| − | + | Currently there are two pages referring to the same gas: [[Hydrogen]] and [[Volatiles]]. They should probably be merged. Note that these are distinct from the item [[Ice_(Volatiles)]]. The merged page should probably be "Volatiles", because although the gas is referred to as H<sub>2</sub> in game, it is never called hydrogen, and its reaction with oxygen is clearly not that of hydrogen. Because of the name, I didn't realize the reaction didn't produce water vapor until I tested it. I suspect the inconsistency here is that the developers changed their mind about volatiles at some point and haven't fully switched over yet. | |
--[[User:Ipottinger|Ipottinger]] ([[User talk:Ipottinger|talk]]) 06:24, 22 October 2019 (CDT) I agree that the content should be merged into a single page. I would suggest that both the Hydrogen and Volatiles links on the Main Page remain with the Hydrogen page converted to a page-redirect to the merged Volatiles page. ("<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Volatiles]]</nowiki>" as page's sole content) This is because, as you noted, the game in its current "early access" state is itself confused about the naming. New players may come looking for info on Hydrogen, not realizing that it and Volatiles are one-in-the-same. As you also noted, labelling Volatiles as H<sub>2</sub> is equally misleading. I'm hoping that, sometime in the future, Hydrogen proper is (re?)introduced and Volatiles becomes Methane CH<sub>4</sub> or some other hydrocarbon. | --[[User:Ipottinger|Ipottinger]] ([[User talk:Ipottinger|talk]]) 06:24, 22 October 2019 (CDT) I agree that the content should be merged into a single page.
