A Transport Route
Obviously, one of your main jobs in the game will be construction of trans-
port routes and buildings, because without transport routes, transportation
of goods might be a bit difficult. And without buildings, nothing works at
all, not even with ships or airplanes. Don‘t worry, there‘s really not much
you have to know to be able to build a functioning transport route. With a
simple example, which we‘ve intentionally made a bit more complex than
necessary, we will now construct a first transport route. Let‘s stick to the
example we‘ve already mentioned above, and see how to transport tree
trunks from a woodcutter store to a sawmill.

So, let‘s look for a woodcutter store, not too far away from the sawmill. But
wait-how do we find these buildings?

Moving in the Game Environment
The normal method is to move the
section of the game environment
until you finally find the suitable
building. To do so, simply move
the mouse cursor to the edge of
the game screen. The game envi-
ronment will follow in the same
direction.
