+====== Factory Game Mechanics ======
+The Game Mechanics section of the manual details the internal formula used in the game's calculations.  This section of the manual uses pseudo-code and may not be 100% the same as the code in the game.
+The Game Mechanics part of the manual is mainly designed to be a reference for the frequently asked question, "Why do I get this rating when I do X, Y, Z?!" Usually, this answer involves many different variables, which this section of the manual demonstrates.
+**The game mechanics section of the manual shows [[https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/seeing+how+the+sausage+gets+made|how the sausage gets made]]. So you really may want to avoid this portion of the manual if you enjoy the game.**
+===== Variables =====
+This is a table of variables and their descriptions used in the formulas.
+^ Variable ^ Description ^  ^ Variable ^ Description ^
+| **Factory_Map_Adjustment** | This is the factory adjustment value found in the map's MapFileForGame.xml file | | **Lobbying_Maximum** | The maximum amount of money you can spend on lobbying. |
+| **Manufacturing_Skills** | Parent company's Manufacturing skills divided by 100 | | **Equipment_Wear** | For new factories, this value is set to 1. |
+| **City_Resources** | Resource Rating for the selected city | | **Max_City_Resources** | Highest resource rating for all cities in the game. |
+| **City_Infrastructure** | Infrastructure Rating for the selected city | | **City_Manufacturing** | Manufacturing Rating for the selected city |
+| **Difficulty** | Difficulty level the player selected at the start of the game | | **Lobbying_Funds** | Player's current spending effect on lobbying. (Spending effect slowly trails monthly lobbying spending amount until it catches up to the spending amount.) |
+| **Car_Manufacturing_Requirements** | Selected Vehicle's Manufacturing Requirements Rating | | **Car_Chassis_Outsourced** | True if the select car uses an outsourced chassis. |
+| **Car_Engine_Outsourced** | True if the select car uses an outsourced engine. | | **Car_Gearbox_Outsourced** | True if the select car uses an outsourced gearbox. |
+| **Factory_Tooling_Year** | The last year that the factory was retooled, recondition, built, or redesigned | | **Factory_Built_Year** | The year that the factory was built or redesigned. |
+| **Lines_Used** | The number of factory lines being used. | | **Current_Production_Lines** | The number of factory lines being used. |
+| **Upgrade_Amount** | Values are 0 for "Minor", 1 for "Medium", and 2 for "Max." | | **Upgrade_Attempt** | The number of times you have upgraded this factory since you built or redesigned it. |
+| **Employee_Difficulty** | Value is based on the player's difficulty level.  Easy: 30, Normal: 20, Hard/Nightmare: 10 | | **Wear** | Factory wear value between 0 and 1. |
+| **year** | Current game year | | **** | |
+| **ex_1d002p_year99** | 1.002%%^%%(year-1899) | | **ex_1d005p_year99** | 1.005%%^%%(year-1899) |

+==== Sliders ====
+^ Variable ^ Description ^  ^ Variable ^ Description ^
