Terry worked up prototype fabricators and added them to the sheet.
So if you don't want to wait for the next full update, here's the interim.

The prototype is the last triplet set in each grouping. (bottom of each type section, with the word Prototype in friendly letters as a header)
 
Just a real quick question. Were you going to add Internal Aquatic Environment, Internal Deepwater Environment and Aquatic Living Space to the spreadsheet. They are from Solomani Front source book page 129?

I probably can, but I don't have that book.
 
Minor fix. 2025.04.11b
Something went wrong between messing with planetoids and correcting to wedge/needle etc to Streamlined, which caused the formulae looking at planetoids to look at Spheres. Works correctly now.
 
Over the years, we have seen many custom pc projects on the web that cooled a computer using common vegetable oil, including a very popular video by Tom’s Hardware. After seeing all these projects, we had a lot of ideas of how we could do it better and more easily. Many projects used vegetable oil, which would go rancid after a short time. So we instead used clear mineral oil which is odorless and completely clear. We also wanted to use an appropriate enclosure — many other projects used a clear acrylic case, and they had to painstakingly seal each rear connector to keep the oil from leaking. We wanted to put the ports on top to solve that problem the simple way — with gravity. Other people have built systems in aquariums before, but they were always oversized and square. We wanted to use our tools and experience to custom build a solution in exactly the size we needed. This was only intended as a fun project, to see what we could accomplish, but we have freely share the results of our testing over the years, including thermal performance and long term effects.
 
On Aquatic/Deep Water.
Minimal implementation would be selection of environment if mixed, and the tonnage put to each. Then input the number of staterooms assigned to aquarium status.
What is the consensus?
Minimal implementation or something like the treatment for Multi Environment, where you can designate how much of each type of system is in which environment?
If the latter, it may be better to split environments off into their own sub-tab.



Opinions?

Opinions?
It sounds like a can of worms (eels?). Each side has points in its favor and I really don't have an opinion one way or the other.
