[2.0.77] Factoriopedia entry for Fusion Generator has floating point errors.

We are aware of them, but do not have solutions that don't cause other issues. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[2.0.77] Factoriopedia entry for Fusion Generator has floating point errors.

Post by mathsboy314 »

Open the Factoriopedia entry for the Fusion Generator.
Hover your cursor over the blue diamond next to "Consumption: 2/s".
This should show the consumption rate of higher quality fusion generators.
Observe that the value of Uncommon is 2.59999/s instead of 2.6/s, and Epic is 3.79999/s instead of 3.8/s.

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we will be doing anything about this. The generic tooltip logic asks for a value to be shown and converts it to a string. In this case the value ends up 2.6 and 3.8 neither of which are representable as binary floating point numbers and so are actually 2.59999998~ and 3.79999998~ which gets converted to the string you see. I have no interest in chasing every one of these values in GUIs and trying to floor, round, or truncate them for display.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
