formatted numbers 1123456789 -> 1,123,456,789

[Pretenza]

If the numbers formatted it is more readable, but there is many part of the game where the numbers don't formatted.

Examples:

Wheatfields. Packed wheatfield 3073 -> 3,073
3476531 meat (deposit near a hunter building) -> 3,476,531
359760 fish (deposit near a fisherman building) -> 359,760
Industrial iron mine 217466 iron ore -> 217,466

Star menu
87500 settlers -> 87.5K
1111111 wheats -> 1.1M
like in storehouses.

tooltips:
in storage: Pinewood: 68800/1531000 -> 688,000/1,531,300
in star menu: Add resource: 87500 settlers -> 87,500

Economy overview left column. Resources Platinum ore 1371904 -> 1,371,904

Population window 3211 bowman -> 3,211
or in adventures too.

Information toolbar on top (tools, pinewood planks, hardwood planks, stones, marbles gems) That would be K and M. 501669 tools -> 501K. Need fewer space, there would be more resouce info, or shorter info toolbar.

Good idea, should be a simple piece of coding :)

+1, old school here and unformatted numbers are a real pain.

quick question. You know that this formating for numbers does not work in every country?

[Thejollyone]

it works for trade items already though, so why not this suggestion?

This does have some merit - certain countries have different ways of formatting numbers. You can see just some of the most common methods in this Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Examples_of_use).

You still need to follow the rules ;)

...and yet the fact remains, the format IS ALREADY USED on trade, so why not the OP's suggestion regardless of countries? ...

Agreed.
I appreciate number formatting and date/time formatting varies (I'm originally from the States so living in a DD/MM/YY country still kinda confuses me at times) but it is already present - not when you input your number to the trade, but at least when you see the final result there are separators for 1,000 so I would think the same rules could apply consistently. I take for granted that most people understand the 1 thousand separator.

+1 it would make things so much easier to read :)

I like the suggestion and it will definetly be an improvement. Sadly, that's not, what my question was about.

[Dorotheus]

Is there anyway to know if this suggestion has been posted on the right forums ?
