Sure. Say you are building a fleet. To build the fleet requires 4 units of nanoelectronics (resource id 6), 8 units of exoticalloy (id 3) and 2 units of fuel (id 1). Then the build order looks like this: <42> (planet object id) <0> (slot number) <5> (build order type) <3> (number of turns to finish) <3> (number of items in the resource list) <3><8> (resource id/quantity pair, exoticalloy) <6><4> (resource id/quantity pair, nanoelectronics) <1><2> (resource id/quantity pair, fuel) and now the extra data. So resources are already there as things used in the performing of this order. Order Parameter that just deals with selecting quantities of resources I think would be helpful. A useful UI such as the one in Stars! would be possible in this case. > And does it contain enough information to do this sort of thing? The resource descriptions includes singular and plural name, singular and plural units, volume per unit and mass per unit. > Regards, > nash Later Lee
