The Powder Toy

It would be convenient (and possibly funny) if there was a list of all of the messages of the day, does anyone have a list?

KSP2

we can create a list on wiki, I will add some motds now

I dont think that adding "first seen" row in motd page in wiki is a good idea , they were in tpt long time ago

Ok since I'm nice and documenting all of them would take a long time, I got the full list for you. These haven't really changed in years. If you have suggestions I could add more

If you see Simon, ask him if he got a haircut

I would suggest:

"You can remove or change your vote. Click on the vote buttons again"

"If you want to rename your save, contact a moderator!" (Read somewhere that mods can rename saves)

"TPT has it's own \bt{a:https://www.reddit.com/r/PowderToy|subreddit!}"

Where's the Simon haircut one btw?

jacob1

@ratio1 (View Post)
Yeah I guess I could mention the subreddit.

I can rename saves, but I never get requests to do that. I haven't even renamed my top save that has a typo in it.

Also, thanks for pointing out the haircut one. I accidentally didn't copy the final MotD, I added it now.

Anyway, bonus MotDs!
These two were in the rotation at some point but got deleted, the first because it worried people and the second because I didn't want to cause confusion.

Big brother is watching you

jacob1

@KSP2 (View Post)
No, but I can change it to say 2.2 million. You have to account for all the deleted saves.
