There are also easy-to-understand icons associated with the towns, resources and factories for fast reference of what they supply and demand. For example, a dairy farm resource doesn’t demand anything to function, but it supplies milk. If you have a food factory nearby that needs milk, you could build train tracks between them and create a train to travel from the farm to
