Numbers are automatically math.pow?

Do you mean to say that they’re being formatted in scientific notation? If so, that’s just how really large or really small numbers are formatted when you print them out. It’s just a readable format.

If you want to avoid this, you could just run it through the string formatter:

local n = 1000000000000000000
print(("%i"):format(n))
-- OR:
print(("%f"):format(n))
