Tile type elements may have several production elements. Each production
element contains one or several goods to be produced. If the production
attribute "unattended" is true, then the production is only available
for the colony center tile. If the production attribute
"productionLevel" is not null, then the production is only available at
that production level, which is in turn set by the tile production option.
This is the production definition for the arctic tile type, for example:
<production unattended="true" productionLevel="veryHigh">
<output goods-type="model.goods.grain" value="2"/>
</production>
<production unattended="true" productionLevel="high">
<output goods-type="model.goods.grain" value="1"/>
</production>
This means that arctic tiles will produce one or two units of grain as
colony center tiles if the production level is high or very high, and
nothing otherwise.
I hope this explanation helps.
