I'd bet there must be a way to tweak the clicks-to-grav formula to yield unambiguous values even after rounding. Trouble is, patching the beast in the binary might be quite difficult. Confused

Also, if you make a minor change to something like that so that the numbers are a little different, it leads to great confusion when people describe or publish races (is that the old 17% grav or the new one?). The current system is at least unambiguous for race design, as a hab must always be an even number of clicks wide.

Quite the contrary. Many published race designs are ambiguous thanks to Grav Shocked

, and need resorting to clicks to avoid confusion. That would indeed be one of the reasons to make Grav truly unambiguous. Very Happy

Nothing would be lost, and much confusion would be avoided. Cool

The only ones who would pay the penalty of "is that new-grav or old-grav?" should be those already ambiguous races, anyway. Razz

One possible change would be:
current values: 0.12, 0.12, 0.13, 0.13, 0.14, 0.14, 0.15, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17 Confused

unambiguous: 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16 Cool

Here, the only "net loss" would be the original 0.16g which was not ambiguous in fact. Too bad.

I'd rather worry about how to insert the new "grav display formula", whatever form it finally took, into the old code. Sherlock
