How come the numbers can total to more or less than 100%? And how are the atmosphere composition calculated? Do cells change the atmosphere by their chemical processes?

The photosynthesizers create the oxygen. The system needs some tweaking though.

I thought it was fixed a while ago to not add up to over 100%?

There should always be the βotherβ category visible if the gas percentages donβt end up as 100%. Though I guess due to GUI display rounding it is possible that like the all percentages add up to like only 99.9% or something. In that situation the player should imagine the βotherβ category being shown as 0.01%.
But the way the gases are calculated is that they are all made into estimated absolute values (based on estimated patch volume), then changes are applied, and then finally the percentages are recalculated. So they should always match up to 100% once the other compound amounts are driven out by generated other gases.
Or at least thatβs how I recall it being without re-checking the code.

Eh it being misaligned by 0.01% doesnβt seem like that much of a deal

I am not seeing the βotherβ category in my game

I think it might sometimes disappear later into the game. Itβs termed βother gassesβ and should be present next to other gasses in the editor species report section on the right. I think itβs represented by a grey hex with a ββ¦β on it

nevermind, i do but it was very hidden

I am not sure if we do need to increase the noticeablility of the environmental compounds section in the report tab of the editor basing off of this commentβ¦

Maybe outlining the numbers with cyan or chartreuse would help?

Maybe each gas should have itβs own color?

So us swooping down to the level Mojang is at currently? (Honestly it might not be that bad considering they are apparently doing some stuff on the technical level)

That explains why then. I suppose before you all people asking about this would get their answer by looking around the editor

So theroetically if I made a bunch of photosynthesizing cells, they would flood the world with oxygen?
maybe we should switch from a percentages system to a partial pressure system tbh but idk

CO2 levels would drop and aerobes would begin consuming the oxygen so no

Also, CO2 levels do not change with Fermentation from Hydrogenases in game.

Which prevents the co2-o2 balance from getting unstable/divergent from the intended pathways
