I've been really enjoying this game ( to the tune of 300 hours so far) but as I'm learning everything it is incredibly frustrating not knowing what a machine will do before I build it. Please include all inputs and outputs in the in-game wiki even if it's not in the tooltip.

for example. in trying to get oil refined into plastic  I had to find an oil vent and build a pump and get the crude and the petroleum to each building before I understood the needed inputs and outputs. Please organize this information better so that we can plan ahead without having to go online to research how to make it work

Things I need to know:

  • Gas pipe inputs, Gas pipe outputs (not just that there are some, I need to know what they do before I build the building)
  • Fluid inputs, Fluid outputs
  • Environmental inputs, Environmental outputs
  • thermal effect (+ or -) 
  • and rates of each of the above

In the screenshots below you will notice in particular the Polymer Press shows that it will produce steam and C02 but not how, 2 gas outputs? 1 gas one liquid? both to environment? in order to understand and plan it is important to be more clear. 

i.e. Polymer Press

  • Liquid pipe input: petroleum @ ###/sec
  • Gas pipe output: CO2 @ ###/sec
  • Environmental output: Steam @ ###/sec 
  • Environmental heat: +100deg
  • Power: 240W

Perhaps the descriptions should have 3 sections: Input, Output, Effect. but as it is, there isn't a clear description of flows that I should expect.

then for something simple like a Gas pump or Air pump:

  • Input:
  • Environmental liquid @ 100 gal/ sec
  • Output: 
  • Liquid pipe (any) @ 100 gal/ sec

Bottle emptier:

  • Input: bottled liquid (any, selectable)
  • Output: Environment liquid
