Problem with all graphs in the game

Post by oliton »

Hello, first of all thank you for this great game !

I think something could be improved greatly in the game: the graphs !

Why ? Because the numbers displayed on the graph (profit, revenue, quantity) are not the actual quantities, but the max of the scale. It is impossible to know the exact numbers for many data in the game because of this problem.

Example below with the firm profit, the maximum number is 2 million, and the exact number is somewhere between 0.5 and 1 million, that is very approximate. In this case any would say that the exact numbers can be seen directly on the firm when Info button is on, but for many other data, no other solution that guessing approximate numbers (example: quantities / revenues / profits of a product sold in a firm).

I would suggest to replace the max by the actual number, which is more important that the max of the scale (or having both information would be good also). But if you do that we will have a rounding problem as currently the numbers displayed are rounded (1 million, 2 millions...). I would suggest to manage 2 decimals for millions. Another problem is that the actual number is increasing each day until the end of month for graph updated each months, so in fact instead of the actual number, the number of the last period would be great.

Again thank you very much for your work !

This is a good suggestion. We will improve it in the next major post-release patch v5.9.00.
