Factory recipes now count in retail packs

Production recipes touching the re-weighed consumer goods were rescaled to the new pack units. Every cycle moves the same tonnage as before — the numbers on the recipe card just count packs now.
The recent grocery re-weigh changed what one unit means — a 25 kg sack of Flour became a 2 kg retail bag — but recipes still counted the old sacks, so a bakery cycle suddenly moved a fraction of the mass it used to. Recipe quantities now match the pack units, preserving each cycle's tonnage exactly:
- Flour Mill turns 200 Wheat into 2,250 packs of Flour (was 180 sacks — the same 4.5 t).
- Bakery bakes 1,250 packs of Flour into 940 loaves per cycle.
- Meat, Cannery, Food Processing and Dairy recipes scale the same way — same mass in, same mass out.
- The Oil Refinery now reads in litres: 200 Oil yields 8,000 L of Gasoline, matching its Jet and Marine Fuel recipes.
- Construction crews likewise burn fuel in litres — 425 L per full 48-hour assignment, the same tonnage as the old 8 drums.
Nothing about profitability, demand, or prices changed — a cycle consumes and produces exactly the tonnage it did before the re-weigh. Runs that were already queued finish on their old numbers.
