Table version selector version shows the version string stored in
version[]. Its implementation is a bit of a hack:
empfile[EF_VERSION].cache is set to version[], so it gets passed as
context object to nstr_eval(). This permits reading version[] with an
NSC_STRINGY selector at offset 0, which is what nsc_init()'s
version_ca0 is.
Both empfile[] and version_ca need the size of version[]. Since
version.h provides only an incomplete type for version[], they use
sizeof(PACKAGE_STRING), which isn't exactly clean.
Redo version_ca0 as virtual selector. Takes a bit more code, but it's
easier to understand.
The context object is now unused. Setting empfile[EF_VERSION].cache
to a null pointer would trip assertions, so make it point to a dummy.

The xdump field data types are abstract symbols "d", "f", "s" and "c".
However, the abstraction leaks: we dump the enum nsc_type ca_type
values verbatim in meta table field "type", and have symbol table
meta-type map all integer types to "d", and both floating-point types
to "f". Not a problem for well-behaved clients, since all they do
with the dumped value is referencing table meta-type. It is a problem
for version-test: since the integer type compatible with an
enumeration type is implementation-defined, the type value of
selectors of enumeration type can vary between compilers. It also
makes table meta-type a somewhat ugly exception to the rule that a
symbol table maps integers to names 1:1.
Virtual selectors let us seal the abstraction: dump the promoted
ca_type value.
The integer types get all promoted to NSC_LONG. This takes care of
version-test.
The floating-point types get all promoted to NSC_DOUBLE. Makes sense.
NSC_STRINGY gets promoted to NSC_STRING. This changes all field data
types "c" to "s". Getting rid of "c" is a welcome simplification,
because now the meaning of meta type field "len" no longer depends on
"type", but always means that the array is dumped as that many fields.
We lose string length limit information, though.

People in sectors get plagued, then taxed or paid, then fed. People
on ships and land units get paid, then fed, then plagued. Sectors
were messed up when Empire 3 made the update code work for budget.
Change sectors back to how they worked before Empire 3: move do_feed()
from produce_sect() to prepare_sects(), and delay do_plague() until
after do_feed(). People in sectors now get taxed, paid and fed even
when they die of the plague, just like they do on ships and land
units.
Because do_plague() now runs after populace(), the latter's handling
of people dying off doesn't cover plague anymore. Delay it to the
very end of prepare_sects().
Additionally, move feeding and plaguing from upd_ship(), upd_land() to
prep_ship(), prep_land(), for consistency with sectors.

Ship, plane and land unit repairs depend on and change the state of
the sector. To predict repairs, we need to predict the state of the
sector before repairs. The obvious way to do that is to simulate the
sector update and all ship, plane and land unit updates there in the
correct order.
Until recently, we simulated only own sectors, ships, planes and land
units. Wrong when foreign sectors, ships, planes or land units are
involved. The fix (commit 70f6964) makes budget simulate all
countries. Correct, but does much more work than necessary. With a
little effort, we can track what needs to be simulated.
Use the bp map for tracking. We need to mark the player's sectors and
all sectors where he has ships, planes or land units. Do the former
in bp_alloc(), and the latter in prep_ships(), prep_planes(),
prep_lands().
Skip sectors not so marked. This requires delaying prepare_sects()
until after prep_ships(), prep_planes(), prep_lands(). Their order
doesn't actually matter: prep_ships() & friends only spend money, and
nothing in preparation depends on whether the country is still
solvent.
Skip ships, planes and land units in sectors not so marked.
This speeds up budget by around a third in my testing, more for small
countries. Roughly 15% slower than before the fix for repairs abroad.
The update has to do a bit more work than before, but the performance
difference is lost in the noise.

Within a country, it visits in increasing order of sector number,
which is effectively top to bottom, left to right, starting with
absolute 0,0.
The order doesn't actually matter. Before Chainsaw's option BUDGET,
the update simply visited the sectors in sector number order. Go back

