Command : CENSUS

Basic

[##:##] census <SECTS>

The census command displays specific information on some or all of the sectors you occupy.

In the syntax of the census command <SECTS> is the area on which you wish information, (see info Syntax).
A typical usage might be:
[##:##] census 0:9,0:9 ?des=m

which would list data for mines in an area to the south-east of the capital.

A census lists each of your sectors in the specified area headed by:

CENSUS                   del dst
  sect        eff prd mob uf uf *  civ  mil   uw food work avail ter coast

These columns represent:

sect

the x and y coordinates of the sector

eff

the efficiency of the sector (affects all benefits of a designated sector except mobility units)

prd

Will this sector be updated? If not, you will see an 'n'. This can be controlled with the start and stop\* commands.

mob

the number of mobility units, (see move)

uf

Two delivery columns corresponding to: uncompensated workers and food.

uf

Two distribute columns corresponding to: uncompensated workers and food.

*

occupied enemy sector.

civ

the number of civilians

mil

the number of military troops

uw

the number of uncompensated workers

food

the amount of food

work

the percentage of civilians working in the sector (based on the local sector happiness).

avail

the quantity of workforce available for construction or maintenance of planes, ships, or nukes.

ter

This is a territory for the sector that you can specify using the territory command.

coast

Is this a coastal sector? Note that the "coastal flag" gets set for the sector only when you use the census command, so if you want to query your sectors depending on whether they're coastal, then you may need to do a census twice--the first time to set the coastal flags, and the second time to query them.
For example:
[##:##] cens #0
