Define "messed up".

I haven't had any issues with it.

This game was fun until it messed up my computer and had to be deleted. Any idea what happened there?

You need to be more descriptive. It's like saying "The toaster had a red light turn on then blew up", We don't know the specifics.

Oh come on. I was nowhere near that descriptive.

Pretty much what happened was my computer froze twice on startup, and ran ridiculously slow until I deleted Powder Toy.

Always fun to make all sorts of culinary delights with all kinds of chemicals and 'splodey things.

Unfortunately, most of my pots keep melting and/or exploding like the Manhattan Project.

Well, Powder Toy is an executable and does not install anything on your computer. Deleting the file is about as effective as deleting any text file you might have laying around.

I will say that Powder Toy gets my laptop extremely hot, more than almost any other ap I ever run, to the point of I shut it down because I am worried my fans wont keep up and the nuclear meltdowns I am making in the game will happen for real inside the laptop case.

Yeah, it's surprisingly hard to run for what it looks like. I guess it's probably tracking a lot of individual particles all at once. Your computer may just not be up to snuff.

I've ran some pretty hardcore sims on a 12 year old desktop with no upgrades.

It shouldn't be fucking with anybody's computer on that level.

Love this game for the thought processes it creates. "Now what if I put Plutonium, IN LAVA!?"

I've had this for awhile. Made a number of different nuclear bombs, an iron smelter, a desalination system, and a neat little coal-fired oven. I also like the effect of throwing yeast into a black hole.

Spoiler: Quickly made, just BMTL and BCOL for the oven (click to show/hide)

Those slits in the side allow pressure to escape, to avoid the entire thing from shattering. The bottom slit allows you to toss in some form of ignition. Just drop whatver you like into the bowl on top and set the coal on fire.

The most fun thing i do is make supercharged deut cannons.
Just apply pressure to a tank made of walls (full walls, the only things that stop air), fill it with deut, use property edit to get the deut to have a life of 9999999999, do it until it glows white (in fancy), delete a bit of the deut and replace it with neutrons, then open up the tank somewhere to have it wreak havoc on whatever is outside of the tank.
So much explody fun

Nuclear physics, GOOOO!!!
Seems you can do a bit of stellar alchemy now.
Electrons + neutrons = hydrogen
Pressurize and heat hydrogen, it becomes plasma, which cools to noble gasses (helium).
Heat that back to plasma and keep heating, it becomes photons, neutrons, CO2, and gives off a burst of pressure higher than the previous maximum; I've seen pressures as high as 406.05 (fusion probably; CO2 is the closest they can get to the C, N, and O resulting from stellar fusion with their current lack of N and C gasses).
Heat the CO2 while keeping the whole thing pressurized still, it becomes oxygen (which promptly burns to plasma) and singularity.

So you can now take a star from sub-atomic particles to black hole.

Has anyone seen the computers people make with this?  Some of them are pretty impressive.
Also there are various reactors, none of them are quite realistic, but some of them are also good.
And there are a couple of devices that can detect what element you put into them.

[Girlinhat]

I feel lame now.  I just laughed a little as I watched some magma melting iron.  You guys take it a step further ._.  Or a dozen steps.

[Baneling]

Is there any way of destroying wall things? The indestructible ones. I'm trying to devise a nuclear reactor using mercury.

[Girlinhat]

The indestructible ones.

No... No I think there's a definition in here where you answered your own question.
