     scientific correctness isn't realy the main concern of the admins ;)

    I know but have you seen how many element suggestions there are suggesting more realistic things?

    that is sort of what I said, I just explained it a little differently. We don't actually save any decimals, it just depends on how hot it is.

    We can't change 0K, because it really is -273.15C, and changing it is just a bad idea ... also not accurate. Having temperatures end in .85 isn't breaking anything or causing any problems at all, so we can just leave this small little bit of scientific accuracy.

    Well, if we limit the saved temperature to 10922K tops, then we can fit as much as 1/6th of a degree into the 2 bytes of the temperature field, just multiply temp by 6 and cast into a short int

    I think it would be cool if we could use better pistons(stronger pitons) because some of my creations use them and it its kind of hard to reload it.

    sure, but the save format is kind of full already and we don't need that much precision. Also that means people can't raise the temperature cap in mods.

    stronger? They can't be destroyed by pressure or heat so I don't know what you mean. Also this is not a place for suggestions, they should go in a separate thread or other location.

    Uh...sometimes, when I delete a save it doesn't on the first try, but most definitely on the second. Shouldn't it only be on the first, and no second tries? I don't think it ever went to thirds...
