PsychoIndividuo Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Water to my super computer was not available so i took a while to create a solution to that. Now the problem im facing is the water is being consumed too fast. I looked at what was going on and the super computer is consuming 4000+ gallons per second. Is there some work around or will i have to start a new game?

The Plum Gate Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 @PsychoIndividuo mine is using 4814 g/s ..that's grams per second, not gallons - everything is dealt with in terms of weight, not volume.

The problem is with our freedom units. we're used to 'pounds' which is a measure of weight. In freedom-challenged countries that use the metric system, they refer to things in killograms, which is a measure of mass. So, because of our wonderful freedom-funded school system, we tend to confuse 'mass' with 'weight,' since we always use a weight unit when referring to the mass of something. (PS: Just to be clear, I'm poking fun at my own country, not at the rest of the world where they use the metric system.)

Kabrute Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My horse is 7 hands high, my fence is 6 feet tall, which is supposed to be 2 yards but my yard is bigger than average I guess....XD atleast no one I know of uses furlongs anymore660 feet, 220 yards, 40 rods, or 10 chains and I don't know whose rods or chains to use for this basis so I give up Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/102177-super-computer-glitch/#findComment-1147562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Don't forget barrels and bushels as units of volume for liquid or dry goods, respectively. How many gallons goes into a barrel again?

The Plum Gate Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 6 hours ago, angrybovine said: Grams is mass, not weight. oh good, so it's not dealt with in terms of volume. I'm in the US, so yeah, forgive my fumbling of general terms, as well as the original poster. Typically we would see Gallons used over time in minutes as Gpm. This is standard on hydraulic equipment and in many other situations. And, the OP probably just saw a giant bottle of water getting delivered and assumed, since they look like the 5 gallon drinking jugs, that it would be measured in gallons somewhere down the line. I never find myself using the word mass unless something is massive - which is a skewered term associated with something unusually voluminous or emotionally rapturous. The very thought of mass is broken in the US. Many will frown upon the use of weight to describe mass here on Earth - but i'm trying to convey this to the OP in in the given context as fast as possible considering the screw up. Since we know the weight can change depending on gravity, we seperate the generalities here in real life. In the game, we only know one gravity ( and it never changes in the game ). So the two terms are practically interchangeable since we have no chemistry, there's no need for mass ( if your an imperial system kind of person) unless your doing thermal calculations. Other bit of humor: When converting pounds to tons: long tons comes up shorter than short tons. Metric tons are in between. I was a bit amused by the fact that one of my dupes that weighed only 75KG ( I'm sorry again, how do I say that it massed 75Kg ?) could lift more than a ton of weight (mass? really, I just can't speak like this and have it sound like the language it came from ).

Craigjw Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 As for myself, being an Imperialist English scum, we use the Imperial system for measurement, This includes Grams, Meters & Litres. We DO NOT like to use that out-dated and illogical metric system that uses Gallons, Pounds and Ouzes, it's just not English and it's just not correct.

[...] To be pedantic, you could assert that g in ONI is 1 m/s^2 (making kg and N numerically equivalent and interchangeable) and make everyone else prove otherwise. I would argue that the reason Americans and non-scientists use "weight" and "mass" interchangeably is because most of us only know "one gravity" *here on earth*. So even though g isn't constant everywhere on earth, for our purposes, it is. The folks who need to understand varying g are rocket scientists, which should include...people who play ONI, since we have rockets! Too bad we don't need actual rocket science to play the game. Although, an ONI/KSP cross would probably be just overwhelming. Having just enough KSP to make stages/booster designs an interesting gameplay element would be pretty awesome, though.
