@DimiTheGamerYT The "detector" beam goes straight through a pixel, as it is not stron enough to conduct it, try puting a powder on a 1-pixel iron.
Dosen' detect small bits of metal(1 pixel wide) detects water as an "Metal"
OH you mean that little sign at the top right. In that case, it does work. I thought you were talking about the replicator at the bottom. Probably would have figured that out earlier if you weren't so rude, though :p
@superkirbyfanlover, What are you talking about? You've in no way elaborated as to how it "fails."
And yet, it still fails, EVEN IF i fill it with metal up to 75%
@optimus2006, Yes, you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. I thought it would be odd to call it a metal detector, given the way that it works. Initially I was going to use PSTN and DTEC, only detecting specific elements, apart from those that conduct, as well. But, those ideas failed, so I went with a more broad functionality. I am suprised at how simple it ended up being...
-But hey, that's just a theory. a TPT THEOR....(Copyright strike)
Of course it detects water XD What this machine actually is is a "Conductivaty Tester", as you can see in the machine, it simply tests if the material in the box is conductive. And since most metals conducts, he called it a metal dectector. However, even though water is NOT a metal, it still conducts, so it calls it a "metal".
