That and the shrink button (the third small icon on bottom left). Last I tried it it killed everyone on my planet (set to 0 velocity relative to the star)wtg62 wrote:I second this, as much as I and a few others would already know what everything does pretty well, new users might not.A Random Player wrote:A quick (?) suggestion: Add tooltips to the buttons.
(Honestly I never got the point of what currently is the eye button)
If I remember right, the first time I clicked it it actually worked (stopped the motion of the configuration). Now I don't knowwtg62 wrote:When I first played this, I thought that button stopped velocity of everything. (It sure did, I'll give it that.)
What I think it's supposed to do is set the view to the current center of mass.
That actually makes me think now... fix that bug, but add a button that kills the velocity of everything!
Or actually... that wouldn't be useful, would it?

The CoM has to do a work-around for the static stars right now, and work-arounds attract bugs like crazy.A Random Player wrote:Science time!

Edit: Found the "kill everyone" bug in the CoM button: If there's a fixed star things get problematic.
Whoa! I made something that caused a BSOD? *checks that off the bucket list*A Random Player wrote:I have been abusing negamatter to produce warp drives. So much, I've caused several "too many heap" errors (restarting several tabs), a fatal crash (that was actually caught), and even a BSOD.
