Light industrial areas

Light industry converts ore into goods. The conversion becomes more efficient if steel is also available. Power increases the output further still. Inefficient low-voltage power may be delivered by transport. High-voltage power can be directly supplied by power lines. Windmills will barely provide enough low-voltage power.

As a rule of thumb, the output of a light industrial area is mainly dependent on the amount of raw materials, including labor, that it can receive, and also the amount of goods that can be taken away.

These areas connect directly to transport to exchange labor, ore, steel, power and goods. They may need a market to run at full capacity.

Light industries produce heavy pollution.

59 labor + 250 ore + 12 steel + (4500 hi-volt or 9000 lo-volt) => 1800 goods

40 labor + 250 ore + (4500 hi-volt or 9000 lo-volt) => 900 goods

59 labor + 125 ore + 12 steel => 450 goods

40 labor + 125 ore => 225 goods
