Actually I'd prefer to see a global "material per side" variable, and the
ability for certain units to perform "material_unit_to_global" and
"material_global_to_unit" actions to do the transfers.  It's probably
worth considering generic approaches to automatic transfer of materials
from global to unit stores, and visa-versa.
