Powder Game 2 ver5.5

[darkchaos10]

New : [JOINT] All support joint.
???Bug fix: JOINT + Outside screen

I don't know what the bug was, but now you can use any element(except for fan) with joint. Metal joints conduct weirdly.

[Qwerty]

That's pretty useful. Certainly, compatibility here came faster than all the balls.

Making bird robots over here.

Fun watching the killer type just mow down fighters.

At some point I need to think of useful automation, but for now it is fun.

Did manage a small suspension bridge. Joining everything together for the floor is hand work but looks cool when it is finished.

Clone works as a stationary joint very handy for supports.

[Elmach]

Is the bug fix what I think it is?
*makes ice octagon, throws it off-screen*
No, no it isn't. Jointed objects still don't survive the edge of the screen.

Lasers are unjointable. Grr.

Glass acts like a solid when jointed, but under pressure, becomes sand.

Everything does not include fan. Nothing includes fan.
Raw data about falling.

SPOILER: Click to show

Everything unlisted falls like water. Again, Fire<Soapy=0<Powder<Water
C-4 falls faster.
Clone does not move at all.
Stone falls faster; the same as C-4.
Lava falls even faster.
Virus falls like powder.
Nitro drops like a stone.
Ant between lava and a stone.
Gas like fire.
Soapy neutral, like before.
Thunder unaffected.
Metal like lava.
Bomb like lava.
Laser dies fast.
Acid like a stone.
Glass like clone, until you breathe too hard.
Bird unaffected.
Mercury like lava.
Spark like water, but really bouncy.
Fuse like powder.
Cloud like fire.
Pomp like lava.

Weights

SPOILER: Click to show

From top to bottom, light to heavy.

• Fire: Fire, Gas, Cloud
• NEUTRAL FLOATY LINE OF NEUTRALNESS: Soapy^?
• Powder: Powder, Virus, Fuse
• Water: Water, Seed, Ice, S-Ball, F-Works, Oil, Sand, Mud, Virus, Nitro, Torch, Vine, Salt, Fish, Spark^?
• Stone: Stone, C-4, Nitro, Acid
• Ant: Ant
• Lava: Lava, Metal, Bomb, Mercury, Pomp
• Unaffected by Joint; does its own thing: Clone, Thunder, Laser^†, Glass, Bird

^? Spark hilariously bouncy. Reacts oddly with soapy. Might fall under unaffected, but falls like water.
^† While unaffected, the joint stays on the first dot of laser and doesn't travel with it, and thus, dies fast.
^? Soapy is springy.
Somewhat Absolute Weights

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm going to measure things relative to water, so [WATER] has weight 1.
[FIRE] has weight -1; one fire can hold up one [WATER] type.
[SOAPY] has weight 0; it floats naturally.
[POWDER] has weight 0.5; one [FIRE] and two [POWDER] in a triangle float.
[WATER] has weight 1 by definition.
[STONE] has weight 2; two [FIRE] and one [STONE] in a triangle float.
[ANT] has weight 3; three [FIRE] and one [ANT] in a tetrahedron float.
[LAVA] has weight 4; four [FIRE] and one [LAVA] in a 5-cell float.
[CLONE] has weight ?; no matter what you do, you can't move it away. Note that ? is neither positive or negative (or is both), and clone doesn't rise or fall. Same with the rest.

[endy123]

It's weird that Spark is so bouncy.

There are the oddball elements out there too if you want to check. Bomb-Fragment and steam.


Made a really basic Not gate for thunder tech.



You can see it here acting as a timer. Moves mercury up and down allowing thunder to pass or not.

Still needs alot of work but it is interesting.

Might be easier with Pump. Little bit easier to control.

[Qwerty]

What about the secondary elements? Wood and the like?

Did I miss any?

I've become PG retarded after not playing for a decent eighteen months or so, but this new Joint feature is amazing. I can smell the nitro-powered death wheels.

[endy123]

Managed to create actual joined Soapy using Soapy-Fish.

Appears to have some of the same springiness but without Bubble's tendency to pop.

Can also make semi-controllable Bird-Bots(Rectangular shapes with Bird in the middle) by swapping out the bird with seed. Seed turns into Bird when "eaten".
