    The title says it all add english mesurments i find reading the Temp in Celius is harder than Ferinhight

    If you are saying use the British system of temperature, we are, if you are saying change it to celsius, it is celsius, if you are saying add farenheit, why, and use the search bar, it has been suggested loads of times.

    Download Jacob1's mod, you can change the temp system to Farenheit.

    Point is it's super easy to convert from what the game uses internally (Kelvin) to what the game shows on the outside (degrees Celsius). Fahrenheit is a stupid scale anyways. >:(

    hah, my temperature scale is the best.

    temperature when technetium-97 vapourises equals 0.3333333343333333 mniips, the temperature of sun core equals pi*sqrt(20)^(ln 2^e) mniips,

    I will probably eventually add the option to customize the HUD into the real game, but I suggest you just use C for now, it's easy to understand, and it would be confusing with people talking in two different temperature measurement systems.

    You will learn Celsius quickly just by playing the game. The Fahrenheit temperature isn't really useful to know in tpt anyway.

    It was hard for me to adjust from F to C, but it will come. Just keep looking at the temps of things and know some baseline temps, like at 60 degrees C, stickmen will begin to take damage.

    22C is also room temp (default spawn temp for most elements), and -273.15 is absolute 0 (remember this, it's useful for real life in chemistry too). There are a few other important temps that you will eventually get also.

    There is one thing I made Fahrenheit in the game. paper burns at Fahrenheit 451 (a book I had to read), and so now PHOT doesn't make things burn unless it's at least that hot. I don't remember what that came out as in Celsius.

    Fahrenheit 451 was an interesting book. I couldnt imagine not being able to legaly read. That would suck. As far as going from C to F, I suggested it over 2 years ago. If it hasnt been implemented yet, it probably wont be implemented anytime in the near future either.
