Simulating Oil Production - 11/14/2008 10:06:53 PM

I've been thinking of doing this for some time.

I'm really only wanting to make some oil-dependent item types consume oil reserves at the time of production only.
I can do it by exploiting the existing regime slot structure in the editor.

Can anyone answer these questions for me

1. Under the ItemTypes are there 5 "RegimeSlotCost Needed" fields for each regime, or are there 5 fields available for all regimes together?

2. If I produced an ItemType called "Oil", is there a way to display it continuously along with supply?

I know this is a little like the manpower simulation some people have already done.

Interesting concept, I wish I knew enough about the modding scripts and techniques to help out. Obviously, abstracting supply and cities into oil and oil fields respectively would be the direct path.
