Hi Denki,

Thank you for responding to all of my questions.  You have greatly help me to enjoy Autonauts and to understand how it works.  I have another question for you about the Save.txt file.  I see that after the large section of "Tiles" in it, the next section starts with "TileExtra":[{"x":324,"y":26,"T":0},{"x":325,"y":26,"T":0}, and there are very many of what I call these "Pair-Triplets".  The "Pair-Triplets" all contain {"x": followed by a value and then ,"y": followed by a value and then ,"T": followed by a value followed by }, .  I presume that the "x" value refers to the column location and "y" value refers to the row location and "T" value might refer to a type value.

Would you please clarify the actual meanings and uses of the "TileExtra" information?  If the "T" values refer to types, what are those types and how are the used?  Thank you.

"TileExtra" is a way of showing which tiles had any behavior associated with them. The only time this array is used is to control when weeds grow back. "T" is a timer for the tile's state. However this array won't exist in the next version.

Thank you.  I presume then that the "TileExtra" array would change when the weeds are dug up and the ground is hoed so that the weeds won't grow back.  I will try that another day to confirm it.

Yep, you got it!

Also you'll find me as "Aaron" on Discord :)
