The Quest For More Info - Item Info

    I always wonder what qualities elements have just when I'm in the middle of making a fantastic doo-dad or thingy. I hate it. Then I go to the wiki, look for about 10 minutes and realise that the reason my perfect laser isn't working anymore is because I replaced the thingy with the doo-dad and I stuffed it.

     

    In other words I'd love to see a linked in system where as long as you are signed in and have internet connection there should be a way to access more detailed tooltips. Not 'Tungsten. Brittle metal with a very high melting point.'. Something along the lines of a shortened wiki page, perhaps that little box with all the stats and a little more on the side.

     

    The reason for internet connection is because for people with poor internet, keeping the game small is awesome. Having all the info stored might up the size a bit. I'm personally not sure how much, but it will, I can be certain of that. In this sense I don't have to go out and search the forums for an answer to my question, I can just access it right inside the game.

     

    I'm interested to see you peoples' insights on this, for allI know there may well be a much better way of doing it. (Or this idea might already be in place. :/)

    Someone could probably make a lua script which does exactly what Factorial is saying; every element has its own page on the wiki. Not all of it has unique / useful information but it is all there.

    We could also try including the entire wiki itself into the game, but it would quickly become outdated, and also there is a ton of formatting on it which only shows correctly in your browser. I would rather just have it open the page in the browser instead of in game.

    The wiki is updated by users daily. Also, I think we should update the wiki more often.

     The "LIFE" Category is based on a game called Game of Life. 

    Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

     He's just being ignorant.
