}Pending verification
- Compare the construction inputs with the in-game building panel.
- Confirm whether construction stages repeat or allow alternate materials.
- Confirm the staffing limit and measure output under controlled staffing.
- Check whether this variant is available in normal gameplay.
Content availability
Presence in the installed files does not establish release or menu availability.
Sum of distinct material formulas in the linked construction stages. Repeated stages and alternatives need gameplay verification.
