Clearly Label Money Cost Amount that is Government Only - Deantwo - 08-03-2018
Currently patent research is the only money using manufacturing process. But few probably know that citizens pay up to half the patent cost. Special rules like this that you can't see in the UI itself are generally bad since it cause confusion.
I suggest that using money as a manufacturing material should be separated into different "materials" that more clearly label where the money has to be from. One that is "Government Money", "Citizen Money" and "Any Money". At most just a slightly different icon for them.
This wouldn't have much of an impact on anything today, except for the patent process would have two separate money stacks, 500 "Government Money" and 500 "Any Money". But if new manufacturing processes are added that use money, we would have a chance to select if it should be civilian or government funded and have it clearly shown in the manufacturing UI.
