Parcel weight limits

Great game - very satisfying and well designed. Will definitely purchase when released.

I wanted to suggest some limits on parcel max and min weights, for realism.

- Max weight for small parcels: A 30 kg book-sized parcel should be extremely rare. In such a case they'd be shipping a slab of solid, heavy metal!

- Min weight for large parcels: I had one come up as 0.00 kg, so I weighed it twice to be sure. Just the cardboard box, alone, would be on the order of 150 to 200 g (or 0.15 to 0.20 kg).

- Min weight for small parcels might be set at 50-80 g.

Thank you for the kind words on the game. This is a very sensible suggestion, one I hadn't considered! For reference: parcels come up as "0kg" when you don't have the licence yet. I appreciate this is a bit strange, but just a heads up that that is what is happening here.

Cool!

I had a couple parcels show up as 0.00 kg, but then noticed that a corner of the parcel was propped up on the side of the scale, not actually on the weighing surface. When I repositioned the box, it read correctly.

hi! Im loving the demo so far!

I had a question based on the weight topic as well. jw, are any packages over 30kg? As an "E" package is 0-30, anything over would be invalid in theory. So I was wondering if anything is heavier. Thanks!

Weight classes are off. How can all 5 classes say 0-x? Should it not be A 0-5, B 6-10.... instead of B 0-10? Threw me off so many times I had to quit because I kept getting it wrong.

The package is declared with weight A so 0-5 I put it on the scales it weighs let's say 11.45 so it would be C. I put the red sticker on it, send it away and get an incorrect declaration. With the next package, which had the wrong weight, I put a green sticker on it and it was correct. As the weighing is now, all packages are correct, so the weight doesn't matter. It should be like this 0-5 A Over 5-10 B Over 10-15 C Over 15-20 D Over 20-30 E

I'm also looking for an answer for this, it would simply my workflow.
