how do I change to metric temperature measurement?
as the title says. I want to use the way superior way to measure temperature in either degrees celsius or kelvin.

Yes, the temperature assigned to the areas is just terrible sometimes, especially in this game.

Remember that in the first game the Lava Lakes are at 70°C, whereas you could find geysers in the Jellyshroom with 100°C.

I'm locking this thread as it is old and deviated into arguments.

Celsius and Kelvin have 100 degrees between freezing and boiling water. A crude scale
Fahrenheit has 180 degrees between freezing and boiling water. A finer scale

You serious? You do know, that we can (and do) use decimals, right?

I think, this thread did escalate quickly into a complete different direction as intended.

Well, not including "superior" in the OP would have gone a long way preventing that.

Personally, I don't care that they are stuck with outdated units in the US and I don't care about the temperature units in BZ because you just have to keep the bar from running empty anyway. But arguing that °F is somehow better than °C is really laughable.

Well, it does make sense that 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling, but, you can admit that F is more precise.

i doubt they will add that since subnautica didnt have it, since celcius is more commonly used in the world they decided to do that oh well. Maybe someone will make a mod eventually, or you can make a small graph between c and f and put it next to your screen just for reference if it bothers you.

No, it's not. It's exactly as precise since you can convert any value on the F scale to a value in the C scale and vice versa.

There are an infinite number of values between 0 °C and 1 °C. Like 0.1, 0.2, 0.21, ...
(The same is true for F, obviously.)

Is anybody else old enough to remember when the entire US was supposed to switch to metric so it was being taught in grade school?

Made alot more sense to me as a grade schooler - still makes alot more sense than Fahrenheit IMHO.

Unfortunately it's the U.S. so the UR NOT THE BOSS OF ME I DO WHAT I WANT demographic prevailed and the plan was scrapped.

OP why not learn both so you can understand both?

So your argument is that more people use C so that makes it better?
There are good science based arguments for using C and K that don't invoke consensus.
But the answer is based on what you are using it for and what you are familiar with.
I have used both since I am a scientist and I'll admit I was trolling, triggered by the OP.
