Hi all,

  I figured that after almost 4 years, it's about time that I make a post about The Galaxy Toy.

  Back in 2015, I began a serious mod of TPT with the goal of making the mod directly a part of "The Alliance," a space-age based fictional universe with factions by tons of different members. People made planets, galaxies, ships, cities- And they were all linked together by signs inside of saves. For many of us, you could travel all the way from one city save to another city in someone elses galaxy without ever going to the search box. 

  This mod is meant to be an improvement of the basic TPT, by adding new elements which were more realistic and could be used in these saves. 

Here, you can see Hydrogen, helium, and Krypton ionizing and releasing photons that approximate the real spectrum. 

See this for full size of image below:

Here's a list of added elements (some of which are likely to be removed before the mod is actually releasable).

1. VSPK - Voltage Spark, voltage decreases over distance. 
2. Hattonite - Likely to be removed. 
3. CRBN - Carbon
4. CBNF - Carbon Fiber
5. LAQR - Laquer used in making CBNF
6. NBOT- Nanobots. Do work based on function programmed with TMP, charge with PSCN and slowly lose charge. 
7. AERO - Aerogel. Powerful insulator
8. EQBM - TNP9999's experimental equilibrium element. Likely to be removed. 
9. GOTO - Similar to sign tool, turns on and off with PSCN/NSCN like SWCH. ID set as TMP
10. TLRY - Artillery shell. More realistic explosions than BOMB, has shrapnel, and can be stored. Detonates when it has a velocity and is stopped by an element other than itself. 
11. CNON - Likely to be removed
12. GRND - Grenade. High pressure explosion after a period of time. Likely to be modified. 
13. U - Uranium
14. PU- Plutonium
15. KR- Krypton
16. HE- helium
17. H - Hydrogen
18. BA - Barium 
19. N0 - Neutrons
20. CGLS - Clear glass. Doesn't distort photons, otherwise identical. 
21. RB - Rubidium
22. SR - Strontium
23. Y - Yttrium
24. ZR- Zirconium
25. LA - Lanthanum
26. CE - Cerium
27. PR - Praseodymium
28. ALFA - Alpha particles
29. E1 - Electrons
30. ZRNT - Zirconium Nitrade
31. PB - Lead
32. FREL - Likely to be removed and now redundant, added before latest update
33. FREN - Likely to be removed and now redundant, added before latest update
34. GALM - Galium
35. SGLM - Solid galium. Likely to be removed. 
36. ROCK - Allows CNCT to be stacked directly on top.  Breaks into STNE. Allows for much more realistic and interesting landscapes, tunnels, caves, mines, cities, etc. 
37. TORP - Torpedo
38.  ASBS - Asbestos, another insulator
39. BLLT - Shoots single EMBR in a direction dictated by location of where it was detonated. Detonates with SPRK or FIRE. 

Additional features:

• New HUD
• Extra simulation info
• FPS graph
• "Realistic Mode" which resets particle temps to defaults automatically every x frames
• Scrollable help menu and news scroller accessible with shift+n
• Server toggle button to switch to the Galaxy custom server, which will only have saves from the mod
• Main window is expanded to the right one button's width, to allow for LUA mods with right side buttons to work seamlessly without overlapping exisiting built-in buttons
• Possible LINK tool which will allow movable "frame solids". Essentially, it maintains a set distance between two pixels, so that movable frames can be constructed. 

  The HUD default shows date, part count, type, temp, pressure, life, TMP, and location. Pressing "d" adds a bar on the left and right, showing FPS, TMP2, VX, and VY. Pressing "ctrl+shift+d" adds the three center bars, showing things always hidden in the basic TPT: Gravity magnitude, ambient air temperature, gravity X, gravity Y, Air X, Air Y. Additionally, you can enable even more info (usually for debugging) by going to the "Stats and Extras" menu on the right, and clicking INFO and FPSG. INFO adds element number associated with type, number of frames the game has processed, TMP3, and TMP4 (yes, all elements now have a TMP3 and 4). FPSG shows a 5 second graphic history of your FPS. 

There's some other stuff involved as well- But I don't have a new version compiled yet. The latest version appears to be late 2016. 

Take a look at the outdated source here (but ahead of the build provided, look back in commits to late 2016 for the build provided): https://github.com/RCAProduction/The-Alliance-Toy

Here's the late 2016 build. Sorry, but it only works on Windows! https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1dzf0nt3ouz0iu/Powder.exe?dl=0

  Everything works except LINK and some WIP elements. There will be changes and elements removed, so I do not recommend making things you want to keep with the new elements. It is also a build made before the current release, so new saves containing CRMC or other new elements can't be opened. 

Known bugs:

1. Saving a stamp or save will sometimes crash the game without saving. If you use the mod to make anything- Save frequently, and don't do much work between saving. Expect the game to crash. I have no idea why it does this. 
2. When an element is placed, FPS drops (Possibly due to TMP3 and TMP4)

INFINITY-BOI:

Where is file to open it ?

 Just added it to the end of my post. Sadly, I only have a build for Windows, and this is NOT the final release- It's more just to show that this thing actually works, and give a demo. I also do NOT have a second server currently running, just because it's complicated and would have no users.

Where do i need to paste Powder.exe?

Just download the file like you downloaded normal TPT, and open it. It's best if you do this in a separate folder from where you have your normal TPT installed, since they have the same name. 

Take a look here to see how a few of the elements act. You must be in the mod to see it: ID:2496564

 I need to reinstall Ubuntu and compile there. Compiling and working on Windows is terrible. I might do that today, and get the newest version of the code fixid up...
