	--[[User:Bloby\|Bloby]] (Edited): I see what you mean about the different properties, and agree that it needs to be clear that the kits and their constructs are different. That said, I'm not sure that the best way to achieve that is to have separate pages for them: this would result in more than 100 new pages often containing only a few sentences of information. Your point that we should be consistent across items is well taken, and so maybe the best way to deal with this is to give each item one page. The infobox for the kit (the actual item) could be put at the top of the page, with the constructs as subsections (and separate infoboxes) below. Otherwise you're putting the constructs (not an item) on even footing with the kit (an item). The [[Atmospherics]] page is a good example of this. The exact templating scheme could be adjusted to reflect this; for example, it might be worth having differently styled boxes for items vs constructs. Does this sound reasonable?		--[[User:Bloby\|Bloby]] (Edited): I see what you mean about the different properties, and agree that it needs to be clear that the kits and their constructs are different.

			== Efficient Energy Conversion with Steam Turbines ==

			A [https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/steam-turbine-market-4618 steam turbine] is a mechanical device that converts thermal energy from pressurized steam into mechanical energy through rotary motion. This mechanical energy is commonly used to generate electricity in power plants. The process involves directing high-pressure steam onto a series of blades mounted on a shaft, causing the shaft to spin. Steam turbines are highly efficient and are widely used in thermal power stations, nuclear plants, and various industrial processes. They offer advantages such as high power output, durability, and the ability to run continuously for long periods with minimal maintenance.

			== How to layout stationpedia excerpts ==

			Currently, most articles with stationpedia quotes put the quote after the '''description''' section. An alternative to this is to put it in the top section. I personally think we should migrate all articles to this variant because I think it makes the structure look better.

			:I strongly disagree with these excessively long names! In every case where an individual item or structure is warranted it's own article, the article name should be identical to the English translation of the name. In the case of multiple things with the same name, any clarification should be following the name, not in some obscure naming scheme. I don't care so much about names of guides. We don't need atomic articles for every single item or structure in the game. Note that there are two major types of "things" in the game - items and structures (also reagents, gasses, dynamic objects, etc). An item that is a kit is generally used to place a structure. I don't like the idea of having an article for the kit item alone, and forcing the user to jump through hoops to find the actual information about the structure.
