Recovered from game v30, build 254. A source match confirms the stored value; it does not confirm live gameplay behavior.

}Gameplay checks
- Observe a full production cycle and compare actual materials consumed and produced.
- Verify whether all recovered branches are active for this building.
- Measure timing with a fixed workforce and nearby storage.
- Check equipment requirements, capacity limits and unused leftovers.
Material balance, not production speed
These ratios eliminate intermediate states. Worker availability, equipment, storage, hauling and animation timing still need gameplay checks.
Some branches need interpretation
This chain includes alternate producers, extraction sources, internal prerequisites, partial outputs or other unresolved behavior. See the full evidence below.
