So the SI units don't bother me, and I think they serve to raise the intelligence of the user if only a little.  But it does make the initial learning of the game a bit daunting. When first viewing the techs, achievements, and specialists I was trying to get an idea of the sense of scale so I could make the right choices and plan, but Billion with a G threw me.

Might I suggest using the bottom left real estate of the game screen to display a static table of units? This can be seen most clearly in portrait mode. But a more compact version would still fit in landscape mode I think. This may be true only on my tablet, and I also considered you may be saving that space for more properties, but it appears the game scales well in other ways.

Thanks for the suggestion.  The bottom left space is not visible for smaller devices.  When on a phone generally only one page shows up, and the properties list is a tab like all the others.  Because these are most important we want minimal or no scrolling on that tab.  We do have scientific notation that is easier for some people, perhaps we should make that choice more obvious.  Right now it is buried in the settings menu. -moldygames
 
 
== Timers for the Specialists. ==
 
 
Love the game and have been playing for months. Just have one suggestion. It would be very helpful if you put timers in each of the Specialist bars so players have a better idea of how long it takes for the next Specialist increase to occur. Thanks for the great game.
 
 
It seems like keeping track of how long it has been and figuring out the formulas is part of the fun for some people.  You are not alone, but I don't think we'll be adding this feature. -moldygames
