(all): Depend on info. Flatten info directory. This undoes the move to one subdirectory per chapter, which was done during Empire 2. The structure doesn't buy us much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles. Overhaul info.pl: - It now wants to run in the root of the build tree. - Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles, thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system. - Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and results rather than global variables where convenient. - Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools, so that Emacs and the like can parse it. - Catch missing .SA. - When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an existing file. - Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name. The order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys. Fix it.

.TH Command FUEL
|
|
.NA fuel "Give fuel to a ship/unit"
|
|
.LV Basic
|
|
.SY "fuel <s|l> <SHIP/FLEET | UNIT/ARMY> <AMOUNT> [<OILER>]"
|
|
The fuel command carries out the fueling of ships and units.
|
|
The ship(s) must be in a harbor and
|
|
the harbor must be at least 2% efficient.
|
|
Land units may be in any sector.
|
|
Alternatively, you can fuel at sea using an oiler, which is
|
|
any ship with the oiler ability. (Note: if you are in a harbor,
|
|
you can't fuel from an oiler, you must use the harbor)
|
|
.s1
|
|
Ships and units can be fueled by either petrol or oil, with petrol being
|
|
used first. 1 unit of petrol = 5 fuel units. 1 unit of oil = 50
|
|
fuel units. Each ship or unit, in turn, will attempt to take on the
|
|
specified amount of fuel. Petrol/oil will be used for each ship or unit,
|
|
the amount being rounded up individually. For example, if you have
|
|
a harbor with 50 fuel in it, and you tell a ship with a 50 fuel
|
|
capacity to load 50 fuel, it'll use 1 oil. If you tell it to load
|
|
*1* fuel 50 times, it'll use *50* oil, with the round-up making
|
|
it use 1 oil each time. The solution, of course, is to not load
|
|
fuel in tiny, wasteful amounts.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Each update, ships and units use fuel to make mobility points. To produce
|
|
10 mobility points requires the number of units of fuel listed
|
|
for the ship or unit in the capability list. (see info show)
|
|
(This number is usually 1, but may be more). If the number is a 0,
|
|
the unit does not use fuel.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the ship or unit has no fuel,
|
|
it will attempt to get fuel using the supply procedure (see
|
|
info supply). It will try to use first petrol, then oil, until it has enough
|
|
fuel to get full mobility.
|
|
If it can't get fuel by using the supply system, it won't get mobility.
|
|
.s1
|
|
See \*Qshow\*U for a table of the maximum amounts of
|
|
fuel that can be carried on each type of unit or ship.
|
|
.s1
|
|
You can fuel friendly ships, but must fuel them one at a time, by number.
