gollark: When I load the game the numbers are right, but then if the values change the displayed ones don't.
gollark: Purely visual (in the display) I think.
gollark: But, when I go into/out of a compact machine, the numbers have changed.
gollark: So, normally it doesn't update at all, basically.
gollark: When I do that, the number is different, but it's not changing live.
