Option to use Imperial System of Measurement

Post by Cramson »

I know most of you will say that the Imperial system of measurement is inferior, flawed, blah blah blah. Lets get to the point. I was wondering if there could be an option added to the game to change from the Metric system to the Imperial system in the games options, because it is the only system of measurement I can read. It would be amazing if it could be added to the game as an option. I really like the game I just can't tell how hot or cold something is sometimes, etc. Thank you for reading! :D

0°C is freezing cold and 100°C is boiling hot.
That's all you need to know :)

I don't see the sense. It will lead to suggestion to measure the speed in mph and to increase the size of the tiles or ... :shock: left-hand traffic. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Factorio doesn't use metric or imperial. It uses tiles and the text just happens to read as if it was the metric system. You can just ignore it (or make a mod to change the locale) and treat it as tiles.

The same goes for fluid temperatures: it's purely a number with absolutely nothing to do with any actual measurement system. Water gives the most power at 100 units and less at lower unit amounts.

While we're at it, why are we using the American spelling "Armor"? The correct spelling is "Armour" =P
