Too hot but 30 sec later too cold

[FractalRain]

LOL, a funny discussion on the temp side of things. As a scientist in the United States, I have to use both - Celsius is used completely for research. It helps me go back and forth, but it would be much simpler if the US would just convert.

That is a problem with that particular type of ammo, not with the metric system.

 

Tell that to the guy no longer with a face.

The biome generator should probably be tweaked, or let us toggle a "realistic biome generation" when doing random maps. It makes no sense to have desert for 1 kilometer, then snow for 200 meters and then desert again, where the temperatures are all wonky in between.

 

With a realistic toggle, the whole map would be either cold, medium temperature or hot. The maps are simply to small to warrant any larger temperature differences caused by biomes. The temperature should change depending on temporal effects and wind systems instead (day/night, warm/cold fronts).

The reason we are keeping distance has to do with Science. The length of a meter is constantly changing in tiny increments that would eliminate any accuracy in science over the course of year, decades... and since all of Metric is tied into the distance of meter's the entire system gets skewed. So the global standard in science, for distance, is miles.

 

Where are you getting your information that meter is changing in tiny increments? Meter has a precise defined length that is not changing. Look it up

 

The weather system is annoying and the bioms need better placement and i hate when i see snow next to a desert. Hope that fix it in the near future. But its not a gamebreaking thing to stop me from playing this great game

not true, international stardard is the system mks (metre, kilogram, second)

I always envision myself being down with a serious fever, chills one moment and feeling like I'm gonna go into hypothermia, and high fever the next, sauna time!

 

Pop a pain killer, that paracetamol should help

But the OP asked about temperature, not volume, mass, or distance. Centigrade converts directly to Kelvin so that has more relation to science, as well as relating directly to calories.

 

So to make it somewhat simple, Fahrenheit has the freezing point of distilled water at 32؛ rather than 0؛C, and the boiling point at 212؛ rather than 100؛C. So we can subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature to get a range of 0-180 rather than 0-100؛C.

 

To convert ؛F to ؛C x-32 = y and 5*y/9 = temperature in Centigrade. Simple.

Si units are not constantly changing. but they are scrutinised and when a better more stable/accurate method is agreed on then the standard is changed.

oh and a FYI as to which countries still use imperial....

Is there a way of turn the temperature off cuz it seems broken or is there a mod that fixes it?

 

If not is there a way to change it to Celsius? cuz I live in a first world country and are not used to the outdated system.

 

Thanks^^

 

There are first world countries that don't use Fahrenheit? That's strange.

Nothing wrong with temperature, the game is set in Melbourne Australia

Only three countries in the world use imperial measurement today. Liberia, Burma and the United States. Two of them are backwards countries that will never join the civilized world. The third one is located in South East Asia.
