Bricks weigh like bricks, and dense goods take the space they should
A unit of Bricks is a 40 kg stack rather than a single 3 kg brick, so its freight now matches concrete's per tonne. Steel, aluminium, copper wire, electrical wiring, glass and natural gas take less storage space, and natural gas ships by weight instead of by bulk.
The second half of the measures pass checked every remaining good against what it costs per tonne. All of them held up but one: a unit of Bricks sold for 19 USD at 3 kg, which is 6,400 USD a tonne, twenty-five times the real world, while Concrete beside it sits at 457. A unit of Bricks was never one brick; it is a stack, and it now weighs 40 kg. Freight for bricks rises to match, and a building that needs 350 of them now moves 14 tonnes of them.
Seven dense goods also took far more room than the material they name. Their volumes shrink, so they occupy less of your storage; van loads for six of them were already weight-bound, so their freight is unchanged:
| Good | Was | Now | |---|---|---| | Steel | 0.05 m³ | 0.02 m³ | | Aluminum | 0.03 m³ | 0.02 m³ | | Aluminum Sheet | 0.02 m³ | 0.015 m³ | | Copper Wire | 0.01 m³ | 0.006 m³ | | Electrical Wiring | 0.01 m³ | 0.005 m³ | | Glass | 0.03 m³ | 0.02 m³ | | Natural Gas | 0.15 m³ | 0.05 m³ |
- Natural gas ships by weight now. It used to fill a van by bulk long before it reached the van's payload; compressed to what it physically is, a van carries three times as much of it. - Volumes only ever shrink. No stock anywhere moved over its building's capacity because of this change. - Food, furniture, metals and consumer goods are unchanged. Their weight already matches their price per tonne.
