Suggested name changes Unread post

I appreciate the work with TM, but I have some opinions on naming.

* "Gum" should be renamed "Latex". Latex from rubber trees is not the same thing as gum used in chewing gum or other foods.
* "Petroleum" should be renamed "Fuel oil". Petroleum is crude oil, the raw material.
* "Mnitions Factory" should be "Munitions Factory". Probably just a typo.
* "Food Processor" should be called "Butcher", or simply merged with the Cannery.

Latex was considered, but gum was settled on, cannot be changed now without completely re-doing everything.

Fuel Oil is two words...all carg is one word, and it represents all petroleum products, not just fuel oil.

Munititions factory is a typo.

Food processor is different from the cannery, and makes packaged meals.

We might have to agree to disagree on all entries but the Munitions Factory, then.

The Sea World would also look better as a Water Park.

Some names were chosen because they fit into the space available in the exe. Sea World was created by coruscate, so I went with what he had.

I fixed the typo in the munitions factory name.

I also took a look at the apothecary, and I am going to make a change to it to make the display better. Not until the weekend.
