.s1
|
|
Many Empire sector types exist specifically
|
|
to turn \*Qraw\*U materials into products.
|
|
Some of those products may, in turn,
|
|
be considered raw materials for other industries
|
|
which produce other products.
|
|
.s1
|
|
This table gives the constituents and costs for each type of product.
|
|
.s1
|
|
NOTE: All costs given in the table are for 100% production efficiency.
|
|
Many processes depend on technology level
|
|
or educational level of the country;
|
|
a note like \*Qp.e.=(tlev+10)/(tlev+20)\*U means
|
|
that a country with a technology level of 0
|
|
has a production efficiency of 50%
|
|
and will only produce one-half of the specified product amount
|
|
for the given costs,
|
|
whereas a country with a technology level of 100
|
|
will have a production efficiency of 92%.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In addition, some sectors don't produce raw materials as well as others,
|
|
and some produce much better than others. Use the "show sector capabilities"
|
|
command to see production efficiencies and other useful information on
|
|
producing sectors.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The rate at which constituents are turned into products
|
|
is governed by the \*Qwork\*U accrued to a sector
|
|
(see \*Qinfo Innards\*U) divided by the units of constituents
|
|
per unit of product.
|
|
E.g., it takes 3 units of \*Qwork\*U to produce 1 shell;
|
|
2 units to incorporate the light construction materials
|
|
and 1 unit for the heavy.
|
|
\*QNatural resources\*U such as fertility
|
|
count as one unit of constituents;
|
|
e.g., it takes 1 unit of work per unit of food produced.

.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 mineral content in mines.
|
|
Extracting iron ore is free,
|
|
and the mineral content of the sector is not depleted
|
|
by mining iron.
|
|
.L dust
|
|
Gold dust production depends on gold mineral content in gold mines.
|
|
Extracting gold dust is free,
|
|
but the gold mineral content of the sector is depleted
|
|
by mining gold dust. In addition, mountains may sometimes produce
|
|
gold dust as well. The efficiency of mountains producing gold dust
|
|
may not be as good as gold mines. Use the "show sector capabilities"
|
|
command to see the production efficiency of sectors.
|
|
.L bars
|
|
Gold bars are produced in banks.
|
|
Gold bar production depends on gold dust in gold mines.
|
|
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 the fertility of the sector is not depleted by growing food.
|
|
.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 the oil content of the sector is depleted
|
|
by extracting and refining oil.
|
|
.L petroleum
|
|
Petroleum production depends on technology level;
|
|
p.e.=(tlev-20)/(tlev-10).
|
|
A unit of petroleum costs $1 to manufacture.
|
|
Every 10 units of petroleum require 1 unit of oil to produce.
|
|
You must have a minimum technology of 20 to produce petroleum.
|
|
.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),
|
|
costs $10 to produce and requires 1 unit
|
|
of light construction materials (see "info Happiness").
|
|
.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".
|

|
|
of light construction materials,
|
|
5 units of oil and 1 unit of gold dust (see "info Research").
