[Bilka] [2.0.6] Several instances of missing spaces between units and numbers

Post by valneq »

According to international typesetting standards, there have to be spaces between numbers and units.

Factorio does not follow these rules.

Most notably, in the following strings:

Production statistics time frames (also m for minutes is not acceptable, it should be 'min'!)

Thanks for the report however I’m going to say we do not care about these and will be leaving them as is.

it looks very weird when some units do have spaces and some don't :-/

The production statistics appear to be intentionally formatted like that. In particular, the m for minute is definitely to make the locale shorter, it was discussed before and I'm not going to revert that decision. But I'll fix g and kg and the km in the achievement descriptions.
