Some Suggestions

[joskei]

I realize the game is still early access, so there is going to be some rough edges, but in my ~200 hours in I've come up with what I hope will be some useful suggestions.

1. CO2 compressor -> Allow us to gather up the co2 into areas to be used for various pumps/guns/tools/doors? co2 is currently more of a hindrance than anything, and there really aren't a lot of decent solutions to handle it. This would make co2 useful mid-late game as a resource.

2. Electrolyzer -> Pointed out as an invalid suggestion.

3. Salt water -> Given current findings out in space, they think that the majority of water on planets that aren't locked up in ice is going to be very salty. Salt water shouldn't be drinkable, but would open up other avenues of research, like perhaps new biomes and/or desalinization plants.

4. Pathing -> I'm unsure if this falls to pathing or priority, but as is (as of Cosmis upgrade), the dupes are terminally stupid and must be babysat to ensure they don't get stuck, dig the floor out from underneath themselves, kill their friends, etc. I know this is much easier to say than to do, but I thought I would throw it out there.

5. Movable UI windows -> being able to resize/move the information windows would be lovely. I know in unity it's a bit of a pita to get min/max working just right, but allowing it to be draggable would be awesome.

6. I was going to mention steam turbines, but enough people have complained about this one.

7. Water -> It should act like a fluid, not a gel. As is now, it has more of a jello feel to it (at least to me) that a fluid.

Please don't take this post as negative, as the game is awesome, and I hope to see it just keep getting better, so I thought I would throw some stuff out there.

2. The hydrogen generator needs to output a bit more hydrogen. I realize this is a game, but it should be outputting more hydrogen than oxygen, and I think currently it outputs at like 8:1 oxygen (last I read). 

This is because the game deals in mass, not volume. The electrolyzer is perfectly accurate with regards to the mass output. ~112 grams hydrogen to ~888 grams oxygen.

Fair enough.
