-.L shells
-Shell production efficiency depends on technology level;
-p.e.=(tlev-20)/(tlev-10)
-Shells cost $3 each to manufacture.
-Each requires 2 units of light construction materials
-and 1 unit of heavy construction materials.
-You must have a minimum technology of 20 to produce shells.
-.L guns
-Gun production depends on technology level;
-p.e.=(tlev-20)/(tlev-10)
-Guns cost $30 each to manufacture.
-Each requires 5 units of light construction materials,
-10 units of heavy construction materials,
-and 1 unit of oil.
-You must have a minimum technology of 20 to produce guns.
-.L iron
-Iron ore production depends on the mine's mineral richness.
-Extracting iron ore is free,
-and doesn't deplete the sector's mineral richness.
-.L dust
-Gold dust production depends on the mine's gold richness.
-Extracting gold dust is free,
-but depletes the sector's gold richness.
-.L bars
-Gold bars cost $10 to produce and require 5 units of gold dust each.
-.L food
-Food production efficiency depends on technology level
-and the fertility of the sector;
-p.e.=(tlev+10)/(tlev+20).
-Growing food is free,
-and doesn't deplete the sector's fertility.
-.L oil
-Oil production efficiency depends on technology level
-and the oil content of the sector;
-p.e.=(tlev+10)/(tlev+20).
-Pumping oil is free,
-but depletes the sector's oil content.
-.L petrol
-Petrol production depends on technology level;
-p.e.=(tlev-20)/(tlev-10).
-A unit of petrol costs $1 to manufacture.
-Every 10 units of petrol require 1 unit of oil to produce.
-You must have a minimum technology of 20 to produce petrol.
-.L lcm
-Light construction material production efficiency
-depends on technology level;
-p.e.=(tlev+10)/(tlev+20).
-Producing lcms does not cost money, but requires 1 unit of iron ore.
-.L hcm
-Heavy construction material production efficiency
-depends on technology level;
-p.e.=(tlev+10)/(tlev+20).
-Producing hcms does not cost money, but requires 2 unit of iron ore.
-.L rad
-Radioactive material production efficiency depends on technology level,
-which must be at least 40.
-p.e.=(tlev-40)/(tlev-30).
-Producing rads cost $2 per ton,
-and depletes the uranium content of the sector.
-.L education
-A unit of education (a \*Qclass of graduates\*U),
-costs $10 to produce and requires 1 unit
-of light construction materials (see "info Education").
-.L happiness
-A unit of happiness (\*Qhappy strollers\*U),

-.L technology
-Technology production efficiency depends on education level;
-p.e.=(elev-5)/(elev+5).
-A unit of technology (a \*Qtechnological breakthrough\*U),
-costs $5 times the number of ETUs per update
-to produce, and requires 10 units
-of light construction materials,
-5 units of oil and 1 unit of gold dust. For more details about how
-technology level is calculated from technology units, see "info Technology".
-.L research
-Research production efficiency depends on education level;
-p.e.=(elev-5)/(elev+5).
-A unit of research (a \*Qmedical discovery\*U),
-costs $90 to produce and requires 10 units
-of light construction materials,
-5 units of oil and 1 unit of gold dust (see "info Research").
+How many products each unit of production makes depends on the level
+production efficiency, which is the product's level p.e. (shown by
+"show product") times the sector type's p.e. (shown by "show sect
+capabilities"). Production requires a level p.e. above zero, obviously.

+Say your country is at tech level 25. Then your agribusinesses' level
+p.e. is (25+10)/(25+20) * 900% = 7, i.e. they'll make 7 food per unit
+of production. Your shell industries' level p.e. is only
+(25-20)/(25-10) * 100% = 1/3, i.e. they'll make 1 shell per three
+units of production. Your uranium mines can't produce at all, because
+their level p.e. is negative.
