Turf 2 Supply Chain Ideas

Ideas for supply chain should go here. If you would like to suggest a resource/chain

For some recipes all components are compulsory, for others

Primary Resources

Primary resources are produced continuously and endlessly from a relevant building based on natural deposits. Perhaps they should be boostable with suitable consumables (such as explosives)

• Iron Ore
• Gravel/Sand/Clay (should these be separate?)
• Oil
• Coal
• Natural Gas
• Uranium

Generated Resources

Require no inputs apart from electricity or water

• Hydrogen (via electrolysis)

Agricultural Resources

Agricultural Resources are grown. They could be generated by themselves, or have their yields increased by having access to something like fertilizer

• Lumber
• Grain
• Spices (Tropical)
• Rubber (Tropical)

Building Materials

Resource requirements for buildings should be some of these

• Bricks ( Clay -> Bricks)
• Concrete ( Sand + Lime -> Concrete )
• Steel ( Iron Ore + Coal -> Steel )
• Wood ( Lumber -> Wood )
• Building Supplies (Bricks / Concrete / Wood / Steel -> Building Supplies) -- Should there be a generic "building supplies" resource?

Consumables

Residential/Office/Civilian

• Foods (Grain -> Food)
• Paper (Lumber -> Paper)

Industrial/Military

• Small Arms ( Steel -> Weapons ) -- Should be augmentable with increasingly rare resources to make better tier weapons
• Natural Gas ( Hydrogen + CO2 -> Natural Gas via Sabatier process )
• Ammonia ( Natural Gas -> Ammonia )
• Fertilizer (Ammonia -> Fertilizer)
• Explosives (Fertilizer -> Explosives)
• Munitions ( Steel + Explosives -> Munitions )
• Military Supplies ( Munitions + Small Arms + Long Life Food + Medical Supplies ) -> Military Supplies

Waste

Waste resources are sometimes required to be removed in order to maintain

• CO2 (is normally vented)
• Garbage
