I've been looking for something that can prepare hydrofluoric acid from fluorite and sulfuric acid for some time, and I've finally found such a game.
The idea of the game is to collect every element on the periodic table to repair your ship. Compounds with several elements won't work - only compounds that consist of a particular element are eligible.
And how do you do that? You have to react things with each other to make new compounds. And/or you use heat to do it. Or, you use electrolysis to separate elements (I like the electrolysis reaction where salt is separated into sodium and chlorine gas). Or you use your particle accelerator gun to make synthetic elements.
There are a bunch of reactions missing (you can't mix pure sodium and fluorine to get NaF on the spot), but there are enough to get all the elements. I had a fun time with it.

What? Don't compounds have at least two elements by definition?

Not O
2. I consider that a compound, regardless of what the actual definition is.Ghoelian@piefed.social · 14 pts · 21d
Lmao so you know you're wrong

My definition has some intrigue, which the official one lacks. You understand my meaning, yes?

I think the formal term is "simple substance (element)", but that hardly rolls off the tongue, so I understand why you call it a compound for simplicity / colloquially. There isn't a good word that refers to things like O
2. Maybe we should invent one like Shakespeare? I propose "Monopound"yermaw@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 20d
Thats my bank accounts nickname

You can say "molecular oxygen" for O
2, "molecular hydrogen" for H2, etc.I_Jedi@lemmy.today · -2 pts · 21d
A very flashy name. I approve. O
2is now a type of monopound.FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 2 pts · 20d
The existing term is "molecular oxygen" but actually just saying 02 is easier. Molecules in general can describe both elements and compounds.

If I had a chance to adventure the title, I would have the English language set, but I do not believe it's fair for other people who don't understand English, to read, understand, realize, comprehend, and trust a LLM/"AI" sorrowful slop the author had no way to verify and realize themselves even.
I believe that the authors who do not understand other languages should never implement them themselves and request either professionals or open-source/collective services instead like:
- https://crowdin.com/
- https://weblate.org/
A crowd-based translation would at least make it more fair, transparent, and accurate, inscribing the artwork in the infinite history with no nonsense/slop/disrespect but with indeed respect for art, people, the ineffably magnificent languages, and the history itself...
All in all, sorry, I would purchase a license and support the author, since I like the concept (and I hope it was crafted/created without LLM...), but I will not.
I will not, and try never, support such a work... so to help someone out there not reading an LLM-generated nonsense without even having a dear idea they do so.
Some may not even notice the Steam Store annotations as the "AI" note but believe the "translated" as they were supervised by the author, yet the author did not even realize the translated at all but chose a LLM-based bloody-awful nonsense sorrow...

Yeah I was hyped until I realized it was a slopper. I don't trust sloppers for anything.

Reminds me of the powder game from ye olden times. I loved that shit. Wishlisting for sale day

I tried the game demo last night. It's way more like Sandustry than Minecraft. Or since that's a newer/obscure game, a bit like Terraria without the weapons.
There's an addictive quality to wanting to discover the next element or compound after each prior one. But at least in the demo, that seems like all there is to do. Collect materials, research how to react them, and fill in the periodic table to fix your ship.
