You entirely missed the point of my reply - do you not understand the concept of hypotheticals? When I said "say 78" that indicated that for the purposes of the conversation, to allow us to get to the point of my argument, let's use this as an example since the precise values do not add to the concept I am talking about.

Since you are unable to understand this form of discourse, and I am happy to use the correct figures, let me try again to explain to to my point:

Each time I play a location, with or without an anomoly, the energy cost *of that play* is displayed on the pop up where you press "Explore". This value changes depending on mode or anomoly. I know this, I haven't bothered tabulating the rate of surcharge (up unitl now) but it is displayed before the play.

The point I am making is that I read the value *for that precise play* and the value of my energy bank *at that time* and the amount subtracted was considerable MORE than the value stated, which *already * included any anomoly/mode surcharge. As it was, there was not an anomoly.

You appear to be saying that one energy cost is displayed, and then a different cost subtracted. If that is the case, how on earth can anyone plan their play?
