I'm not really sure what is causing it, but I appear to be incapable of cloning bombs. They simply explode the instant they exist. The upswing is that it makes for a cool energy cannon.

I think it depends on the type of bomb. Something about a certain element/particle resetting when it gets copied causing a change in temperature or pressure.

I am loving the new bomb element, even if bombs and stickmen are buggy. Actually, no, wait, that makes it better. I smiled upon seeing bomb-jumping stickmen.

Indeed, the bomb element is fun. I like to bomb cities with one bomb at a time. It's actually harder then it looks because of pressure.

Something odd just happened...

When a stickman dies, it looks like they just turn into the closest element. So I put one of those stickman spawners in a closed box with some magma, and the air temperature in there eventually caused it to die the instant it spawned. But one of them happened to touch a stray particle of magma before it died, melting into more magma directly on top of the spawner. The next one touched that, and so on.

Now I've got an endless stream of magma shooting out of that single point.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

That is indeed odd. I've always seen them die into dust.

When they die they burst into whatever element they are capable of shooting. They can get this element by having their heads go through it(only certain ones). You can make them shoot a stream of this element by pressing down for the first stickman and s for the other one.

One thing I find extremely entertaining, is making a < shape of clone, then putting C-5 (the cold explosive) on it, and lighting it up. Makes a nice ice shock wave.

I finally managed to make a working smelter. It used a number of the "fuck physics" elements, but it reliably separates glass and metal out of a molten mixture of sand and broken metal. The big problem is pressure: I suppose it would be possible to make the whole thing high pressure, but I didn't think to do that, and you need high pressure for the cooling process not to create solid chunks of glass and metal. So, after a long semi-cooling chamber (down from 3-5 thousand to about one and a half thousand degrees) the lava is dropped into a portal in, with the portal out being in a high pressure inverted cone, that drops it over a wall under which is a cold flame spawner, and into a giant bowl, where the end result is collected at 1200-1300 degrees, with a pile of broken glass covered in molten metal.

Wait, are you trying to separate the glass and metal?

I am reviving this thread because I just discovered this game! It is still being updated and is very fun!!

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

I'm getting huge security warning from the site now; was it hijacked?

I got one the last time I downloaded it. No problems yet, so probably a false positive.

Reviving this thread. The game was too fun to stop playing. Also: "Azure Lotus Mechanism".
