It bothers me a bit that the way to play this game seems to be using exploits left and right. This is a very interesting game about real life physics and people are abusing the virtual nature of it and I dunno to me it just feels a bit off. Maybe a side effect of the game being very hard?
Am I the only one that wants to play this game without using glitches all the time?

This is a very interesting game about real life physics
I have two reactions here. Since one is just cackling laugher, I'll focus on the other. This is NOT a game about real life physics. It is so far from a game about real life physics, that you have to explicitly acknowledge it is a game that embraces the concept of simulated phyics to even begin to understand it.
Just a few things that come to mind that aren't possible in real life: hydrogen generators should require oxygen (as should coal and petroleum), electrolsysis should require more power than the resulting hydrogen generates not less, pressure damage should occur just as much from gasses as liquids, gases should mix rather than be one-per-cell, and on and on and on.
Compressed gasses should become hot liquids, pressure causing phase changes would make this a very very different game.
Can think of many ways to turn that to advantage but yea, vapor pressure being a thing and dealing with magma would be interesting
Or chemistry, I remember showing my husband once and he gasped out loud when I sent them into chlorine gas. I was omg THEY'RE FIIINE
Water's SHC is very slightly wrong.
Otoh Ice's and Steam's SHC is very very wrong
Semantics. This IS a game where the main components are real life gases, liquids, solids and how pressure, temperature interacts with them is very life like.
As opposed to a game about magic for example where everything is made up.
Of course at the end of the day it’s just a game but to me it’s like if people played roller coaster tycoon where you squeeze 100 people in a single wagon and make a ton of money say it’s ok because it’s a game mechanic.

I don't know how to respond to this. I don't want to jump to the assumption of asking you if you're just trolling us, but at the same time the sheer absurdity of this statement is simply incomprehensible.
Trying to chart a middle ground: no, it's not even remotely realistic. It's close enough that if you close your eyes and hum really loudly you might miss all the ways it's wrong, but once you start really working with them it's impossible to miss all the ways they're wrong. And that's if you outright ignore the inability of gas and liquids to mix.
Very life like, in two dimensions. Yeah
I’m talking about the components of the game…
I think you’re overestimating the life likeness of a game where everything collapsed into two dimensions, and extremely overestimating how life like the physics are in a game where you can seal infinite pressure in a room with a kilogram of liquid.
That’s an exploit and exactly the reason why it bothers me
It’s not an exploit, get off your high horse
I thought you were talking about infinite storage. Liquid airlocks are used in toilets.
