Fun Minecraft-esque chemistry game

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.

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

translations into non-English languages (otherwise I could not translate the game into everyone’s language in good time)

Though, if I had a chance to adventure the title, I would have the English language set, yet I do not believe it’s fair for other people who don’t understand English, to read LLM/“AI” sorrowful slop the author had no way to verify and realize themselves.

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 like:
- crowdin.com
- 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…

The translation effort for Prism Launcher is hosted on Weblate, and information about translating Prism Launcher is available at github.com/PrismLauncher/Translations.

Source

All in all, I would purchase a license and support the author, since I like the concept and hope it was done without LLM, but I will not support the work so to not support someone out there reading an LLM-generated nonsense without even having a dear idea they do so, since some may not even notice the Steam Store annotations as the “AI” note but believe the “translated” as they were supervised by the author, who did not 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.

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.

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.
