Installation Weights? solved

Maybe TN materials are like semiconductor materials in that their properties allow the creation of new types of products or improvements to existing ones.  Most of our homes are full of these products and the majority of them contain only a small percentage of actual semiconductor material.  Unless your doors are made of pure gallium arsenide and duranium of course.

No, which is included in the installation 'package.'

Yes but they need to come from some where. The example I was trying to raise is that you haul TN material to a barren world (barren in the sense that there are neither TN nor classic resources present) and use for example engineers to build something.

Where does these other non-TN materials come from? Nowhere, they just "magically" appear.

IMO non-TN minerals extraction and movement could also abstracted into increasing the size TN minerals take in the cargo holds, at least so minerals and end product require the same size of cargo hold to haul.

I'm just going to go ahead and mark this question as solved 

Interesting discussion I stirred up though!
