a) pay military on board
b) feed people on board
c) plague people on board
b) prepare all planes, in order of plane number
a) pay crew
c) prepare all land units, in order of land unit number
a) pay military on board

otherwise plague the people
e) pay for military reserves.
2) Produce
a) ship maintenance, in order of ship number
b) plane maintenance, in order of plane number

d) sectors, top to bottom, left to right
a) pay sector maintenance
b) sectors that are stopped are skipped (see info stop)
c) first increase eff
d) then make things
e) ship building, in order of ship number
first increase efficiency, then produce
stopped ships are started, but not built (see info stop)
f) plane building, in order of plane number
stopped planes are started, but not built (see info stop)

stopped land units are started, but not built (see info stop)
3) Then, do deliveries for all sectors in the world, row by row, going from
