    TO the OP:

    It's been said before, but MM cannot increase the size of the thermometer. You'll have to use resources more efficiently. Here are a few ways how:

    - Use only a few types of material. Alot of different materials in the level at one time will cause the thermo to fill.

    - Stickers and Decorations are your best friends. They don't fill up much thermo space (if any), and they add atmosphere to your level.

    - Don't over complicate things! The simple way is always the best way.

    - Try sticking to one type of hazard material if possible. Having all three fills the thermo.

    There are alot of other ways, but these are the most basic. Perhaps we should help the OP with his problem rather than explaining the same thing to him?

    No. Materials thermo is separate. Using 20 materials won't impact on overall level thermo, use as many as your aesthetic needs.

    Wrong. I'm not even sure what thermo hazards contribute to, if at all, but having more than one in a level certainly doesn't have much of an impact. You can happily use all of them.

    Sorry, but there is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding of thermo-efficiency and it's not at all helpful to anyone.


    edit Actually, I worked out a way a couple of months ago that MM could effectively increase the space in the "collected objects" thermo. It's to do with magnetic key detection and the varying colours.

    What are you talking about thecheat? stickers and decorations use a lot of thermo every time you add a new one. Stickers are overrated. You can take a picture for like 1/10 the thermo of a sticker.

    Since all my materials really only was Stickered Carboard and I started using the grid,the thermo really was not a problem for me anymore

    I dont have problems with thermo because i use the basic materials. materials like sponge and metal take up more thermo than polystirene and carboard. Its about being efficiant and still making it look good.

    Why can't they add some more spaces to make levels on, when they release the create-over-internet thing.

    It could be optional wether or not you could use the levels for yourself, or with cooperating with others.

    Or, it could be a DLC, where the extra spaces are found on somtething called: My Meteorite!

    Alex Evans has hinted to this before if it wasn't another molecule...that we'll get portals that allow us to load straight into another level. This way we can link our levels together. I'm sure it'll be a while before we see that.
