Helium isn't appearing for me after unlocking atomic stability. I then used an autoclicker to unlock the rest of the elements, and helium is still missing. Also, the chart's layout is weird. Idek how this layout happened.

I'm still excited to see this game develop. I've always been a fan of universe-building incremental games.
EDIT: Apparently, there are 2 other elements missing since there are only 115 elements and I have all the upgrades. I think it's Ts and Og
oh, it is missing, i will fix that soon, also the layout is of a periodic table, that's why it looks like that
Which layout are you using? I'm only familiar with ones that have Ce-Lu (58-71) and Th-Lr (50-103) in rows below the rest of the table.
oh, i see what is wrong with it,, i have the elements arranged in atomic weight order, i will update it to look more accurate
It should look more accurate now!!
Yep the layout looks correct now, apart from Helium. It's much easier to read it now :)
it took a while to figure out why helium wasnt showing up, but it is visible in the current build XD
