This issue seems to apply at all times, when looking at "global" statistics, like at the production screen, I see stats that are well beyond global, since they are part of many globes. As can be seen in my screenshot, items that are made in two different exclusive planets are being produced and consumed at the same time in one "globe". This should not be possible.

Hello,

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the report

I guess this comes down to semantics of what 'Global' means,
sure it is derived from 'Globe' I.E 'Planet',
But more modern usage especially in programming its more of a 'Universal' or 'For the whole system'

For now I will move this to not a bug, the feature is working correctly if I understand the report correctly, its just the naming which might not be ideal

First time poster here. I wanted to create the same ticket. So I agree with OP
I agree it's not a bug. But it's literally wrong naming
So please find a solution and rename it to something which makes sense
Even naming it "all" is better than global which is misleading in this context
So I would like to request an ideal solution, given that we agree that the current naming isn't ideal

Given the only people complaining are fully understanding the intent with the existing name I don't see this changing.
