How would I made my datastore go over the Roblox 9.22QI limit in 2023

I really want to make my saving datastore and all of my values be able to go over the roblox 9.22Qi value limit in 2023. I am making a game called crazy hatching simulator and one of my leaderboard players got stuck at the 9.22qi value. I want a clear way to do it. I have searched on this developer hub and I found some but they where either really confusing or they where outdated. I also want a way to be able to remove currency from this too. maybe a little explanation would be good for me and other people with the same problem.

This is my current datastore

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS = DSS:GetDataStore("HatchingMainiaV3.15")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait()
	local Success, Error = pcall(function()
	local Data = DS:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	if not (Data == nil) then
		local MoneyData = tonumber(Data[1])
		local RebirthsData = tonumber(Data[2])
			local EggsHatchedData = tonumber(Data[3])
			local GemData = tonumber(Data[4])
			local TotalCoinsData = tonumber(Data[4])
		
		local LeaderStats = Instance.new("Folder")
		LeaderStats.Name = "leaderstats"
		LeaderStats.Parent = plr
		
			local Money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
			Money.Value = MoneyData
			Money.Name = "Coins"
			Money.Parent = LeaderStats
			
			
			if TotalCoinsData then
			local TotalCoins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
			TotalCoins.Value = TotalCoinsData
			TotalCoins.Name = "TotalCoins"
				TotalCoins.Parent = plr
			else
				local TotalCoins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
				TotalCoins.Value = 0
				TotalCoins.Name = "TotalCoins"
				TotalCoins.Parent = plr
			end
			
		
		local EggsHatched = Instance.new("IntValue")
		EggsHatched.Value = EggsHatchedData
		EggsHatched.Name = "Eggs"
		EggsHatched.Parent = LeaderStats
		
		local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Rebirths.Value = RebirthsData
		Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
			Rebirths.Parent = LeaderStats

I think a possible way to do this is to save the number as a string. Then using tonumber() to convert the string into a number again. I haven’t tested this though, but I’m pretty sure it should work.

Example:

Saving the data:

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local TestStore = DSS:GetDataStore("Test")

TestStore:SetAsync("Test", "923190312903129031290312903219031209932090123")

Retrieving the data:

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local TestStore = DSS:GetDataStore("Test")

print(tonumber(TestStore:GetAsync("Test")))

maybe let me test that I will see thankyou for the input

#4

How would I make it so it is prefixed but I can take coins away still also thankyou for this it is ok if you cannot help me any more or don’t wanna

#5

Well, there’s tutorials on youtube, also, if that is the solution, then please mark it as the solution.

#6

Be reminded that if the number gets converted to a string, there will be a loss in the data, which is not really significant if numbers are abbreviated, as long as you don’t expose it to your players in a manner they cannot understand how data is stored in the game.

Furthermore, don’t forget that you would hit ~1,7x10^308 and get infinity in Lua, which is unpredictably infinite for double-precision numbers. Therefore, you could optimize your game if you cap at that number without running into hacky methods.
