Transport Fever officially announced!

If there is no price, how do factories make a profit?

[nilssoa]

Who pays for the delivery, will factories choose the cheapest option? Why buy expensive materials from far away when there are cheaper ones close by?

Who pays for the transport? Factories should choose the cheapest alternative, the fastest makes no sense. As long as the factory receives a steady stream of supply it shouldn’t matter for how long it’s been transported.

[nilssoa]

What determines wich factory the city buys it’s goods from? Is it (raw material cost + production cost + total freight cost = consumer price?)

Factories with with low total freight costs should be more profitable, is it so? With that logic it would be possible to upgrade a factory to lower it’s production costs.

 

Where can one find the logic of the economic engine?
