because thats the max value a lua number can hold, so you have to represent the number with some other method like tables

lots of modules already do this; you can use infinite math or eternity num or omeganum

That’s the limit of lua number. You can only fix it by implementing bignum modules and using them everywhere. It needs a whole remake in almost all of the scripts to be implemented

You’ll have to stop using regular numbers past ~1e308 or it’ll break. Either switch to log-based math or use a BigNum module.

-- cheap log-based system
local moneyExp=308
local moneyMant=1

local function add(amount)
	if moneyExp>math.log10(amount) then
		moneyMant += amount / (10^moneyExp)
	else
		local aExp=math.log10(amount)
		local aMant=amount/10^aExp
		if aExp==moneyExp then
			moneyMant+=aMant
		elseif aExp>moneyExp then
			moneyMant=aMant + moneyMant/10^(aExp-moneyExp)
			moneyExp=aExp
		else
			moneyMant=moneyMant + aMant/10^(moneyExp-aExp)
		end
	end
	if moneyMant>=10 then
		moneyMant/=10
		moneyExp+=1
	end
end

local function mul(factor)
	moneyMant*=factor
	if moneyMant>=10 then
		moneyMant/=10
		moneyExp+=1
	end
end

local function getMoney()
	return moneyMant * 10^moneyExp
end

-- usage
add(5e307)
mul(2)
print(moneyMant, moneyExp, getMoney())

omg bro how in the hell do you need a giant number with 308 zeros? :skull:
I think the problem is in core concept of the game…
