My opinion about Powder Toy and Devs
-
Ok, ok, i give up. You are doing this for free i see i should be pleased. One day i will make my moving solid by my own =D (but i hope it doesn't become my life goal --')
Just tell me where i can have an introduction about tpt development. i have some basics knowledge about C programming, but it may take a time.
Was just a stupid thinking that i had "devs should stop making small updates to make a big one"
Never mind.

I'm currently making a creation in tpt that, can be a "moving solid". Perhaps we should open our own minds.
-
A creation ON TPT? You mean a mod of tpt, or a creation inside tpt? I have just some sugestions for development...

Most, if not every, element you listed, is an advanced element that requires further background knowledge to use.
STOR can be used as an element filter.
EXOT can be used as engines, fusion starters or just eyecandy.
LIFE can be used to make a Turing machine with enough space and time. The entire idea of Game Of Life is way more advanced than I or you will ever know. The patterns can be knowingly formed to create repeating systems and various logical components.
FRAY can be used to fire other particles like the moving solid-type elements or "bullets".
RPEL is an early FRAY.
TESC can be used to generate LIGH from sparks, or as an infinite-power conductor with added sparkles.
EMP can be used in bombs or as a destructive shock.
Using similar categorizations as you, I could say FIRW and FWRK are useless because all they do is explode. WATR is useless because all it does is flow and conduct sparks. ಠ_ಠ

You are trying to tell us to "open our minds" to ideas that have been rejected several times for good reasons. We MAY do layering, eventually, but it isn't likely to be very soon. More likely is that it will be subsystem blocks. Either learn C and add moving solids yourself, or quit complaining about the lack, thereof. Learn to be a little more careful before you try and patronize people who work in their free time on a FOSS project which you then use. I'm not even claiming to be a good dev, I only added a few smaller things, but there are a lot of people who spend a lot of time with this project, such as Jacksonmj, cracker64, ximon, catelite, and etc. (this is not an entirely inclusive list). Also, the search bar helps, read the forum rules before posting again.

Never mind.
I have bigger problems, it was just a sugestion.
