How do you get a uniform explosion?
« on: May 08, 2011, 04:59:55 AM »
Sometimes when I explode an object (into 13 pieces) there will be 13 objects all the same mass and diameter, and other times it will yield a wide range of sizes and much more than 13 objects.

Is there a way to choose which type of explosion I want? My computer can't handle all these objects when the explosion makes too many by products.

The current game doesn't allow any other kind of explosion.

You can turn the dust multiplier down, and you can also turn off trails. That could help.

Maybe you could explode to dust instead.

Good question and observation. I will be spending some time in the near future (hopefully) enhancing explosions and adding more precise explosion options that will address this concern.

And I plan to add more options beyond those, thanks for pointing that out, as I may have assumed this was already known.
