Fugg. Just setting up the screenshots (to show what I want it to show) and naming the files took more time than the actual playing (with thinking through where to lay the first tracks). And typing this up took even more.
Not sure how to proceed, reporting every change would take up lot of time. But that would give a coherent story. Even at this point the situation evolved.
Connected that cotton plantation to supply that textile mill, which is now generating 4 goods for 2 wool and 2 cotton. The surplus goods needs to be moved somewhere.
And food. Now from Hefei I supply the meat plant, with cattle. Now I send 3 cars of food to Xuzhou and Hefei, because it takes longer for those to arrive than that one train do its round to that ranch on the east.
And there's the coal. I think cities accept coal, peeps heating their homes with that.
Congestion starts to build up in Huainan. Maybe I'm gonna build another station behind the factories, and ship resources there, and move the end products from wherever - I'm not sure they will placed into the same station where the resources arrive, or just randomly. Have to experiment with this.
Not sure about the further plans. With the large station there now I could ship the produce too, and need to find buyers for the goods of the Textile Mill. Maybe gonna connect another town, perhaps Wuhan further south west.
