@webb This may cause some glitches. Just like the acid glitch. It would also make some things really weird and won't be realistic anymore, Fire with a life of 5000 would just mean that the fire will last for a very long time. Also, all the "life" elements only have a life of 1 or 0.
I suggested this before -___- :> and the reason they can't do that is because a lot of things rely on life for stuff like switch and liquid crystal and whatnot.
@HeyJD fire lasts forever once it goes through pipe. and just like all elements and things in tpt people dont HAVE to use it if they dont want to. and the acid glitch gave people a hard challenge: making a factory to mass produce it(which in the end there were alot of great ones) @ZebraineZ same to you as HeyJD. people dont have to use things things if they dont want to. but it can open up a whole lot more possibilities for the people who want to use it.
