IGCost URCost

In the default.unit file there's the IGCost and URCost.

what do they mean?

[YoMomma]

A wild guess, but industry good cost and uranium cost to build that specific unit/building?

That's indeed pretty wild. Especially since there should be also ore cost, oil cost, etc but that isn't there

IRC ore&oil included in IG

I do not know if what it typed is true, but Industrial Goods are made up of Petroleum/Ore etc. There is a formula on these forums somewhere which shows this. I do not remember the numbers but an example would be;

Industrial Goods = Metal Ore and Petroleum and Electricity and Coal

Consumer Goods - Petroleum and Metal Ore and Electricity and Industrial Goods

Military Goods = Petroleum and Electricity and Industrial Goods and Metal Ore and Rubber

Each item is a combination of resources... it is possible that is what it represents

Yes, as noted, these are the "costs" associated with building a unit or facility:

- "Cost" - dollar cost to build the unit
- IG Cost - Industrial Goods required (generally only for facilities)
- Weight - This is the Military goods required (in tonnes) - both units and facilities
- UR Cost - Uranium cost. Common for nuclear weapons

As well, when a unit or facilities is deployed / comes online, these two additional resources are used:

- Ammo - Military goods fills up the ammo capacity of the unit
- Fuel - Petroleum fills up the fuel capacity of the unit.

Both Military and Industrial goods are a combination of items (coal, petrol, ore, rubber), so all those items are included by way of those resources. I don't have the exact numbers off the top of my head - for modders, they are set in the WMDATA file or the Equipment list under the facilities inputs. They are also adjusted by technologies.

High George. Thank you for this explanation!

Should put it in the supreme pedia! it's very helpful information to understand the underlying basics of the game.
