Introduction

Product ecologies illustrate how the different tools of the GVCS work together. For example, motors, power units, and implements interchange within the tractor, microtractor, car, truck, fabrication, and bulldozer infrastructures. Ecologies can also refer to the way in which a set of tools can be put together to produce a wide array of products - such as the induction furnace contributing to the production of tractor parts, construction roofing, or wire.

There is a number of product ecologies that can be drawn up:

Overview of Ecologies
General Fabrication Ecology
Solar Energy Ecology
Construction Ecology
Agriculture Ecology
Power Cube Ecology
Materials Ecology
Hot Metal Processing Ecology
Custom Fabrication Ecology - basic custom fabrication minus full fab lab lab capacity
Electrical Power Ecology
Fabrication Automation Ecology
Implements Ecology
Universal Auger Ecology
Universal Power Supply Ecology
