No idea why they were ever added. On mobile it’s a PITA., and oftentimes can lead to doing 10x the amount you wanted. Can we finally remove the zeros from all the input boxes?!

Like all of them.

In fact., I’d argue this would be an easy change bc if I clear out the values to an empty string the server reads it as zero., so it’s really just updating the html value to be “” not “0”

This would be easy to change in the standard UI, but it's been like that for a long time. Just to ask: does anyone have a reason why keeping the 0s would be helpful?

There isnt any value. Even on desktop its a pain to delete the 0s. Just add html input placeholder attribute of "0" to show noobs a number is expected as input. This allows clicking on the box and just inputing.

I have run out of food many times cashing 50 turns instead of 5 turns. I support this.

Thank you, I used LittleItaly's suggestion. I changed everything on Celphi's list except for Manage because the zeroes are meaningful as a percentage and most players don't change those options frequently. I also changed a few pages on the FFA control panel.

Did I miss anywhere?

Looks good to me!

Going to a day or so getting used to not deleting it but I'm v happy about this change.

I was really confused at first because I'm so used to selecting and overwriting them that when I clicked in and the 0 still showed up, I thought it was going to be a problem like Andrew noted. I'm sure I'll get used to it - nice quick fix!
