Saves can't save Velosity/Pressure

    A while back, I made (or had plans for) a Hypersonic Plasma Flame Thrower that used the property of the Wind Tool to increase the speed of the Plasma.

    I set Air to No Update.
    Then I used the Wind Tool to set the direction and Speed of the flow of the Plasma.

    This is where I thought that my plan would work.

    I saved the Save and reloaded it (simulating some else opening the save).
    This is where the problem occured.
    When I unpaused Physics (Expecting a new Front Page Creation and a good invention), but actually getting a lame plasma flame thrower anyone can make.

    The Point: If Saves actually saved the State of Velosity and Pressure, then Cool and Very Creative Saves can be created.

    Is it possible to implement this into TPT without breaking Saves or messing up stuff?

    Use VENT or VACU.

    i think the problem here is that saves don't save the "no update" option

    Saves have never recorded pressure. I can't really imagine why but, most people have always built ways to sustain pressure since it doesn't get saves.

    ...Maybe there could be an option? Dunno. @_@

    Ok. To sum it up, I think Saves should be able to save the No Update feature without resetting the pressure/velosity.

    Sounds like a good Idea to me!
    I hope it makes it in!

    Please don't add this, a lot of my stamps are saved so I can build a small city or something and have a clean paused version that doesn't have differences in pressure and whatnot all over the place.

    Really this would only mean that you would have to manually save blank pressure.

    I'm lazy, I don't feel like deleting all the positive/negative pressure with the air tool and whatnot.

    You realize that hitting the = button equalizes/zeros all pressure and velocity instantly, right? It would be as easy as opening, hitting =, then saving...
