"44" looks like it could be "144" due to icon design. Please consider redesigning it.

In case of vanilla, where steel stack size is 100, it doesn't matter:
It can't be greater.
You will probably say, that new players don't know it and you need background knowledge...

Your suggestion is completely valid (except maybe for not using the template ;)) and might even be considered by the devs
We're just saying, why it's not a problem for us.

Please, don't feel personally attacked.

icon baking has been a topic of debate for some time now. i wouldn't be surprised if this changed when the expansion comes out, or sometime before it.
