Items per minute / hour #15

Closed dhardy closed 7 years ago

dhardy commented 7 years ago

Instead of entering all production rates per second, could it be possible to enter per minute? I'm not sure if the best way would be via a global option or appending a 'unit' like 5m.

I'm not sure it is necessary as you can simply replace, in your head, all "per second" by "per minute". For instance, if I ask for 1 Science Pack 2 per second, it tells me I need 5.5 Iron Plates per second. So to get 1 Science Pack 2 per minute, I need 5.5 Iron Plates per minute :)

@dhardy @doomeer I second OP:s suggestion for at least changing stuff to be per minute instead of seconds. The hour or custom configurable is not needed imo.

Almost everything in factorio is calculated per minute and not per second. For me the site is kinda useless if i still have to sit and recalculate everything all the time from /sec to /min

That's easy to do as it's just a matter of display (numbers won't change) so I can do that ;)

Actually I think a long time ago somebody wanted me to change from /min to /s. So I guess both cases are useful. I may try to implement a setting.

I realize now that my previous remark was wrong, it's not just about changing /s to /min in your head, because for the number of assembly machines it's not that simple; so there is indeed value in having the setting :)

Done! Added a new "Time Unit" setting in the Advanced Settings panel.

Awesome, good enough for me :) :+1:
