This specification covers the format of all ordinance files within SimCity 4 Savegame files. The relevant Type IDs are as follows: 00D0723D, 02BF1DFA, 22F6E80C, 22F6E81B, 40D07236, 42BF1E18, 62BF1DAA, 62BF1DB9, 62F6E7CF, 815B4CEF, 82B9999B, A0D07129, A2BF1DDC, A2BF1DE5, A2BF1E43, C2BF1DC5, C2BF1E04, C2F6E81F, E0D0722E, E0D07233.
