Timber & Lumber (m³, base price $400) is extractable forestry output — lumber and pulp inputs for construction, real estate, and manufacturing.
Market behaviour
Prices blend 50% global + 25% national (country-aggregate) + 25% regional (state), drifting toward equilibrium at 6% per turn (95% closed in one game year). Raw D/S remains visible for diagnosis; price and margin math use the same raw ratio up to 3x, then a softened effective pressure tail beyond that.
Sector profit margins are computed separately at three tiers — global, national, and local (state) — then blended at 50/25/25 by default. Tariff pressure shifts weight from the global leg to the national leg (local stays fixed at 25%), so a heavily-tariffed country becomes more sensitive to its own domestic supply chain. See Commodities for the full pricing mechanics and margin formula.
