[1.21d] Air cargo capacity rounding for 250kg capacity

Post by alocritani »

When designing an air transport it's possible to select between several capacities

the selected value is then converted in "carry" stats and can be used for air brigde.

For example a transport with 3000kg of capacity is displayed as carry 30 and, if using 20 of them for an air brigde, it translates to 60 LP (3000kg x 20 transports = 60000 kg = 60tons -> 60 LP)
by the way the 60 tons -> 60 LP contrast with what is stated in the manual but I think it's ok to keep it that way

Until here, all it's ok but if I design a very small transport with only 250kg of capacity, rounding occurs:
250kg is rounded to carry = 2, so 20 transports now only gives me 4 LP (200kg x 20 transports = 4000kg = 4 tons -> 4 LP)

without rounding it would have been 5 LP (250kg x 20 transport = 5000kg = 5 tons -> 5LP).

While it may seems a very small difference it's indeed a 20% one (200 vs 250).

This happens only for the 250kg capacity because is the only capacity that is not an exact multiple of 100kg; a quick solution would be changing 250kg to 200kg: no rounding, no problems!

Final note, very minor: 3000kg is expressed as "3000kg" but 5000kg is expressed as "5K": maybe it could be changed to 3000kg -> "3K" for "simmetry", keeping the kg dispaly just for 100 -> 1800 (not exact 1K multiples)
