Okay, thanks a lot! I'll do it for the old energy page.

Also, I need proofreading for the Knowledge page. Don't hesitate to point out not only grammatical mistakes, but also style or content problems.

EDIT:
While I only rarely play multiplayer, I don't fully master the sharing mechanism. Can someone fill the chapter, or at least explain it and someone (me?) will edit the wiki. Thanks in advance!

Speaking of wiki, I stumbled across the DNode page. It mention trojan DNodes that removes metal. Is this still true? Or does it need to be removed from the DNode page?
No; yes.  They were removed on the grounds that they really just encouraged savescumming.

From what I've been told, if your metal hits your max cap, if an ally hasn't hit theirs, your MPS (Metal per second) goes to them until you fall out from under your cap.

That's my understanding anyway, I have yet to try this because everyone I've tried to play with has quit on me the first session x_x

Yep, I think this part is as simple as this. I also expect the overflowing metal is evenly shared between all non-full players, but it needs either testing or Chris/Keith/old-pro-player to confirm. However, I think to remember there is a way to give a precise amount of metal in a one-time deal. We need more precision and testing to fill in the wiki.

It's in the alt-right-click menu.

I'd like to help out if I can. I've edited the Knowledge article. I was aggressive with removing what I considered to be extraneous detail; pull it back out of history if you disagree with my changes.

I have a casual game with two other players going on at the moment. If anyone would like to join as a guest, let me know and I'll loop you into the next scheduling.

So you think the detailed content and comments of the tech tabs are extraneous. Yeah, maybe they fit poorly in the Knowledge page. Then, maybe we could make a human tech page, with comments on use[ful/less]-ness of different unlocks. What do you think?

I think that's an excellent idea. We can have a full table of the default unlocks available, with links. That way it doesn't  interfere with the prose, and it could be a great way to explore opening strategies.

Those removed comments are the kind of thing that really need to be on their own page(s), separating out mechanical facts from strategic opinion.

I love this community.

I'll do it one day, but if someone feels brave enough to do it before, do it!

Here's CSV to play around with. It's not perfect, but it's a start.
