Country Life Profits: Straight Line Products

The following table outlines the Straight Line Products that can be made in Country Life. Straight line products are those that can be made with a single base crop using one or more animals and/or gear.

For example: A Wool Sweater is an a example of a second tier straight line product.

Base Crop: Wheat.
Tier One: Wheat is fed to Sheep to Produce Wool.
Tier Two: Wool is used in the Weaver Gear to produce the wool sweater.

I am defining this type of production as "straight line products", because they do not require the addition of another base crop or product for its final production. In other words, a straight line can be drawn from the planting of the Wheat Seed to the final production of the Wool Sweater.
