Kelvin gram

[Skitis]

Just bought the game. Love it. Some comments on... details:

• Kilogram should be abbreviated kg, not Kg
• Battery says "Power available". Should be "Energy available" (Energy = Power × Time; [J] = [W] × [ s ]
• In "planter box", seed requirements says "Gas pressure: 150.0 g", should it say "minimum gas pressure" or "maximum gas pressure"? Or is it required exactly 150.0 g gas pressure? (Also, what kind of a gas pressure unit is that? Consider converting to Pascal [Pa] if possible, I love how you try to keep SI units throughout the game)

Do you want more of these detailed comments if I find while I play more, or should I just keep it to myself?

Be warned. This game implements very specific kind of game physics. If you expect it to be scientifically accurate, you're up to quite a few surprises. 

Grams, or grams per tile is a perfectly fine and convenient unit of pressure. You'll get used to it

Yea it's totally up to the devs. If I were involved however, I would likely multiply the grams with the temperature in Kelvin and further multiply with some constant such that the resulting Pa-value is somewhat realistic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

Normally I wouldn't comment on such a minor thing, as it's just a game. They however seem to attempt a quite realistic physics model, so thought I'd give this comment and they do whatever they want with it.

Gases don't mix. Liquids don't mix. You can't have gas and liquid in the same tile, regardless of amounts. 2000 g of any gas in a tile represents the same pressure. But when you have one tile with 100 g of CO2 in sea of pressurized oxygen, it will retain its identity and fly around indefinitely. A puddle containing 100 g of contaminated water can hold a ton of clean water from spreading over the floor. Pipe that can transport 10 l of liquid per second will immediately break if 1g of that liquid freezes in it. And don't let me started with puddles of liquid CO2.

Oh, I thought it like only showed the gas which dominated the tile or something (just bought the game, so haven't got much insight yet) =/ So maybe it isn't very realistic physics =( I stand corrected.
