Atomcraft on Steam
store.steampowered.com
A sandbox adventure where every pixel is physically and chemically simulated! Build intricate, fully functional machines from the pixels around you. Harvest, react, and manipulate all 118 elements to craft everything from simple tools to complex systems.

I’ve been looking for something that can prepare hydrofluoric acid from fluorite and sulfuric acid for some time, and I’ve finally found such a game.

The idea of the game is to collect every element on the periodic table to repair your ship. Compounds with several elements won’t work - only compounds that consist of a particular element are eligible.

And how do you do that? You have to react things with each other to make new compounds. And/or you use heat to do it. Or, you use electrolysis to separate elements (I like the electrolysis reaction where salt is separated into sodium and chlorine gas). Or you use your particle accelerator gun to make synthetic elements.

There are a bunch of reactions missing (you can’t mix pure sodium and fluorine to get NaF on the spot), but there are enough to get all the elements. I had a fun time with it.

    The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
    translations into non-English languages (otherwise I could not translate the game into everyone’s language in good time)

    If I had a chance to adventure the title, I would have the English language set, but I do not believe it’s fair for other people who don’t understand English, to read, understand, realize, comprehend, and trust a LLM/“AI” sorrowful slop the author had no way to verify and realize themselves even.

    I believe that the authors who do not understand other languages should never implement them themselves and request either professionals or open-source/collective services instead like:
    - https://crowdin.com/
    - https://weblate.org/

    A crowd-based translation would at least make it more fair, transparent, and accurate, inscribing the artwork in the infinite history with no nonsense/slop/disrespect but with indeed respect for art, people, the ineffably magnificent languages, and the history itself…

    The translation effort for Prism Launcher is hosted on Weblate, and information about translating Prism Launcher is available at https://github.com/PrismLauncher/Translations.

    All in all, sorry, I would purchase a license and support the author, since I like the concept (and I hope it was crafted/created without LLM…), but I will not.
    I will not, and try never, support such a work… so to help someone out there not reading an LLM-generated nonsense without even having a dear idea they do so.
    Some may not even notice the Steam Store annotations as the “AI” note but believe the “translated” as they were supervised by the author, yet the author did not even realize the translated at all but chose a LLM-based bloody-awful nonsense sorrow…
