"It doesn't make much sense to calculate work with the much more common (at least, common in the real world) unit of kilowatt hours, because although the game runs more or less in real-time and the units are meant to be relatively realistic, 1 kW h is a lot of energy, and in fact so much so that you can't reasonably represent the value of a piece of coal that way." | "It doesn't make much sense to calculate work with the much more common (at least, common in the real world) unit of kilowatt hours, because although the game runs more or less in real-time and the units are meant to be relatively realistic, 1 kW h is a lot of energy, and in fact so much so that you can't reasonably represent the value of a piece of coal that way." | ||

:I suspect the real resoning behind this is that kWh is not an SI (derived) unit, so it is not used by factorio. I changed the page to say this instead. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - <span style="color:#FF0000">Admin</span> 19:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC) | |||

Power, Work, Energy
I would find this easier, if just energy and power were use in this page. I found work somewhat unnecessary because we don't have to deal with forces (electrical or mechanical), which do the work.--Rk84 (talk) 15:42, 24 February 2014 (CET)

About "Work"
This paragraph "It doesn't make much sense to calculate work with the much more common (at least, common in the real world) unit of kilowatt hours, because although the game runs more or less in real-time and the units are meant to be relatively realistic, 1 kW h is a lot of energy, and in fact so much so that you can't reasonably represent the value of a piece of coal that way."
