fun thing about them is that even if an element seems useless to someone, another person may come up with a way to use it. Moving solids have been suggested like crazy (I've been using tpt for abt a little over a year now and have seen quite a few threads suggesting movable solids) and are always denied. It's not gonna happen. Also, you say you're gonna make suggestions to change elements to add realism (and possible break who knows how many saves) and then turn around and say that you're not looking for realism 0_o. Make up your mind. The only 100% guaranteed way to have your suggestions added are to code them yourselves.

fake elements like lolz,love,boyl,glow,clne,etc. ,liquids that stay liquid no matter the pressure, whatever the crap exot is supposed to be, most, if not all, of the walls, stickmen, etc. When people say that tpt isn't realistic, they mean that it has a lot of stuff that aren't real. It's not like they mean that it has nothing in it that resembles real life. -

Good for you! Now go to Github, download the source, get a compiler, learn C, and dedicate your time to re-working the enitre game engine to work on moving solids! Also make sure EVERY element woirks like the do. And don't forget to make saves load, save, and you need to make it fluid enough for other systems to run. Plus you can't charge for it, so you'll be doing tihs for free, source code out there, and doing this under the pressure or other people suggesting this wanting it by... the next few updates?
On another note, you'll need to make more items because of course like the STKM addition, people wanted more addons.

About C codes, i dont know a lot about them, not in openGL level (if its what you use to creat the graphyc interface) but what im saying is just that. The best thing you can do now is develop a way to creat at least BIG POWDERS, like big squares, OR take a long time to really rebuild tpt. Idk if its that hard, even with many devs helping, but i really think the comunity would be pleased to have this, because its a really, really revolutionary thing, that would open a new concept of creating simulations!
I think its a good deal, even if it takes a year for devs. But if you wait for me, will take more than some years =D

I would much rather wait for better hardware to come out before simulating physics on my computer.
BTW by the time the devs finish moving solids there will be a way to make it in hours.
Just listen, you have a few options here are the most obvious:
1) Drop it and stop making your self look like an idiot
2) Mod it and become a developer with TPT (if you succeed there is a high chance)