The update visits ships, planes and land units in increasing order of
country number. Within a country, it visits first ships, then planes,
then land units, each in increasing order of unit number.
The order is relevant when money, materials and work don't suffice to
build everything.
Money is charged to the owner, so only the relative order for the same
owner matters there. One order is as good as any.
Work and materials come from the sector, so only the relative order in
each sector matters. The current order unfairly prefers countries
with lower country numbers. Mitigating factor: the affected countries
need to be friendly (ships only) or allied.
The unfairness goes back to Chainsaw's option BUDGET. See the commit
before previous for more detailed historical notes.
The update test demonstrates the unfair behavior: sector 14,6 builds
ships 95/97 owned by country#1, but not 96 owned by country#7.
Likewise, planes 95/96/97 and land units 95/96/97.
Go back to the the pre-BUDGET order: first ships, then planes, then
land units, all in increasing order of unit number, regardless of
owner.
The update test now builds ship, plane and land unit 96 instead of 97.
Bonus: speeds up both the update and budget by a similar absolute
amount. For budget, this is roughly a factor of two in my testing.
For the update, which does much more, it's around 10%.

The budget command simulates an update by running selected parts of
the update code. It skips parts that depend on hidden information
such as guerrilla warfare. For speed, it also skips parts it doesn't
need, such as distribution and foreign sectors, ships, planes and land
units.
Skipping foreign sectors is wrong when any of the player's ships,
planes or land units will be repaired in foreign sectors, because it
makes budget use old materials and work instead of new.
Skipping foreign ships, planes and land units is wrong when they
compete with the player's for materials and work.
The bug goes back to Chainsaw's option BUDGET. See the previous
commit for more detailed historical notes. The update test
demonstrates it in several variations.
Fix it with the sledgehammer: don't skip foreign sectors, ships,
planes and land units. This makes budget almost twenty times slower
in my testing. Probably tolerable on a reasonably beefy machine, but
we can do better; the next few commits will claw back most of the lost
performance.

Ship, plane and land unit repair uses new work, except in sectors
owned by countries with a higher country number.
This inconsistency is an artifact of how the update is sequenced: we
work on countries one after the other. A country's ships, planes and
land units get repaired before higher-numbered countries' sectors
produce. Any ship, plane and land unit repairs in such sectors use
old work instead of new work.
Repair work use changed several times during Empire's history.
In BSD Empire, repairs use old work, because it updates ships and
planes before sectors.
Chainsaw added budget priorities and the budget command as option
BUDGET. Budget priorities let players choose separately for ships,
planes and land units whether to use old or new work for repairs.
The option also changed the update to work on countries one after the
other, presumably to permit a more efficient implementation of the
budget command.
Chainsaw also introduced repairs in foreign sectors under option
ALLYHARBORWORK.
With BUDGET disabled, all repairs still use old work, whether at home
or abroad. With BUDGET enabled, work use of repairs at home depends
on budget priorities, but work use abroad depend on country numbers.
Both options became standard in Empire 2.
Since v4.3.6, repairs at home always use new work (commit 967299a and
commit 520446e).
To make repairs abroad always use new work as well, we need to update
all sectors before any ship repair. This is straightforward: split
the loop over countries between sectors and unit building. For
symmetry, also split it between unit maintenance and sectors.
The budget command is differently broken, and will be fixed next.

When option TECH_POP is enabled, the cost of tech increases when
civilian population exceeds 50000. Only civilians in old-owned
sectors count. This differs from education and happiness, where
civilians loaded on ships and land units count, too.
The update counts population for TECH_POP with count_pop(). This is
an extra pass over all sectors.
produce also uses count_pop(), once per tech center examined.
Wasteful.
budget avoids count_pop(): it uses tax()'s civilian count. More
efficient, but the difference to the update is ugly.
Change TECH_POP to use the same civilian count as education and
happiness, i.e. count civilians on ships and land units, too.
This count is available in nat_budget[] in time for produce(): it's
computed by tax() and by ship and land unit maintenance. So use it
there. This takes care of the update and budget. produce doesn't run

tech when option TECH_POP is enabled, but that doesn't match how the
update computes the cost. To be fixed next.
Civilians loaded on ships are only counted by the update, not by
budget. Harmless, as budget doesn't compute happiness and education.

game's land units can load civilians.

