Incorrect molar masses for diatomic gases

In sharedassets0.assets, the file Gas.txt has the incorrect molar masses for several diatomic gases, listing monoatomic molar masses. I believe this results in some incorrect gas sorting in-game, such as natural gas sinking below oxygen, when oxygen should have just under twice its molar mass.

These are the ones I saw with half the real molar mass:

  • Hydrogen (should be ~2)
  • Chlorine (should be ~70)
  • Oxygen (and Contaminated Oxygen, should be ~32)
  • Phosphorus (according to Wikipedia it has states P4 and P2 in gaseous phase, but molar mass is for P)

The others look correct, although to be honest I had a lot of trouble finding the molecular configurations of the more exotic ones (like carbon vapor). But I don't think having accurate molar masses for those should matter much, considering there isn't really a legitimate way to get them in-game.

Steps to Reproduce
Paint oxygen and natural gas, the natural gas sinks but it should rise

It might affect gameplay a little, like where to put pumps/scrubbers.

But we should move this to the feedback section since it is clearly not a bug. And more input from other players would be better so Klei can see if people want or don't care about it.
