Scientific Notation (THIS IS FOR YOU DEVELOPERS!!!)
Hey developers, I find it hard to read and understamd the scientific notation in the game Such as 5.40E+013, for example. Is there any way you can make it to where if you hover (or click) your mouse over the scientific notation it shows the amount (in words, like in adventure capitalist), that way I know How much potatoes I have without googling the number.

The number after the E is just how many places to the right you need to shift the decimal point. So E3 is in thousands, E6 millions, E9 Billions, E12 Trillions, and so on. It's about as straightforward and compact of a notation you can get. It'd be nice if they trimmed out the leading zeroes on the power of ten, and dropped the plus sign since you can't have negative values in the game (barring a bug), but two extra characters is no big deal, really.

Just read it as 5.4*10^13 and you'll be fine. Numbers represented in scientific notation are much easier to read and compare once you get used to them.

"millions, Billions, Trillions" for me was much easier to read as "M, B, T" and etc like it is in clicker heroes
