#Spacechem metacritic how to

Lastly, here are some practical tips for how to debug a balky design: Yes, there are two different layouts for the 'standard' 2x2 square, and yes, the Super-Bonder really is that weird. Research (2) (Presumably, can't verify) 1 2

The bonder order is different for different reactor types:.

This is supported by the fact that mouse-wheel clicks are not saved in the undo history like everything else. Yes, it makes a clicking sound, but I could not get the bond order to change on my test molecule of BO2 no matter how I mouse-wheeled.

Bonder order is not affected by mouse-wheeling on the bonders, at least not in the latest version.

(Credit to Timbo for figuring this out.) This is why the list above doesn't lead to double-bonding: If the layout is 2-1, then the entry (1,2) in the list above doesn't trigger, since 2 (the second bonder) is to the right of the first bonder.

However, bonding only occurs if the second bonder is directly below or to the right of the first bonder.

Bonding proceeds with an outer loop across all the bonders and an inner loop across all the bonders.

This number is determined by its initial position in the reactor.

Each bonder has an invisible priority number, 1-8.

Some of the other answers are wrong, and it bugs me that the rest is split over multiple posts, so based on thorough research here is my definitive list of how bonding works: The mouse wheel trick seems to be doing something (it made a click and I assume processed an action), but I could not change the output of (a). So there is evidently some structure to the evaluation, but each of these six cases is contradicted by another one (if we assume the bonders evaluate in order) i.e., if (a) is the correct order, then why in (b) does the bonder prefer (2,3) over (1,2)? This is true for every case. (Each group is identified by the bonder in the middle.) I reran this many times, and there was always a 50% split with one group preferring 'L' bonding, one group preferring 'R' bonding, and one group being split. I recorded the results of the six combinations of bonders. I did the following experiment: three bonders in a horizontal row, with an unbonded H at each one. I don't think that there is a strict order of bonder preference it is based on something else.
