Reserves X items of product Y.

The example reserves 20 gasses.

Recombine three specialised goods to form 3 normal goods. For example: 150 Simtech Information + 150 Gnosis Information + 150 KnowDisc Information → 150 .

Directive: recombine
Product A [rule]: Simtech Information
Product B [rule]: Gnosis Information
Product C [rule]: KnowDisc Information
Amount: 150
</data>

The amount is either a positive integer, or -1. -1 is the 'as much as possible' indicator, which means the recombination will consume all available product in the ordered combination. If the amount is left out, it will also produce is much as possible.

Do not create 12-Sets, and create at most 45 9-Sets.

<data economic_directive #Directive 3>
System [ref]: YOUR-SYSTEM-NAME
Directive: taxset-limit
12-Set: 0
9-Set: 45
</data>

The directive has four properties: 12-Set, 9-Set, 6-Set and 3-Set.

A limit is either 0, or a positive integer.

Note: If you want to limit a tax set, you must limit all larger sizes. This is due to the internals of the tax tool.
