What does that mean?[/b] A: Choose the highest [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions"]SSE[/url] executable. If that executable fails to load, use the one below that one. Most modern computers today can support SSE3 executables, but there are some that don't. More FAQ Questions can be found here: [url]http://powdertoy.co.uk/FAQ.html[/url]

I made a giant radioactive cock once that shot neutrons out of the head. I missed those days.

I made a giant fire penis once that spurted flames

Oh yeah, I remember this game

First two posts are about penises. Oh creative tools why are you so abused. Volcano cocks all day.

I used to love dicking around in that burning sand game with the "zombie" NPCs.

[QUOTE=Mister Cool;29003682]I used to love dicking around in that burning sand game with the "zombie" NPCs.[/QUOTE] I always would build them houses. Then it would rain and shit. Then I'd blow parts of the house up, watch them drown, freeze parts of the house, set things to fire, blow everything up then start again.

Why shouldn't it have been? The only lifeforms that are annoying are the ones that KEEP replicating to no end.

[QUOTE=TamTamJam;29008568]What's that shield beside your login name? Are you a moderator or something?[/QUOTE] Mod/Dev, yes.

This game is still insanely popular at my high school. Ask any guy for a copy of powder toy and they will have it. There are probably over 1000 copies (no exaggeration) floating around the school

Better than OEcake?

[QUOTE=ief014;29009137]Mod/Dev, yes.[/QUOTE] Most of the mods are compete idiots. Just saying.

Digitize books? What? Oh, I get it, nevermind.

DUET + NEUT or URAN + NEUT or PLUT + URAN.

Any way to resize the window?

Q: How do I make the window bigger? A: Create a shortcut to your Powder Toy executable. Add the command scale:2 to the end of the target. Example: C:\Users\You\Documents\powderbeta-43.0-win32\powder-sse3.exe scale:2 No other way to change size

Experimenting with complicated refinery type stuff, learning wifi's and making different types of gates (and/or), it's overwhelming but fun at the same time.

I love this game so much, I just wish there was a way to have a square tool instead of circle.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;29632405]I love this game so much, I just wish there was a way to have a square tool instead of circle.[/QUOTE] That's actually not a bad idea, I may add that in an upcoming update For now though, if you hold Ctrl while click+drag, it will make a rectangle.

For an awesome bomb pause the game and place down some singularity, and then press the ` key to open the console. set temp sing 999999 set tmp sing 99999 set life sing 0 Enjoy the fireworks. (Don't place too much unless you love lag.)
