0. Open TPT
1. Press W twice, change the gravity mode to radial
2. Drop some liquid
Normally they should get together, and you'll get a ball (or a circle as it's a 2D game)
But in fact they tend to gathering like this...
There's something wrong in the code, I think.

Yes it's a bug, an old one at that.

I believe this is due to the left/right movement that usually spreads liquids out to prevent them from clumping like a powder. I suggest an added up/down movement to match with it.

It's because the liquids movement code never got updated to work properly with radial/Newtonian gravity.

If I have happy-happy-buggy-code-time, it tends to be rather more spectacular. Like
this attempt at radial gravity for liquids
.
Edit: yay, liquids in radial gravity

I actually like that better than the flat expanding line of liquid we currently have
