Resource & Production Types

There are a limited number of Resource And Production types in the game, including Liberty Bells, Ankhs, Hammers, And Gold, which are not traditional resources like the rest of what we will talk about.
Then there's Food, which can cause a population increase if you gather enough of it.
Next comes Sugar Cane, which can be processed into Rum, useful for trade.
Than Cotton, which can be made into Cloth, which often sells well in the old world.
Now Tobacco, which will fetch a pretty penny raw but processed into Cigars is legendary for the **** prices it can command.
Here we have Furs, a resource you will probably glut the old world markets on quickly because of how prevalent it is in the new world's environment, but which can also be processed into Coats, a decent product early on, but not especially valuable later.
And after we get through all of that, we come to Ore: ore processes into Tools, which are used for building almost every kind of city improvement, and for Pioneers to do their work, AND for making Muskets which you need for your troops... Ore is the key resource and base link of your whole economy.
