Industrial ingredient has no unit, but lumber is in mass units

Lumber has category "industrial ingredient", but it is completely unlike other industrial ingredients in that it is divisible it has huge mass, more like consumable ores (except lime and eggshells, which would, ironically, fit better among industrial ingredients) or organics.

Because of that, having any non-negligible amount of lumber will make the display incorrect:

  • The resource display tries to show units, even for lumber, which should be displayed as mass, as it is when moused-over as item
  • The display tries to add up unitless value and mass, which is conceptually incorrect

Additionally, the "count" for industrial ingredients will be dominated by mass of lumber, where one kilogram is one "unit", which means that one harvest of lumber increases the "count" by two orders of magnitude more than one harvest of other industrial ingredients. While not necessarily a bug, this is also a flaw.


Steps to Reproduce
Harvest balm lily and lumber, look at resource display for them

Dangit Coolthulu you're too gosh darn smart for me! I came here looking to casually lurk, and got my mind melted. :wilson_cry:

I really think "consumable ore" should be changed to "consumable", and lumber lumped into there. It's used a lot similarly to coal anyways.
