Command : PRODUCTION

Basic

[##:##] 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 information, (see info syntax). Produce reports on any sector that would produce goods, sectors that don't produce anything or are less than 60% efficient are ignored.
A typical usage might be:
[##:##] 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  des eff wkfc will 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 sectors although working at 100% may show up less as the natural resources influence this figure.

wkfc

the number of active workers in the sector (in units of civilians).

will 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:
[##:##] prod #4 ?civ>100
