There is production only for military in TCWE2. It is done with the idea to avoid extra micromanagement and make game more focused on politics and military actions. Civilian production is included in GDP and doesn’t have separate finance sector as military. Taking funds from GDP for military reduces Civilian production and national income. Reducing GDP relates to slower growth of development level.
Production is based on private and nationalized economy sectors. Players can take funds from GDP to manage production withing the limit. When production is done funds go back to GDP. For example, if you take 150 from private sector you will be able to produce military units on the particular fund amount. Once it is done 150 goes back to GDP ( back to Civilian economy sector ).
Managing production line is under player control. If the limit is 150 and you placed your orders for 500 the first 150 starts to build. When the first military production in the line finishes other starts to produce. You will be able to move and prioritized military orders in the production line.
And there is another production limit for orders. Let’s call it - order spending limit. This limit relates to your technological production line level. Order spending limit is how much you can spend on the particular order. Advancing your technology level will increase order spending limit.
Let’s make big example to see how it all work together. We are taking 150 from private sector. We place an order for 320 jets. Our max order spending limit is 20. It means we can take only 20 from 100 to build our order for jets. Another 80 from 100 goes to other orders in the line. On the picture below you can see how this example would look in the game. 1.9 is amount of jets we produce per turn.
