*Strange* behavior using P&N ... possible bug

DirectorT, nothing wierd about what you are seeing, just simple rounding to the nearest 1B is all. If your limit is 29999M, and you have 27000M, it's going to show as 30B if it rounds to the nearest 1B, but you aren't going to get the bonus until you actually reach 29999M without rounding. The game does track the actual pop all the way down to the base units of 1M, you just don't see it from the planet screen.

Well, the weird part is that I only get the bonus when the screen reads "31B"; if I remove 1M population at a time until it reads 30B, and then check the abilities, I lose the population bonus for 30B population.
Edit: which means it's rounding up, not simply rounding to the nearest 1B.
