Round 113g to 110g or 100g?

Context: #6014

There has been a disagreement about whether weights ranging from 101g to 120g should be rounded to 100g or 110g. After a lengthy dev chat without resolution, we're opening a poll to let players decide.

Option 1: Round 113g to 100g

• Since UI defaults to SI units, displaying it as 0.10 kg is more visually intuitive than 0.11 kg.
• 23 of 0.10 kg items sum up neatly to 2.30 kg, whereas 0.11 kg requires extra thought step to determine it's 2.53 kg.
• Granularity such as 110g is neither 'accurate' or 'readable' (does that turban really benefits player if it was 110g instead of 100g?).
• thus, round range from 101g to 119g to 100g for more intuitive UI.

Option 2: Round 113g to 110g

• By allowing for the 10s place, greater granularity is allowed in the weights and the weights are more accurate
• By rounding 120g down to 100g, you lose a full kilogram for every 50 items. For most materials, this is a perfectly realistic amount to obtain
• The game calculates weight for you on item stacks, meaning you don't have to do mental math on item weights in the first place
• Choose 110g for more accurate weights with plenty intuitive UI

Option 3: Keep 113g as-is

• The original 113g was chosen to display as 0.25 lbs in the UI when pounds were the default unit.

The poll will be open from 2025-01-31 02:00 UTC to 2025-02-07 11:59 UTC.

I picked 100g, since it would make it easier for various under-the-hood number manipulations, and avoid potentially frustrating situations, where a few leftover grams are not displayed (avoiding loose ends, in other words).

Make everything a round number of grams internally. When displaying stuff in imperial units, multiply the real value in the imperial unit by a constant so that it would make the number round.

Essentially, use an adjusted scale for the purposes of value display.

So, for this 100g internally, but 0.25 lbs if displayed in lbs, which means a ~1.134x multiplier. In other words, you can adjust the g->lbs coeff to a rounder number.
