Not that its really a glitch but it is confusing (especially for noobs) when a player sees decimal points used on one screen and comas on the next. for the longest time when i saw the cost read out of "1.000" i though that it meant it cost 1 cred. Just saying... seems like it would be an easy fix that would save a lot of noobs (and myself) a lot of stress.

coma example - resource count as viewed from Mining Facility

decimal point example - system design cost readouts

there are a few pages, only a few, where commas still exist. But it's not too huge a deal, though it would be beter to be 100% consistant.

well i dont know if this is really a bug or not.. maybe more of a suggestion..

and why dont they just have the number as this 1 500 000 instead of 1.500.000
haha it makes it much easier when copy/pasting

because A) it looks wierd, B) spaces can cause problems in some calculating systems (a lot of times a space equals a 0, making 1 500 000 read as 105.000.000 to the calculator), and C) looks more professional.

well in my calculator 1.500.000 reads as 1.5 so when designing its just a minor annoyance to have to change that over everytime.. im just lazy though
