Summary0026615: Starting screen doesn't let you start with more than 2.5 millions of metal
DescriptionThe game tells you: "starting with more (or less) metal is not considered much of a difference in balance", but it doesn't let you start with more than 2.5M of metal even in Humanity Ascendant campaign.

Game also tells that on one of usual maps in HA (no matter the amount of home settlements) max metal storage at start point is 2510 thousands of metal, so it should allow starting with, say, 2500001 metal. But it's not allowed for some reason. Hopefully the storage can also be pushed further to allow starting with, say, 3 millions of metal.

I think the text is the main thing that is off here; it is probably a description that never got changed from when the game used to start with less than the maximum metal.

I don't think allowing higher numbers is a good idea in this case, as it is limited by the maximum the Home Command can store.

Thanks!

* Fixed the tooltip on the "starting metal" option in the lobby to include the text: Default is 2.5 million (that is also the maximum, because adding more would not fit in the storage capacity of your starting command station).
