    Well, Vince278, I still think it looks more like a stovepipe than an exclamation mark. But I like your point that if the AI was doing its job properly, we shouldnt see it.
    Right. The AI seems to love adjusting other sliders. You would think it would do it in a useful way as well...

    I don't think anyone has mentioned here yet what a stove-pipe is normally used for. I can't think of it off the top of my head. That might help but the issue to rest.

        You've just replied to every thread I'm active in. You must be as bored as I am.

              I've only seen the PBQ go blank when it runs out of things to build.

              Everyone else: It is an exclamation point, not a stove pipe. To illustrate:
              | - This is a stove pipe.
              ! - This is an exclamation point.
              It is used as a warning that your spending levels are un-necessarily too high. Using a stove pipe for that purpose would make no sense don't you think? Perhaps a different font would make it clearer but until they provide that we'll just have to use our heads and a little logic here.
              Actually it is a graphic. I have seen it changed to other things in some UI mods.

                A graphic? Haven't considered that (unless its a graphic representation of an exclamation point ). I suppose in mods it can be changed to anything (how about a peace sign ).

                I'm beginning to be amazed that we are still discussing punctuation after all this time.
