+### Designing the in-game atmosphere
+
+New mechanics:
+
+- [ ] Ambient Pressure
+    - [ ] Depends on altitude
+- [ ] Temperature
+    - [ ] Ambient temperature
+    - [ ] Space suit temperature
+    - [ ] Vehicle temperature
+    - [ ] Air temperature inside?
+- [ ] Wind
+    - [ ] [Depends on latitude](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atmosphere_of_Jupiter&oldid=1255052800#Zones,_belts_and_jets)
+    - [ ] [Needs to account for vortices, red spots](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atmosphere_of_Jupiter&oldid=1255052800#Vortices)
+- [ ] Hydrogen (resource)?
+
+Relations between mechanics:
+
+- [ ] Pressure decelerates you
+    - relative to the motion of the planet plus the wind
+    - scaled by your surface area
+- [ ] [Buoyancy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy): upward acceleration depending on densities (yours and ambient), altitude (gravitational acceleration), and your mass
+    - Negligible for any current vehicles but could be cool for zeppelins
+- [ ] [Drag?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)) (with different drag coefficients depending on vehicle and angle)
+    - [ ] [Form drag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_drag#Form_drag)
+    - [ ] [Lift-induced drag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-induced_drag)
+- [ ] Death at pressure of ~400 bar through implosion (depending on vehicle)
+- [ ] Death at high temperatures through continuous damage when temperature exceeds 60°C
+- [ ] Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water, used for evaporative cooling (works only at right pressure/temperature)

+# Chemistry
+
+- [X] Oxygen
+- [ ] Hydrogen
+
+## Uses
+
+- [X] Oxygen
+    - [X] Breathing
+- [ ] Hydrogen
+    - [ ] Thruster fuel? (reacting with O2?)
+    - [ ] Ion engine?
+- [ ] Water (H2O)
+    - [ ] Evaporative cooling?
+- [ ] [Hydrogen Peroxide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide)? (H2O2)
+    - Does this have any uses?
