Industries

Industries provides many opportunities to make money. Most industries will typically produce some kind of cargo. There are three tiers of industries: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Primary industries produce goods, which can be delivered to a Secondary Industry. Secondary Industries can use those materials and produce goods or food, which can be sent to Tertiary industries.

The income is for transporting the goods, not from the actual buying/selling of goods.

To display the industry window, simply click on the industry. In the industry window, there will be the name of the industry, production numbers, location button, and a display chain button. The first production number(s) will be a number followed by a unit (tons, gallons, liters, crates etc.). This is how much of a particular good is produced in the previous month. The second number, in a percentage, will be how much you transported of the good within the timespan of one month.

The location button will move the map to the industry. Display chain will open a window showing what buildings and goods connect to the industry.

Funding Industries
It is possible to use money to place industries on the map. There are three settings with funding industries: None, Prospecting (default), and As other industries.

None prevents you from funding anything, and you have to rely on the map.

Prospecting lets you fund industries that produce raw materials (primaries except for City/Town, and bank). The location will be random, and may have a chance of failing.

As other industries lets you choose wherever you want to place the industry. Note you will only get extra cargo, and can't destroy normally. Be careful where you place them!
