    11:08: Assuming the difference between an imperial inch and a metric inch is the same as that between an imperial ton and a metric ton, one metric inch is roughly 2.8 centimeters. One thousand metric inches would therefore be about 28 meters, and thousands of metric inches might be somewhere around the length of one American football field (an uncommon SI unit).

    • @edomeindertsma6669
      @edomeindertsma6669 Місяць тому +2

      I think a metric inch might just be an inch defined according to the SI system. So 1 in = 2.54 cm exactly, which is now the standard definition of an inch.
      A non-metric inch would be based on other physical constants or reference objects than the SI metre.

    If you start feeding the furnaces from the outside belts and output inside the throughput issue will go away. You have 2 full belts on the outside, use only half of each, and then output onto a half belt in the middle. I recommend using the outside belts for iron ore and coal. Giving you a total of one belt ore input and one belt plates output.

      @edomeindertsma6669 Місяць тому +1

      I think they did that so that new players would use quality modules only for the end of the production chain, where it is a lot more effective. And maybe so that it is more obvious to players when qualities get mixed, which is usually undesirable. But it would be nice if they added an option for the recipe to take any quality of items.
      Doing it it with different recipes is also easier to program, so maybe they haven't finished the mixed version yet.

      I think it also makes sense given that quality ingredients are relatively hard to get, you have to make a deliberate setup to get them.

    • @edomeindertsma6669

      I suspect Jade will be busy with Space Age obligations for a while. You'll probably have better luck if Baketorio adds Space Age support.

    Is the game otherwise fully vanilla? No other mods?

      You should start from scratch but i think you _can_ keep using a previous save

    "Metric inches'. NO! Bad youtuber. Leave your backwards imperial units out of the superior metric system.

    To be honest, definitely not a fan of the quality system. Seems like a very lazy way of trying to add complexity to the game, and will end up with most people just ignoring its existence or modding it out.

      I actually kinda agree. I don’t want spoilers, but not only am I being tempted with spoilers, theres no new spoiler free factorio content for a full week. For people who don’t mind tho I can see why youtubers would do it

    I love a lot of things about the new update, but Quality was one of the worst mistakes they ever thought of.
