Science Repository Discussion

[AmpsterMan]

So, with the new version coming out, there is going to be science to be done. I imagine that there is going to be some unique flavor text that provides science depending on what sort of experiments are done where. That being said, I bring to the forefront this discussion

Should there be a fanmade repository for the different science experiments, their requirements, the flavor text, and science value?

Though it might ruin it for some, I think there should be such a repository. It should be handled similarly to how the anomalies are handled on the wiki. A small spoiler page that doesn't give too much information away but tells you "Hey, this is here"

You have heard my opinion, please discuss yours below

P.S. I have said elsewhere that I think a kind of museum building that houses all of the data you have discovered about the different places in the solar system should be added later on. I think of something like the museum in

. Alas, this isn't a discussion, however, on whether your scientific achievements should be tracked in your own game but rather if a concerted effort should be made to track them in the meta-game.

While I wouldn't personally go through the effort of creating such a thing... I can see myself using it from time to time to see if there was some flavor text I hadn't yet seen... and determine how to obtain it.

Or I might not use it at all... I've tried looking at the anomalies page and it provides way too little info to be of use in finding the anomalies. If I want to find anomalies I have to use youtube videos and hope they show the map view once they have arrived... My point is it was useless and I had to seek other means of finding the info I needed... the location marked on a map...

So if such a thing were to exist... the anomalies page is not at all what I'd want it to be like.

Personally, I'd rather replace the green goo. I don't think it's nice to do cruel experiments to young kerbals in larval form. Instead, we should test apertures.

Aperture science!

I have no doubt someone will make a mod for it people have already modded in science parts to .22 and it's still in experimental stage

I like the museum idea. It'd be nice to have a building that showcased your discoveries and was a bit silly like the museum in "outer wilds".

It'd make it easier to keep track of what science and experiments you still need to run.

I had assumed that the atmosphere of kerbin has an ambient level of vaporized kerbals that cover everything in a thing green goo film. Too many exploded rockets.

I'd like to see a combined list of all the different contexts each instrument can measure as well as some way to keep track of which measurements were done. We know there are a certain number of instruments and that you get different results in different contexts. I assume the combination of those two lists--instruments and contexts--yields something like all possible unique observations by instrument. It would be fun to try to complete the list (even in sandbox mode) or to complete it for a given planet or satellite.
