[DEV] Resources Procurement

Thanks! I've read something about that too. I think those didn't reach full production until the middle of the war but I will look into it further. It's amazing how little verifiable information there is regarding U.S. strategic resources or plans ... I'm working on coal tonight and hopefully iron this weekend.
 
I drew up a spreadsheet and summarized production data into % of world output for 1939. Some of the numbers are approximations because the data was merged (ex: Japan occupied parts of China).

It's actually pretty hard to find solid data from SouthAmerica/Africa resource wise during WW2 but I found a map with the worlds coal deposits, could be combined with this graph to figure out the placements on a possible Earth scenario.

Edit: Added one for Africa. Seems like only South Africa needs a coal mine or two.

Quite welcome. If you've got any other projects to work on, let me know whichever ones would be most useful. If you have a base map, I can add the locations and percentage values. I started putting together a list of convoy routes for the for the colonies (South America) and eastern map (Japan, Russia, western U.S., etc.) with their tonnages for balance. Also, I was considering putting together a list of the Japanese operations in the SE to base Projects on.
