Official Game Feedback

I had no idea... I just thought it was a bug, no wonder setting the temp of certain things it's always "off" by a few hundred C. :(

add 273.15 to the temperature you want to set, the console works in Kelvin, not Celcius.

The entire game is actually in Kelvin in the code, there's just one single -273.15 to convert to Celcius for displaying in the HUD, since that's something people will understand.Edited once by jacob1. Last: 18th Aug 2013 -
ah, would it be hard to change the required input to celcius? you could possibly leave the processing in kelvin because i can see how that's simpler for a computer to process, and simply add 273.15 to all the input, therefore making complex temperature alterations far simpler at the loss of around 0.05 fps? or, depending on how deeply embedded the kelvin measurement is into the code, you could just swap it for celcius? i don't know how to view the code so i have no idea.
EDIT: i looked in AppData and also tried dismantling a copy of the launcher itsself but didn't find anything. perhaps a brief tutorial on locating the files would help with people's knowledge of how it works, and people like me would be able to be more precise in thier suggestions, thus minimalising the work you have to do, trawling through the code to see if an idea is fesable.

In a future version you will be able to simply type 100C or something instead of 373.15
Also I have no idea what you mean by that AppData thing, tpt doesn't use that folder, or have a launcher, it's just a standalone .exe that has the whole game. It's open source with the full source code here: https://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy -
ah thanks, i will add that to my favourites. :P
what i meant by launcher was the object with the logo on it which you use to launch the game. (i told you i knew nothing)

Can some dev, please, give CAPS LOCK delete functionality?

I added that, it's the "Del" (Delete) key. If you don't have one, in the next version you will also be able to press ctrl+semicolon.
I didn't want to do the caps lock method though because that's a little weird.
Edit: Also I did add that 100C, 98F, etc. thing for the console in the next versionEdited once by jacob1. Last: 2nd Sep 2013 -
I can't use it. At least not on my Mac. Have yet to test it on Windows.
But CAPS LOCK is on all keyboards (at least, all non-screwy ones), and is conveniently located next to tab, shift, control, and the numbers.
Perhaps both could be a shortcut, if some people, for whatever reason (*cough-criminals-cough*), don't want to use CAPS LOCK.
And the 100C, 98F thing would be useful. But Fahrenheit only if the temperature could be measured in Fahrenheit (which should be an option). Temperature conversions are irritating.

yeah, I know you can't use replace mode on mac for now. The semicolon thing won't be for a while. I already did it, I see no reason to also add back caps lock as a key.
I plan to eventually add custom HUDs, no idea whether that will actually happen though outside my mod. But one option would be Fahrenheit in the HUD. I mostly just added F because I can.
