– Industries will only produce, when there is a demand.
– Demand is created by adding a line between a goods producing industry and a town.
– only then the industry will create a demand by itself for raw materials
– Make sure you feed this industry with these materials.
– Industries will produce more if you transport the goods to multiple towns.
For the passengers, be sure to:
– Create some type of means for people to get to the station (by placing a busstop at your station, running from residential areas)
– Make sure there is something to go to in the town (by creating a busline from the station to industry-, leisure- or Comercial areas).
– Let the line(s) run for a while, like 2 to 3 years
The game is all about creating complete chains.
