The invincible tool doesn't really work; things can still die. I'd love to have an actually invincible cannonball to wave around.

Well, unfortunately, that's impossible. They're either 100% untouchable or they're going to die at some point.

Here is an Idea for a cursor, 'Rejuvenate', either it gradually heals, makes the actor grow back limbs, and repairs their ♥♥♥♥ over time, or it just flat out respawns them with new everything.

Gone for months, and I come back to this. It's like.., no amount of words can describe. If anything, the ability to fling my own troops around like rag-dolls just tickles me in all the right ways. That, and it kinda reminds me of Falling Sand/Sand fall game, the one that let's you make zombies(?) stickman and click-and-drag. Insta-DL, trying desperately to postpone o-face to better enjoy this product of win.

Is it possible to add speed limit to objects that you throw? Like cut acceleration before the critical velocity(whatever that is).

And could there be a MOID limit checker that prevents you from using the gibber? Like it disables the gibber cursor when MOID limit is getting close to highest limit.

I don't know how you people are managing to throw things that hard. I have never once, even with maximum force, been able to make an actor outright disappear from throwing it. If you could tell me the speed at which this is occurring, I'll add in a speed limit.
I'm not too sure how that would help with the gibber. Why would it need to check how many MOIDs there are?

That's not going to have any effect on it. The only thing that changes is how many objects can be in-game at once without lag. According to Grif, the maximum velocity is 500 in either direction - my question becomes, how the heck are you people managing to fling things that hard without snapping your wrists right off?

My mouse is set to move pretty fast.

Aren't vertical and horizontal velocity separate, so they add together? 250 x Vel and 250 y Vel?
Mainly I get it when I spin around the cursor around really fast using the lasso.

Added an update. I'm pretty sure it's 500 in either direction, but give the new version a try and correct me if I'm wrong.

Lag. When we're lagging the game runs slower and, hence, we are relatively faster in comparison to the physics engine. Once certain lag threshold is reached almost everything disappears instantly instead of being moved.

but all the lua calculations are based on sim updates, and won't run any faster (or do any more math) just because the game is running slower

I meant just the cursor moves faster, so the thing jumps. That's what happens to me, anyway.
