Facts:
    - everything can be made out of dirt alone
    - everything can be made out of dirt+stone+weed alone
    - You can win the game without ever touching sediment
            (it's basically useless; convert it to glowbulbs ASAP)


- stone = 2 dirt
- weed = 5 dirt

-----------------------------

- glowbulb = 2 stone
           = 4 dirt

- mushroom = 5 weed
           = 25 dirt

- gas = 4 mushroom
      = 20 weed
      = 100 dirt

- wood = 3 weed + 2 stone
       = 19 dirt

-----------------------------

- energy = 4 stone + glowbulb + mushroom
         = 6 stone + 5 weed                 [weed=>mushroom, stone=>glowbulb]
         = 37 dirt

-----------------------------

- coal = 2 dirt    + 3 wood                         + 1 energy
       = 2 dirt    + 3 wood + 4 stone + glowbulb    + mushroom
       = 2 dirt + 12 stone + 14 weed
       = 96 dirt

- iron = 3 dirt    + 3 wood + 3 stone                   + 2 energy
       = 3 dirt    + 11 stone       + 3 wood + 2 glowbulb + 2 mushroom
       = 3 dirt + 21 stone + 19 weed
       = 140 dirt

- mechanical_part = 3 dirt        + 6 stone + 3 wood           + 3 energy
                  = 3 dirt + 18 stone     + 3 wood + 3 glowbulb + 3 mushroom
                  = 3 dirt + 21 stone + 24 weed
                  = 183 dirt

- gold = 12 wood      + glowbulb + 12 wood + 12 stone       + 9 energy
       = 8 dirt + 56 stone + 61 weed
       = 601 dirt

- diamond = 24 dirt     + 2 gas +  glowbulb + 24 wood + 24 stone     + 19 energy
       = 1439 dirt






====[ Production advice ]====

- Sediment isn't used in anything.  Turn it into glowbulbs ASAP.
- Wood is also mostly useless.  Turn it into coal ASAP.

- Convert dirt=>stone and dirt=>weed  so you have a stone:weed ratio of 1:1

- Convert weed => mushrooms until the stone:mushroom ratio is 4:1
- Convert stone => energy   until the stone:energy ratio is 4:1

- Convert energy+stone => iron      until the iron:energy ratio is 2:1
