Wait... weight? Please tell me.

So I think I'm in the midgame (for the first time). And my big ol' brick ship is starting to get large.. and heavy. I've got tons of resources tucked away in my storages... I'm always a packrat when I'm doing crafting games. But overall weight of my ship is starting to be an ongoing issue...

My big question is do all units of stuff weigh the same? Like... for weight reasons, should I keep my ice as ice? Cuz it says .2 ice makes one water.. so the water would be heavier, assuming all units weigh the same. Since there's nothing I can find that gives actual weight breakdowns...

I know building stuff also causes weight, but I can't really do much about that.

Yea, every item is 1 weight.
You don't have to immediately turn all the ice into water. You could even set it up so that they only create water out of ice once you go below a threshold. (Applies to other things like making hull/tech blocks and so on.)

You will want to immediately work on converting scrap in the recycler.

One thing to note shuttles and Pods also have weight and most of the facilities too.
If memory serves shuttle weighs 80 weight units.
