Destinations and Screenshots

So there are a total of 59 possible destinations (assuming I counted correctly...) for an Anomaly/Space Encounter. The Tiled map files can be found in assets/dungeons/space/spaceencounter. Here's an overview of the dungeon files and the associated screenshots, so nobody loses track.

I got some 'Asteroid Mining' Screenshots, can someone check them against the game files to see what their numbers are? — The miniluv (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2017 (BST)
Hey, thanks for helping out with the screenshot. Just to be clear, I don't think we need a screenshot for every mining asteroid. Maybe three or five should be enough. The page is getting quite large already. — Blackice (talk) 21:41, 9 July 2017 (BST)
Well, I guess we could try to get 1-7 finished. If we get more, we'll put them in. Maybe instead, we could try to make some of the images smaller? — The miniluv (talk) 00:40, 10 July 2017 (BST)
The small preview/thumbnail images on the main page are automatically generated by Mediawiki, but they are unfortunately png files instead of jpgs, which wastes valuable page size. I don't know how to change that... — Blackice (talk) 08:43, 10 July 2017 (BST)
I think that what we could do is we could try and rename the image files. It could take a lot of time, but if you are right and it would save page size, it could be beneficial. — The miniluv (talk) 14:38, 10 July 2017 (BST)
About the missing Space Camp and Shelter images: I've been playing 1.3 since it was in Unstable, and I have NEVER encountered any besides the ones in here. Is it possible that some of them are only there in asset form, and are not seen in-game? — The miniluv (talk) 00:47, 10 July 2017 (BST)
So, I just scrolled over the spaceencounter.dungeon file, and it seems like all space camps and shelters are listed there with a chance of 1. The one thing that doesn't actually spawn in-game is the neutral_novakid1 encounter (Some sort of empty, unfinished dome structure). I'll mark it in the table. - Blackice (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2017 (BST)
I have a new screenshot for filing: Space Encounter Screenshot - Mining Asteroid C.jpgThe miniluv (talk) 18:39, 11 July 2017 (BST)
Hey, nice. :) That was neutral_mining_asteroid5, I think. I added it to the page and to the table here as well. — Blackice (talk) 19:00, 11 July 2017 (BST)

Page Structure

A thought on organizing the page... I'm feeling like a bullet-list THEN followed by a screenshot gallery seems... space-wasteful and a little less helpful than a single image gallery that's split up as the bullet list is. I'm generally not a fan of making people hunt for info unnecessarily, even if it's just scrolling downpage. Present the image as soon as you present the "this exists". — MSipher (talk) 18:50, 8 July 2017 (BST)

Yeah, the bullet list definitely feels a bit redundant. But we don't have screenshots of all the (interesting) destinations, so I'd suggest to keep it up for now. I'll put the two lists in a table, to reduce the wasted space. — Blackice (talk) 19:16, 8 July 2017 (BST)
I'm wondering if a "screenshot needed" placeholder image wouldn't be a bad idea, like this here. We wouldn't need a full template, just a placeholder image to plop into a gallery with a caption under it for thie currently-missing stuff. That way we can layout stuff first and plug in later, saving some work and reader frustration (plus really make it easy to see what's missing and correct that). --MSipher (talk) 22:46, 8 July 2017 (BST)
