Overall Economic Flowchart

All buildings require Building Design to go up, most require stone and/or wood, some require other orders or materials (listed in parens after the building).
Each process on the economic flowchart has the following components:
  • Inputs (on left) - the process will use up these raw materials.
  • Building/Job - you assign this process in this building. If building is in italics, it is an object, instead. Following the slash is a job title - this job must be enabled on a dwarf or that dwarf will not participate in that level of the economic path.

Following the building is a list of skills and/or raw materials needed to make that building, or a #d reference to the job that can produce the good needed to do the job. All buildings require building designer, specialized requirements for different buildings will be added when I get around to it (see Building for now).

  • Outputs (on right) - These are the goods that are produced by the economic activity in question.
