I watched the Mech Lab video and noticed a very large amount of C Bills, I've been in games where they never included a comma for currency, I don't love it. Please include a comma in currency!

Thank you!

Yes, please provide delimiters in currency numbers.

Eh, who needs it.

I plan on getting rich enough in game to necessitate scientific notation for my C-Bills anyways.

That and there's plenty of places in the world that do not use the comma to separate the numbers, and use it in place of the decimal point.

If you really need a way to separate groups of digits, a space would be more than sufficient to my mind, without being confusing or needing changing when the servers are opened to other countries.

I agree. There should be at least a break in the digits. it would get irritating sitting there and trying to figure out if it was 15 zeros or 16.

versus
95,685,578

One number is easier to read than another.

A comma in a number doesn't mean the same in all countries. Anyone who ever had to convert all his ******* data to exchange between programs may know that.

I therefore support the use of spaces for separation.

spaces is fine with me
95 685 578
is just as easy to read, half-spaces would be even better!

yeah going to need this in some way if we are dealing with large numbers of a single money. I am annoyed on some other games that have no comma or separation for money.

[Jimmons]

Concur with the need for separators, in whatever form they may take. Five or more digits needs a pause at three!

Dirrefent counties, different rules.
It is better to make an option: what delimiter to use or none at all.