Sector production computes a number of intermediate values, and rounds
many of them. We've tinkered with the rounding a few times. It
currently works as follows.
There are two production efficiencies, both shown by the production
command: sector p.e. (column eff) governs how efficiently work is
converted to units of production, and p.e. (column p.e.) governs how
much product each unit of production yields.
Production is limited by available work, materials and resource
contents. These limits are all rounded down.
Example: if a unit takes 16 work (tech or guns), then 600 work at 100%
sector p.e. can make at most 37 units, rounded down from 600 * 100% /
16 = 37.5. 76 work at 76% sector p.e. can make 3, rounded down from
76 * 76% / 16 = 3.61.
Output is units times p.e. Level output isn't rounded. Item output
is rounded down.
Example: a tech center making 37 units at p.e. 0.6 (edu=20) yields 37
* 0.6 = 22.2 tech (before tech log). 3 units yield 1.8 tech.
Example: a defense plant making 37 units at p.e. 0.6 (tech 35) yields
22 guns (rounded down from 22.2). 3 units yield 1.8g, randomly
rounded.
If item output needs to be adjusted downward (production backlog), the
number of units made is likewise adjusted. It is rounded randomly.
Example: a 100% refinery with 156 work can make 156 units. Its
p.e. at tech 30 is 5.0, so this yields 780p. But if it already has
9500p, it can make only 499 more. That's 99.8 units, rounded randomly
to either 99 or 100.
Materials and money consumed are a multiple of units made. No
rounding there.
Resource depletion depends on units made and is rounded randomly.
Work consumed is units made times work per unit divided by sector
production efficiency. Rounded randomly. Any work left can normally
be used at the next update (it "rolls over").
Example: the tech center making 37 units consumes 37 * 16 / 100% = 592
work, with 8 work left. It also consumes 37d 185o 370l $11100.
Example: the tech center making 3 units consumes 3 * 16 / 76% = 63.2
work, randomly rounded to 63 or 64, with 13 or 12 work left. It also
consumes 3d 15o 30l $900.
Example: the defense plant making 3 units consumes work the same. It
additionally consumes 1o 15l 30h $30 when it makes one gun, and twice
as much when it makes two.
Rounding intermediate values like "units of production" is awkward.
It's better to round only final results. These are item output,
materials consumed, resource depletion and work consumed. Round item
output down, and the rest randomly. Don't round level output (it's a
floating-point value) and money consumed (also floating-point, since
the previous commit).
For item production, this shifts the random variations from number of
products made to materials and work consumed.
Example: the first defense plant again makes 22 guns (now rounded down
from 22.5). The second one now always makes two guns (rounded down
from 3.61 * 0.6 = 2.166) instead of 1.8 randomly rounded.
This is nice, because budget and production can now predict the number
of items made exactly. Before, budget fluctuated randomly just like
the update, and production rounded down.
Note that budget used to be even worse: until commit 6f7c93c
(v4.3.31), we rounded units of production randomly rather than down.
The 100% tech center randomly made 37 or 38 units, which is much more
relevant than random rounding of item output.
Furthermore, work is now fully used both for item and level
production, to the limit permitted by materials and resource contents.
Example: the first tech center now makes 37.5 units, yielding 37.5 *
0.6 = 22.5 tech. It consumes 37.5d 187.5o 375l $11250 and all 600
work (fractions randomly rounded).
Example: the second tech center now makes 3.61 units yielding 1.805
tech, consuming 3.61d 18.05o 36.1l $1083 and all 76 work.
The production command duplicates much of the update's sector
production code, so it needs a matching update. The next commit will
reduce the duplication.

The update tallies income and expenses in full dollars. Each debit or
credit is rounded before it is added to the tally. Different things
are rounded differently. Examples:
* Each sector's military pay is rounded down. In the stock game, 1m
is paid $4.999998, so n mil cost n*$5 -$1, for all practical n. 10m
in one sector cost $49, but spread over ten sectors they cost only
$40.
* Total pay for military in ships and land units is rounded down.
* Each plane's military pay is rounded down (used to be rounded up
except for broke countries until recent commit 2eb08f4). In the
stock game, flight pay is 5 * $4.999998 = $24.99999. For a plane
with n mil, that's n * $25 - $1. Filed under plane maintenance, not
military payroll.
* Each sector's civilian tax is rounded. In the stock game, 1c pays
$0.499998. 10c in one sector pay $5, but spread over ten sectors
they pay nothing.
* An occupied sector's civilian tax is first rounded, then divided by
four and rounded down *boggle*.
* Each sector's uw tax is rounded. In the stock game, 1u pays
$0.106662. 1-4u in one sector pay nothing. 5-14u pay $1.
This is madness. Has always been that way.
Drop the rounding and track money in type double throughout the

how commands accumulate a money delta in player->dolcost.
