  1. Hi there, I'm a native English speaker and I've noticed some cases where the game language could be improved. What comes closes to mind is when the game states that you have received "certain goods" and that the "good" was added to your Inventory. Now, "goods" is definitely applicable, but "good" doesn't work like that - you can't use it in singular form*) like you use the word "goods". I would propose the alternative "commodities" as "commodity" can definitely be used in singular form, and also it sounds a little more descriptive - "goods" can be juuust a little bit on the vague side, where commodities is more succinct. For this and other instances, I would love to help. But, the translations project server doesn't include English itself as a language. I'd love to help improve the grammar, spelling and use of language and phrases to give the game just that little bit more polish. Thanks for taking the time to read my post, Shrooblord P.S. *) While I realise that etymologically, it is technically possible to say "I have received a good", to use the singular form of goods with the same intention of "goods", but in singular, is simply unnatural and sounds very weird to a native's ears. Or... eyes? Can words sound like something to my eyes when I read them? I digress - the word could be changed to not have to even discuss this semantics problem in the first place. ;)
