the 0% defensive factor is 2. Both factors change linearly between 0%
and 100%.

Some sector types are more adept at moving certain commodities: the
mobility cost is divided by a packing bonus.

Column max pop shows how many civilians and uncompensated workers the

This shows what the sector produces, raw materials required to make Column product shows what the sector produces, the use columns show
one product, tech and edu requirements, production efficiency the raw materials required to make one unit of production, and column
multiplier, monetary cost and resource depletion. See info $$$ shows how much money it costs.

.SA "improve, designate, show, BTU, Sectors, Ship-types" Columns level, min and lag show how the production efficiency depends
on a level (if any): p.e. = (level-min) / (level-min+lag).
.s1
Column eff% shows how many products are made per unit of production.
.s1
Column dep shows how fast production depletes the natural resource it
exploits. It only applies to products iron, dist, food, oil and rad.
High numbers mean fast depletion.
