Stockpiling materials

[cosmicfish]

5 years after total war, the only reasonable expectation is that any identifiable resources would either be inaccessible (covered in fallout, for example), exploited by the survivors, or only of value in the longer term. The Project cannot depend on scavenging, especially for their own operations, but rather must assume that the local populace will contribute supplies and resources to their survival under Project or other expert direction.

So I would argue that Project stores would focus on those resources needed for perhaps a year or two of Project operation, in addition to those materials necessary to variously reequip the Project and/or make up for any reasonable losses from the war. So there might be extensive seed stocks but relatively few tractors - if the project as machine shops and mechanics, it will be easier to repair existing tractors than store new ones, but there is a big risk that existing seed stocks will either have been contaminated or consumed out of desperation.
