                             Command : PRODUCTION

NAME
   production - Predicts production of sectors at the next update

Level: Basic

SYNTAX
   [##:##] Command : production <SECTS>

Produce predicts how much is going to be produced at the next update.  It also
shows you how much could be produced if more materials were available  in  the
sector.

Note  that  due  to random rounding factors in the update, prod is not totally
accurate -- it may be off by a little bit.

In the syntax of the produce command <SECTS> is the area on which you wish in-
formation, (see "info syntax").  Produce reports on any sector that would pro-
duce goods, sectors that don't produce anything or are less than 60% efficient
are ignored.

A typical usage might be:
   [##:##] Command : produce 0:9,0:9 ?type=m
which would list data for mines in an area to the south-east of the capital.

The production report is headed by the lines:

   PRODUCTION SIMULATION
      sect  eff des avail  make p.e. cost   use1 use2 use3  max1 max2 max3   max

These columns represent:

    sect  the x and y coordinates of the sector
     des  The sectors designation
     eff  the efficiency of the sector in doing its task.  Note that some sec-
          tors although working at 100% may show up less as  the  natural  re-
          sources influence this figure.
   avail  the amount of work done in the sector.
    make  How much of what product will be made at the next update.
    p.e.  Production  efficiency  -  the  efficiency with which the product is
          made (i.e. how much benefit education or technology gives).
    cost  The cost of the product in dollars
use[123]  The three use fields show how much of what product are  consumed  in
          producing the given number of products produced.
max[123]  The three max fields show what would be used if it were available in
          the sector (i.e. this is what the workforce is capable of  using  if
          it was available).
     max  This field gives the maximum output for the workforce if all the raw
          materials were present.

For example:
