Prior to the Washington Naval Treaty in the early 1920s, there was only one ton in the Imperial measurement system, at 2,000 lbs. However, because the metric tonne is 1,000 kg, the long ton was introduced to allow for equivalent ship displacement between the signatories. For instance, cruisers were limited to 10,000 tons, and the nations using imperial just used long tons. In other words, it's metric's fault imperial has two tons.
Generally in the US when someone says ton they mean 2000 lbs otherwise they say "metric ton". Fun Fact: In the US mechanics usually have two sets of tools, one standard and one metric, since nuts and bolts come in both standard and metric sizes.
Yeah 99% of Manufacturing Companies in the States use both Metric and Imperial. While we might not Adopt the Metric systems, we sure can use it thanks to Capitalism!
I would ask the following questions: Do recipes ever change? Why would there need to be a reason to sync anything if it will never change? If it doesn't need to be synced, why not copy it to the 'No Group Assigned' section?
I think the green combinator is for remote signals, and could work across planets. you likely have a frequency/channel setting and it will output everything that is input on the channel. (there is an input and output side)
The new graph combinator (16:20) may be due to Nilaus complaining in his self expanding factory series that there is no graph for the accumulator charge. I think they decided to permanently fix any complaints of that kind by giving the player the ability to graph anything. But why would it have an output, then? Reading any parameter that an item might have can also be useful (especially for quality). But a combinator is not where you'd implement that feature. Imagine you hook the following up to a wire: one belt piece full with high-quality gears and a box with a half stack of medium-quality gears, and a constant combinator set to -18 base gears. What would the combinator receiving that signal show for the gear quality? Reading quality would be more of a feature that is handled where the items are detected (belts, boxes, train stops, ...). I'd expect the quality to be 6 additional signal types, and an place that reads items has an "include quality" checkbox. Then the above example would just output 8+100-18=90 gears as well as 8 on the "high quality" signal, 100 on the medium quality signal and -18 on the base quality signal (in case the constant combinator sends that, which you'd probably have to manually set in addition to the gear signal). But the symbol doesn't look like a "stats" symbol (I'd use an "i" for that), it looks like a "graph" symbol. And for an integrator, I'd be using a triangle that increases in the other direction...
12:42/13:46 - surprising indeed. I mean, it's not _technically_ something that's _completely_ wrong, because this spelling does get used for what, at least in the U.S., is usually referred to as a "metric ton" (with that spelling -- or a tonne, as you discuss), but... Yeah. I'd spell it tonne if I were them. Actually, I think if I were them I'd spell it Mg (megagram). And I'd encourage them to do that. :) And then we can talk about bases that can do a Gg/m (gigagram/minute), or whatever. :D Anyway, really interesting changes overall... I'm not sure I like all of 'em, but I am sure I'm excited to play with it all.
Yep, A "tonne" is a synonym for a "metric ton", whereas an imperial "ton" is 2000 pounds (~907kg). I understand that reading "Ton" causes people to assume that it means the imperial variant, because victims of the imperial system use "tonne" to distinguish the metric version from their imperial ton. But because the bar fills up in kilograms, it is very heavily implied that a metric system is used. It would be really weird to measure the part in metric, and the total in imperial. So it's safe to assume that the total is 1000kg, a.k.a. 1 metric ton.
They should have left rockets the same--It's the core challenge in the game. What if I WANT plenty of power on the platform? Can I catch enough ice to run a reactor? How about barrelling water. They should have left the inventory in place. The motivator is automation, not a goofy artificial limit. Kovarex is definitely being facetious about recycling modules. I still refuse to engage with the quality mechanic. My current frustration with trash slots is that they don't return to the inventory if you go back below the limit.

I doubt copy-paste of a recipe into a requester would create a new group. The 'No Group Assigned' section is not shared between different requesters.

The red/green logic i want is values on red, and a mask on green. So a per-item multiply.

I really want to know if new power sources can be utilised in the expansion.
you need 100 rocket parts, now 5, right?
so 1000 of each ingredient turns into 50.

Ton is metric.
You even say 1 metric ton.
Which is 1000kg

As an american..and a chef. I can't stand the imperial system. Metric is so much easier for my job so I use it more than imperial
